What You Were Never Told About Chronic Pain

from Go Regulate Yourself · host Brianne Roberge

Have you ever had a cut or bruise on your body that until you noticed it, it didn't hurt? But then, as soon as you did- suddenly it was painful and you noticed it all the time?This isn't a coincidence. In fact- it's precisely what you've never been told about pain. The truth is that 'pain' is an experience that happens in our conscious brain, and the thought of pain comes before we even realize that we are experiencing it.Which means... the more you think about it, the worse that it is. Yikes! Therefore, in today's episode, we are discussing the 'pain protocol' that I have been experimenting with for the last few weeks- and why this method works better than anything else you'll ever try. In this episode, we discuss:The link between pain and your conscious brain, and how your thoughts and beliefs are actually responsible for the pain that you are feelingHow anxiety, fear and stress all increase your pain perception, and how you can work to decrease these in your own life with ease Why 'not talking about it' and focusing your attention on other parts of your life works so well (plus other things that you can do)How I've been able to live relatively pain-free for the last few weeks, and what this has now given me as a result in my life AND SO MUCH MORE! Let's go ahead and dive in, shall we?   Connect on Instagram:Your Coach BrianneGo Regulate Yourself  Connect on Facebook:Your Coach BrianneGo Regulate Yourself
