Last August, Sean Hershey, LCSW, interviewed me on his Mind-Body Medicine for Chronic Pain podcast.
We discussed my story of healing, what has worked for me, the challenges people face when trying to heal through the medical system–and the importance of spirituality for me.
You may be like me and many others who suffered for years (even decades) from chronic pain–and never knew there is a completely natural cure for it.
You may have been told that all you can do is manage or cope with your pain–but maybe you have never been told you can permanently heal your pain.
According to the most recent research in pain neuroscience, pain education is the most effective treatment for chronic pain. Not exercise, not diet, not medication, and not surgery. The vast majority of people can permanently heal their pain when they receive the right information. That’s it.
“That’s it?” You’re probably thinking. “But isn’t there something like a procedure, or a regimen, or something physical that I have to do to get better?” According to Dr. John Sarno, author of “Healing Back Pain,” information is the cure. It was his work that helped me and countless others overcome unrelenting chronic pain.
So what is this information that cures? In a nutshell, it is the understanding that for the vast majority of people with chronic pain, there is nothing structurally wrong with our bodies and there is nothing to fear. It is our belief in a structural cause and our fear of it that keep us in pain.
A lot of what we believe is unconscious, so if there is any “work” involved in healing, it is the uncovering of the unconscious beliefs we all hold.
Even with the recent great strides in modern neuroscience, however, most people are completely unaware of what truly causes chronic pain and our incredible ability to heal from it naturally.
You don’t have to be like most people. You can get better, and you can get better permanently. Your healing journey begins with this first step: an openness to hearing this good news- this amazing news!
There are many online resources I have collected over the years that I strongly recommend. With this information, you can start healing today.
- “Chronic pain” is pain that has lasted for 3 or more months. Chronic pain can be felt in the back, shoulder, foot, knee, wrist, and many other parts of the body, and also includes a large number of other symptoms and conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome and chronic fatigue. It does not include pain resulting from an acute structural injury such as a broken bone, nor does it include pain from cancerous tumors and other disease processes. ↩︎
