Move With Deb the Podcast

I'm deep in dreaming about the future.... I'm migrating my online pain science program to a new platform. I'm going to be filling my brain wiht incredible hypnosis training this month embodying change work on topics like shame, trauma, nervous system repair, self concept and psychedelic states, and maybe even some weird stuff like past life regression and accessing relaxing trance states. Who knows what will happening after attending Hypnothoughts Live. But I know that I haven't been very focused here. So my apologies. Even if I'm not on here creating a podcast, I am working with clients helping them create powerful embodied shifts in their wellbeing and I thought I'd just share a little bit of that with you today. If you are curious about mindbody coaching and how we can use the mind and somatics to create less pain and more of the life you want to live, I would love to talk to you. You can find the link to my calendar at my website - www.movewithdeb.com

I share with you my recent experience of having Covid and the mindbody medicine informed methods I used to help me decrease fear and recover without lingering symptoms. I share other recovery stories and first person information about people who have recovered from lingering symptoms colloquially known as "long covid". I hope that my process is helpful for you. If you would like to chat with me - here's a link to book a free Curiosity Call - https://calendly.com/paincoachdeb RESOURCES What different people across the mindbody medicine field are discovering are the similarities between Covid symptoms and other long term chronic pain/illness symptoms and how the pain-fear-pain cycle plays into the perpetuation of symptoms after the body has recovered. So using this same approach they're seeing good responses. Here's some resources that I've both listened to or read directly or have been told about through my colleagues.https://www.positivelycovid.org/https://www.longcovidcured.com/ - this has some great recovery stories - including Paul Garner, infectious disease Dr. https://www.longcovidcured.com/about - this is a lovely list of various resources. I can offer people 6 weeks free of the Curable app if anyone wants to try that.https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/jun/10/long-covid-hope-recovery-symptoms - Dr. Garner's story of recoveryhttps://www.recoverynorway.org/2023/01/23/long-covid-recovery-gary/ - I like how Gary describes his understanding of the mindbody recovery process.https://www.thismighthurtfilm.com/long-covid - Neuroplastic pain recovery resources from the team at This Might Hurt documentaryhttps://youtu.be/4vF0XNBTv9A - Interview with Dr. Schubiner, explaining the mindbody process to address Long CovidThis is probably MORE than enough. It's all pretty much the same content (how to change the body experience, through retraining the brain) just through different lenses. Happy to share more. I think just learning that recovery is possible even begins the change due to predictive processing.

This episode I lead you through the work of PRT, Pain Reprocessing Therapy and how it ties into Intentional Thought Creation and the mindbody process, changing our physiological and emotional experiences. I share a story about the power of an audacious thought I practiced on my way to a party and also one of my favorite thoughts when dealing with triggering memories. Change is always possible, we are never helpless, no matter how we feel about any circumstance or situation. Learning how to apply these tools have changed so many lives and it's possible for you too. Book a curiosity call and let's talk about how you can work with me. https://calendly.com/paincoachdeb Here's Dr. Ashar's lecture on PRT and The Boulder Back Pain Study findings. A 5 year follow up study is in the works! https://youtu.be/wotWuvrJW3I

In this episode I share how my clients' evocative metaphor work included imagery around floating and water which led me to remember the work of Dr. Claire Weekes and her book, Hope and Help for Your Nerves Hardcover – January 1, 1969.When we are using a mindbody approach to healing it can feel kind of exhausting to remember and use all these tools, and especially if we are in a panic to not feel uncomfortable stuff. So learning to surrender, to float, is a very powerful message to our nervous system that there is no THREAT. It's not the same kind of dorsal freeze of a small animal pretending to be dead, no, it's the conscious releasing of tension using visualization and self trust which evokes the felt sense of safety, of OKness. Here's some links to articles about her approach to anxiety - https://www.anxietycoach.com/claire-weekes.html https://www.tmswiki.org/ppd/Overcome_Anxiety_with_Dr._Claire_Weekes As you listen, remember it's not about knowing this stuff intellectually but being willing to play and practice these experiences in your body. Just like reading about weight lifting isn't the same as visualizing yourself lifting or actual weight lifting. If you are feeling stuck on your journey to feeling better and would like a kind, curious and skilled guide, let's chat! https://calendly.com/paincoachdeb

This podcast discussed the process of training our attention system on purpose, teaching ourselves how to use our past experiences in service for our future selves. Proceeding into our today and tomorrow self benefits from wearing gentle goggles when we look in the rear view mirror. I discuss some client stories and explore my own around moving and how I navigate efforting, physical pain and unlearning old conditioned responses. How we pay attention and build belief in change, is a foundation of neuro + bio plasticity. We illuminate, learn and practice with intention and exquisite self care in my coaching container. If you don't know how to do that, I promise to teach you. Learn how to stop shitting on past you in service of future you. You can book a curiosity call with me at - https://calendly.com/paincoachdeb I look forward to connecting with you and chatitng about what working together could be like.

Today's podcast I'm reflecting on conversations I've had with clients and myself about noticing shame and finding our way to the other side. I'm calling this a practice of Catch + Release Shame. Learning how to lean into what we usually avoid is the beginning of changing everything. When I asked my client for permission to share some of our conversation on the podcast, this was her response: "Specifically, if you'd like more client perspective when you share: "your client" found that there was hidden shame, like in the "little" things they would not have guessed would have shame around them. This is because they consider themselves very open and shame-free when it comes to the things that society is so often shaming people for (gender, body size/hair, kinks, etc.) so they assumed there was no shame. Nope. They were blind to the little shames and grateful you pointed them out so they could explore the why's and work to release them, thus allowing enjoyment to fill that space, instead. I hope our "discoveries" help others

Oh the irony, I realized that in describing this idea WE didn't practice it. But I think that's not the easiest thing to do on a podcast because it needs empty air time. Soooooooooooo this is to put the ideas in your head what you can practice in the non-podcast time.

This is a peek inside my mind after I've read an article that really lights me up or brings me useful insights to help me help you (and myself). I share my somatic practices that help explore the beliefs around chronification supported by the Scandinavian Journal Of Pain. https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/sjpain-2022-0100/html?lang=en https://calendly.com/paincoachdeb- click here to book a curiosity call with me!https://www.instagram.com/movewithdeb/ - are you following me?

This episode I share with you a triad of mindbody experiences that are inspired by the question - What is the most loving thing you can think about .....? I share experiences around giving feedback as an employee, how to work through a fight/flight response to be able to "see" one's loved one again and how imagining someone in their whole self/whole state can create change even without knowing "why" it works. Here's some of the awesome humans I enjoy learning from - Lindsay Dotzlaf - https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com Melissa Tiers - https://www.melissatiers.com/ A Conversation with Dr. Ashar about the science of primary pain that I co-hosted at Lin Health - https://youtu.be/wotWuvrJW3I Dr. Ashar's twitter - https://twitter.com/YoniAshar If you are interested in working with me, I currently offer 12 weeks of mindbody/life coaching or if you want a quick shot of hypnosis, we can do that as well. https://calendly.com/paincoachdeb

This is my riff off of new research about Misophonia and how it's not about sounds but it's about the perceived violation of our bodily autonomy in some people, our bodies are mirroring the motor patterns. If we extend this metaphor, can we explore all other sensory inputs as well as the inputs of social, cultural and familial beliefs, thoughts and feelings? What is ours, what is theirs, and how can we strengthen our own human envelope against undesired permeability? Here's the Scientific American article - https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/misophonia-might-not-be-about-hating-sounds-after-all/ And my episode #40 - the I Notice Practice - https://www.movewithdeb.com/podcasts/move-with-deb-the-podcast/episodes/2147657304 The link to my consult calendar to book a curiosity call.

In this episode, I share 3 short clips, 2 post gym videos I made one week to the next that I meant to but never posted on IG- https://www.instagram.com/movewithdeb/ and a short fun clip with my trainer Melissa - https://www.instagram.com/lamaliciabkln/ It's sometimes hard to be Jewish, Neurodivergent and record interviews as I have a (get excited to share and also cultural norms of talking over/with others). But you can hear what she's saying and more important what she's adding into the conversation about how to listen without storytelling. I feel so lucky to have had this experience of working with her as my trainer and I'm really lucky to have myself, because I know how to listen to what I need and take my needs seriously and find amazing collaborators!

In this podcast, you get to listen in on my conversation with Paula about what it was like to work on pain recovery after getting cleared from her Doctor and having spent a long time in PT. We have a foundation of using Thought Work and The Model which comes from The Life Coach School, and we are both members of The Clutch, a feminist coaching community created by Kara Loewentheil. I am also an LCS trained coach and completed my Advanced Certification in Feminist Coaching with Kara this past year. Thoughtwork, The Model, Feminism, and understanding of the neuroscience of pain all blend together in my coaching practice with my clients. There's many roads to change, to mindbody change and shifting out of pain into a greater sense of wellbeing. I'm happy to be a guide for your explorations.

Examining our pain behaviors is an unavoidable important step for pain recovery, mind body healing and change work. Listen in and then apply this to yourself.Here's two articles about pain behaviors. The abstract from a chapter on Pain Behaviors with citations.https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007/978-3-540-29805-2_302 https://www.instituteforchronicpain.org/blog/item/210-reducing-pain-behaviors-coping-with-pain-series - this one doesn't address how to update the brain's prediction of pain but it doesn't address how to explore pain behaviors.

This episode I am riffing more on the "change is weird" theme I started last week. This week I had an experience with a flight being cancelled and I noticed how unusually calm I was. I wasn't trying to be calm, I just was. And that embodied change was created through the mindbody practices I have been using and teaching, especially my hybrid hypnocoaching work. My old habituated responses got unwired enough so that they couldn't get picked up and associated into in the ways they had previously and that's just so fascinating and amazing to experience. Change is possible. I want you to have more of what you want to be experiencing in life. Please listen and see how this might relate to you and your current mindbody experience.

This episode I share a story with you about a friend and I changing her morning panic in a New York City diner and how we can embrace the process of change as something we are capable of doing because of how our brain works. I get a little into how I want to change my relationship to making this podcast and getting more of the feelings I want to have more of. And I discuss how WEIRD it can feel when things we are used to dealing with so much changes and how to embrace the weird.If you want to know more about how a mindbody hypnocoaching approach to decreasing symptoms associated with stress illnesses, anxiety, TMS or neuroplastic pain can help you, please book a curiosity call with me! https://calendly.com/paincoachdeb

I've just graduated from Melissa Tiers' Integrative Hypnosis Training and I'm dedicating the month of November to playing and practicing skills and YOU'RE INVITED. This podcast goes over some of the connections between hypnosis and mindbody work. Also I give you the details about why we'll be doing and why I'm so excited about it!

In this podcast I talk about some of the physiological ways our body processes stress, yawning, crying, spontaneous inhalation. (I don't get sciencey) You can find more information about this from the book Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle, coauthors (and twin sisters) Emily and Amelia Nagoski. I'm also currently studying with Dr. Amy Apigian in her 21 Day Journey to Calm Aliveness in which she shares Somatic Experiencing exercises. This episode is about how to use this reframe as a way to shift out of shame into curiosity. I share some of my hiking experiences in Iceland, especially when I was walking on a Glacier!

Hello again, I've been gone, kind of hiding a bit because I've been dealing with some pain and that's been causing me to feel some fear and shame and creating difficulty in wanting to show up in this podcasting space. Here's a little story, as I like to tell about my endlessly fascinating experience in a human body. There's a second part that will follow up as I share the report of my x-ray and a conversation with my colleague, Charlie Merrill, PT.

Here's a super short, super basic quickie somatic tracking overview.

In this podcast I discuss how giving myself permission to enjoy a task created a powerful corrective experience about feeling joy and positive feelings. I talk about how that led to being able to finally finish a to do list I've been procrastinating on as well as feeling free to hop on a bike for the first time in a decade.

Hello again! I am back after an unplanned break where my nervous system decided to show me an opportunity for some healing by giving me a big old NOPE in regards to taking action in my work life.

We are in our 2 year anniversary of Covid shut downs and we are experiencing a war. Nothing is "back to normal", and there's a lot of nuance to be said about what that even means. But what I'm noticing is I am being asked to make room for uncomfortable emotions in my life while I'm also moving forward. This episode is little snippets from my practice and from the work I'm doing with my clients around sleep and how to create peace that will lead to sleep.

Hello! I'm sharing some thoughts about not only my favorite concept but one that has been THE most powerful tools in the mindbody arsenal for healing. CURIOSITY! It's not as sexy as a fancy treatment with a lot of sibyls, but it's effective! And you can start today. No prescription needed.

This episode is a guided journey through processing an emotion. I recommend listening to it first before trying it, to acclimate your brain to the work that will be happening. While you are listening, pay attention to any judging or fear thoughts. Any thoughts that sound like, this won't work for me. I can't do this. I am bad at visualizing... and that's ok. There's no wrong way to do this. There's no wrong answer. Are you willing to try? Can you become curious? What does approaching an activity with curiosity feel like? What if this is fun? What might that experience feel like?This is a lovely to accompany this work. While I would write some words differently, in general I feel really aligned with his words and felt uplifted by them, so in that spirit I share them with you. https://www.omaritani.com/blog/how-to-process-difficult-emotions I am looking forward to continuing to connect, share and grow with you in the coming year.Please feel free to reach out to me via instagram @movewithdebMy 1:1 pain recovery coaching program will be reopening this Spring. More news to come.

This episode is a bit of a journey through my experience of getting an email that triggered some strong emotions for me. One of the most powerful ways for me to learn is through Narrative. In episode 41, I speak about powerful ways we learn embodied concepts. Just as we can learn pain, fear and overwhelm. We can unlearn them. So my process of sharing my experience is to help you begin to explore the ways you can use language affect your nervous system and rewired your learned conditioned responses.

Dr. Howard Schubiner, author of Unlearn Your Pain (I said it wrong in the pod, oooops sorry!) and leading mindbody physician dropped a nugget in my colleague's head which then got whispered into my ear and dropped into my auditory cortex to be processed..... I was like ooooooooh yes, FEAR is the main thing that we are helping with.

Episode 41, I discuss how I've integrated new mindbody experiences into my life at different times and what that Embodied AHA looks and feels like. I share a concept called Tacit Knowledge which is about how we can use something someone else has learned and apply that as a skill in our own life, which is very relevant for the mindbody process. https://commoncog.com/blog/tacit-knowledge-is-a-real-thing/?

Today I'm sharing with you some of my thoughts on central sensitization syndrome and the distinction between being sensitive and sensitized and the process of desensitization for pain and unpleasant sensations for healing.

This week I share with you two experiences of mine around a stress response called a Dorsal Freeze. It's been my belief and experience that when we understand our nervous system and the relationship to our physiology, healing can occur. We have one mind, one body and one nervous system -- we are one being that moves through the world - assessing sensory experiences for our own survival. When we take the path towards embodied understanding our whole body responds and we can create the lives we want to live (even while there's systems in the world we want to change).

Episode 37 of Move With Deb, the Podcast is all about my inadvertent discovery of my own cognitive-somatic neuro-rewiring. Or as I sometimes lovingly think about it as training my dog of a mindbody. Or even simpler, I am untriggering myself. Language can be so imprecise in these moments and can be our greatest ally and tool. I hope you enjoy this episode and try applying some of the skills in your own life.

Ok y'all. I know you love to listen to me talk about my mindbody practice but like I could just be doing it and keeping it to myself. This podcast is for you to begin to make connections and learn to practice and apply these skills in your life. So I created a short snack sized skills podcast version of the Somatic Smile activity for you to take with you and practice. I'm going to get into this in next week's podcast but hey be willing to fail or not be good at this. Failing creates focus which primes us for learning. :)

Welcome to Episode 35. I wanted to continue the conversation I started last week about Fear language in Trauma healing. But also what if there is danger? What if the systems we need to engage in for our lives to be operating with ease are rife with racism, sexism, fat phobia, trans phobia and so on? How can we use these tools and other ones in a skillful way for our highest benefit?

This episode has a funny blooper in it. Can you find it? Besides that, I want you to know that I believe your pain is real. And just because we are discovering new ways to reprocess your pain, it doesn't mean it's your fault for having it in the first place. Your body does what it does. Pain is a part of our protection system. I go through how the brain learns how to evaluate a sensory experience and I've got 3 interesting links to share. And then I go on a little impassioned plea inspired by a conversation with a friend.

Hello to my lovely super somaticizers of stress. I love you. I am you. So this episode I talk about my getting a rule out for throat cancer, because I've been dealing with this annoying, scary neck pain for over a year. It comes and goes. It's definitely linked to stress. And there was always a fear in the back of my mind that it was something more. Because I had gotten rid of all my other mindbody pain through these techniques but this one has hung around. So I talk about the importance of a "rule out". And also I share an article about the power of perception - https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/eight_reasons_to_distrust_your_own_perceptions Please feel free to reach out to me via instagram @movewithdeb or book a curiosity call at https://calendly.com/paincoachdeb My website is www.debmalkin.com

Dr. Sarno taught that unprocessed emotions, particularly anger and rage were responsible for chronic pain, back pain. Now with Trauma informed care and Polyvagal Theory the conversation has shifted to safety and fear. Underlying it all is this concept of Emotional Awareness. And more important (in my opinion) creating safety with Emotional Experiencing. There's research that shows, the more granular one is in being able to describe their emotions, the better sense of well-being one has. In this episode I discuss the reasons why we want to do this practice and the simple skill of the cognitive-somatic tool I call "I Notice."

This podcast is very very late, because my perfectionist brain hijacked my body. The best news was although it was still happening, I knew WHAT was happening and so I had no feear. It was an invitation, as always, to feel. I invite you to slow down. To start to make room for the subconscious thoughts running roughshod in your mindbody. When we don't make space for feeling, we need the system to protect us and it does just that, by using it's only tools, sensations, physiological experiences. As the saying goes, you got to feel it to heal it. (wish I had actually said that on the podcast).

I'm back at the gym lifting weights and discussing how talking to our brains are like or unlike the Star Trek spaceship viewscreens. I discuss Frequency illusion, also known as the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon, which is a cognitive bias in which, after noticing something for the first time, there is a tendency to notice it more often, leading someone to believe that it has a high frequency (a form of selection bias). This is why it's really helpful to learn how to talk to your brain and fill up your viewscreen.

This week's episode I explore the sensations in my body when I feel the perfectionist urge arise. I'm getting really good at decoding my body talk. I used to think I needed to do everything perfectly. I was raised by a perfectionist, who not so fun for me really did excel at so many things. Me, much less so. But I absorbed so many of those messages. My all or nothing brain is slowly and deliberately rebuilding my faith, love and compassion for my completely perfectly imperfect self and finding lots of healing along the way. All you A students in pain, this is for you

In this episode I touch in briefly about why the brain as a predictive organ will continue to create body pain and muscle inhibition. I walk you through my experiences in doing a stair walking practice and the ways I am leading my mindbody through various internal conversation and the outcomes I'm experiencing. I talk about being out of breath and building strength and surety.
