In this episode, the co-founder of Pelvic Pain Matters, Karl Monahan, introduces us to "Anxious Alistair" - a character representing the anxious inner voice that can amplify pelvic pain symptoms. Monahan shares insights on how to recognise Anxious Alistair, understand his role, and manage his influence through mindfulness and facing fears. This episode provides practical tips for acknowledging and lessening the grip of anxiety during the pelvic pain journey. Key Takeaways: Anxious Alistair is a common inner voice that can worsen pelvic pain through catastrophising and fuelling the pain-anxiety cycle. Recognising Anxious Alistair's presence and not buying into his exaggerated narratives can reduce his power. Practising mindfulness and "feeling the fear and doing it anyway" can help break free from Anxious Alistair's grip. Patience, self-compassion, and understanding the mind-body connection are crucial for managing pelvic pain and anxiety. Featured Topics: The role of anxiety and the inner critic in pelvic pain Strategies for recognising and managing Anxious Alistair Applying mindfulness and exposure therapy to overcome pelvic pain-related fears Understanding the psychology and neuroscience behind pelvic pain conditions Connect with Pelvic Pain Matters: Website: www.pelvicpainmatters.com Instagram: @pelvicpainmatters Facebook: /pelvicpainmatters Email: pelvicpainmatters@gmail.com   #PelvicPainAnxiety #ManagingPelvicPainMindset #OvercomingPelvicPainFears #PelvicPain #pelvicpain #malepelvicpain #cpps #prostatitisrecovery #ChronicPelvicPainMentalHealth
