Ever wondered why your pain/symptom persists despite countless treatments? The missing piece might be simpler than you think. Tanner and Anne reveal how our tendency to disconnect from uncomfortable bodily sensations actually perpetuates pain and symptom cycles rather than resolving them.Through candid stories about tax scares and zip-lining disasters, they illustrate the dramatic difference between being overwhelmed by sensations versus staying present with them. This isn't just theory—brain scans actually show people with chronic pain have decreased activation in areas that sense the body, while experiencing heightened emotional responses. The result? A brain that misinterprets safe signals as dangerous ones.The hosts break down two essential principles for healing through embodiment: gradual exposure to uncomfortable sensations paired with creating safety signals that keep you connected without becoming overwhelmed. This delicate balance allows your nervous system to recalibrate and recognize when you're truly safe.Whether you've been struggling with persistent pain/symptoms for years or just beginning to notice troubling symptoms, this episode offers practical wisdom for creating a healthier relationship with your body's signals.Ready to start your embodiment journey? The hosts provide free resources to begin practicing these techniques today, guiding you toward a life where sensations no longer trigger fear but offer valuable information for your healing path.This podcast is owned by Pain Psychotherapy Canada Inc.

Fawning… it's a hot topic dominating social media. Yet, most do not understand what it truly means or how it impacts our lives. I sat down with Natty Lewis, a performance coach, to unravel this lesser-lmpwm survival mechanism. We also dive deep into understanding fight, flight, and freeze in relation to your nervous system, provide practical tools to help you build emotional regulation, and have an eye-opening conversation about mastering control over your emotions. Let's break it down… Key Points: The Fawn Response Discussion on the survival mechanism: The fawn response Understanding triggers, the nervous system, and automatic responses Practical insights and tools with emotional performance coach Nadi Lewis Human Behavior and Emotional Performance Natty Lewis's background in human behavior, marketing, and performance Personal journey with anxiety and research into neuroscience Insights into human behavior and performance in various fields Nervous System Response: Recognizing Patterns Explanation of fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses Understanding window of tolerance and emotional reactions Common patterns in behavior and self-awareness Managing Fight, Flight, Freeze, and Fawn Distinguishing between good and bad coping mechanisms Recognizing emotions and behavior patterns in response to stimuli Regulation and awareness: Identifying natural behaviors and triggers Emotional Awareness and Control Mechanisms Identifying physical and emotional responses to triggers Differentiating between intentional decisions and automatic responses Strategies for managing emotions: Breathwork, recognition, and sensory engagement Practical Strategies for Emotional Regulation Simple actions: Prioritizing small tasks and physical movement Stress reduction through emotional and mental regulation Importance of self-awareness and understanding personal behavior responses   Practical Tools for Change Awareness & Recognition: Recognize your natural responses when stressed—are you freezing up or over-accommodating?

Sensory Engagement & Movement: Simple actions such as writing tasks down or physically moving can help break out from a state of freeze/fawn. Feedback Utilization: Viewing feedback not as criticism but valuable information for growth.   Insightful Quotes: "Making an intentional decision to care not at all about yourself and only for others is fawning." — Nadi Lewis "If you're feeling uncomfortable before doing something habitual—it's your brain signaling it's time for change." — Danielle Van Call-To-Actions: Reflect on whether you find yourself frequently trying to please everyone else while neglecting your own needs. Experiment with different types of breathwork next time you're feeling overwhelmed by stressors. Start journaling moments where you feel triggered—what was happening?

In this second part of "Reset Before You Lead:  Emotional Awareness in High-Stakes Environments", Mike Lejeune and Andrea Wanerstrand continue their discussion on leadership, emotional intelligence, and building effective teams. They delve into the nuances of productive versus destructive tension, the power of kindness over niceness, and the importance of clarity in communication. Andrea shares insights from her experience at Microsoft, particularly the shift from a "know-it-all" to a "learn-it-all" culture. They explore the transition from transactional to relationship-based selling and the critical role of asking open-ended questions. The conversation culminates in a discussion about balancing empathy and authority, emphasizing the importance of trusting one's intuition and understanding the emotional landscape of team members. Show Notes: Productive vs. destructive tension in leadership. The difference between kindness and niceness. The importance of clear and validated expectations. Transitioning from "to do" to "to think" mentalities. The power of asking open-ended questions. The importance of clarity in communication. Balancing empathy and authority in leadership. Trusting intuition and understanding emotional landscapes. The importance of curiosity in leadership. The 3 categories of evaluation: known fact, educated guess, and assumption.        

Your nervous system might be stuck in a state of high alert, creating very real pain and symptoms even when there's no physical damage. In this second part of our exploration into neuroplastic pain, we reveal the sensitization factors that make chronic symptoms more likely to develop.We break down how chronic nervous system dysregulation—whether you're stuck in states of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn—creates the perfect conditions for neuroplastic symptoms to emerge. High-intensity living patterns like perfectionism, people-pleasing, and excessive worry aren't just personality traits but coping mechanisms that keep your system on constant alert. Conversely, low-intensity patterns of disconnection and isolation sensitize your system through understimulation.Research shows people with histories of childhood adversity or trauma are 2.7 times more likely to develop conditions like chronic widespread pain, fibromyalgia, and IBS. We emphasize it's not about the size of traumatic events but how your unique nervous system responded to them. Even highly sensitive individuals can experience profound effects from events others might consider minor.We also explore two often-overlooked trauma types: sensitization trauma (when developing symptoms becomes traumatic itself) and medical trauma (from negative healthcare experiences). Both perpetuate pain cycles by creating additional layers of nervous system dysregulation.Finally, we discuss how negative beliefs about your body being "broken" or "permanently damaged" increase pain sensitivity. Understanding these factors isn't about assigning blame but creating space for recognition and validation—a crucial first step toward healing.You don't need to match every criterion for your symptoms to be neuroplastic, and your belief that healing is possible can grow over time. By recognizing these patterns and gathering your own evidence, you're already beginning the journey of unlearning chronic pain and reclaiming your life.This podcast is owned by Pain Psychotherapy Canada Inc.

Difficult conversations can feel overwhelming, triggering anxiety, defensiveness, or avoidance. Why does this happen? This episode explores the biology behind conflict, explaining how the brain and nervous system react to confrontation. When emotions take over, we often react impulsively rather than responding with clarity and confidence.The discussion breaks down why we avoid tough conversations, how childhood conditioning shapes our reactions, and why our nervous system triggers stress responses in moments of disagreement. Through a yogic perspective, key principles like Ahimsa (non-violence) and Satya (truthfulness) offer guidance on handling conversations with compassion and clarity.Practical strategies include grounding techniques, breathing exercises, and learning how to pause before reacting. The episode also covers real-life scenarios—like setting boundaries with a friend or addressing workplace conflicts—to illustrate how we can navigate difficult conversations while maintaining emotional balance.If you've ever struggled with tough discussions, this episode provides clear, actionable steps to approach them with confidence and calm.Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:02:00 Why Difficult Conversations Feel So Emotionally Intense00:05:00 The Brain's Fight-or-Flight Response in Conflict00:08:00 Why We Avoid Difficult Conversations00:12:00 The Impact of Childhood Conditioning on Communication00:15:00 A Yogic Perspective: Ahimsa & Satya in Conflict00:18:00 Practical Strategies to Stay Calm and Respond Thoughtfully00:22:00 The Power of Breathwork in Tough Conversations00:25:00 Real-Life Examples: Setting Boundaries & Workplace Conflicts00:28:00 Final Reflections on Emotional Awareness and Growth—-------—-------—-Michael Henri's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelyoga.pt/ Going Pro Yoga's Instagram: https://www.instagram/com/goingproyoga/—-------—-------—-Other Mentions:Ep# 112: The Nervous System and The Polyvagal Theory—-------—-------—Tags: difficult conversations, conflict resolution, emotional intelligence, communication skills, setting boundaries, self-regulation, nervous system, stress response, mindfulness, yoga philosophy, ego vs. authenticity, self-growth, vulnerability, active listening, handling disagreements

How do you know when your chronic pain/symptoms are neuroplastic rather than structural? This question plagues countless people, who often find themselves caught between conflicting medical opinions, inconclusive test results, and treatments that provide only temporary relief.In this enlightening first installment of a two-part series, Tanner Murtaugh and Anne Hampson break down the concrete criteria that help identify neuroplastic pain and symptoms. They share that neuroplastic pain/symptoms occur when your brain and nervous system remain stuck in a state of danger despite no structural damage in your body - and importantly, you don't need to meet all criteria to benefit from a neuroplastic approach.The hosts walk through the first category of evidence: when pain doesn't make physical sense. From symptoms that originate during stressful times to pain that worsens with difficult emotions, from inconsistent symptom patterns to pain that spreads and migrates through the body - these are all powerful clues pointing toward neuroplastic mechanisms. They explain why triggers disconnected from the body (like weather or certain environments), delayed onset pain, and symptoms without injury are particularly telling.Tanner and Anne weave personal experiences throughout, sharing how Tanner's own pain coincided with major life transitions, and how they've observed these patterns across hundreds of clients. They offer reassurance that while identifying neuroplastic components can feel overwhelming, approaching the assessment with curiosity rather than fear is key.This episode provides invaluable guidance if you've tried numerous treatments without lasting improvement or received diagnoses that don't fully explain your symptoms. Listen now to gain clarity and hope as you begin unraveling whether your persistent pain/symptoms might be treatable through neuroplastic approaches.Ready to explore how your brain might be generating your symptoms?

The powerful connection between OCD patterns and chronic pain might be the missing puzzle piece in your healing journey. Tanner and Anne dive deep into how obsessive thinking and compulsive behaviors fuel neuroplastic symptoms, creating a cycle that keeps pain and symptoms alive.You'll discover why that constant symptom checking, endless research, and anxious monitoring actually reinforce your brain's pain circuits rather than solving the problem. With vulnerability and humor, the hosts share their own experiences with OCD tendencies—from Tanner's shoulder-testing ritual to Anne's encounters with health anxiety—and how these patterns operated both before and during their pain experiences.The solution? Cultivating indifference. But don't roll your eyes just yet! This counterintuitive approach isn't about ignoring your pain or pretending it doesn't exist. Instead, it's about starving pain of the attention that keeps it thriving. The hosts offer practical, actionable strategies for breaking free from obsessive patterns: naming your symptoms with silly names, recognizing when your brain is trying to help (but making things worse), and—perhaps most importantly—giving your brain something valuable to focus on besides your symptoms.Whether you've been diagnosed with OCD or simply recognize some of these patterns in your relationship with chronic pain, this episode provides a compassionate roadmap for change. Progress isn't linear, and even small shifts toward indifference represent significant healing. Ready to loosen pain's grip on your attention and reclaim your life?

“Reinvention is a requirement. You will only go as far as you believe you can go.” —Travis Wallace   Reinvention is not a luxury, it's a necessity.  Gone are the days when we can simply coast on past achievements. In a world that constantly evolves, the ability to reinvent ourselves is no longer an option, but a requirement for reaching new heights of success and fulfillment. Failure to do so condemns us to stagnation, while those who dare to reinvent themselves unlock a world of new opportunities and unparalleled growth.  Travis Wallace, known as the "Reinvention Expert," is passionate about helping individuals and athletes alike transform their lives and achieve unprecedented success. With a background in training the world's top athletes, Travis has honed his skills in guiding people through the process of personal and professional reinvention. Tune in as Daniel and Travis dive deep into the art of reinvention, exploring the importance of identity, overcoming ego and pride, and the role of emotional awareness in the transformation process.     Be Inspired! with Daniel:  Website (Makings of a Millionaire Mindset) Website (Daniel Gomez Global) Facebook Facebook Group X Instagram LinkedIn Pinterest YouTube Episode Highlights: 02:00 The First Steps to Reinvention 06:58 Overcoming Identity Barriers 11:52 The Impact of Ego and Pride  27:36 The Impact of Emotional Suppression  33:06 The Importance of Cultivating a Growth Mindset     Connect with Travis:  Travis Wallace believes reinvention isn't optional—it's a requirement. From athlete to elite coach, Travis has lived through the transformative power of reinvention. His mission is simple: help people break free from stagnation, master their minds, body, and identity, and step into their next evolution. What started as a personal journey quickly grew into a mission to help others achieve the same. Travis is the creator of The FR4MULA—a 4-phase process that drives lasting transformation. Through his work in The 100 Day Reinvention and The Reinvention Lab, he teaches clients how to embrace change, develop unshakable confidence, and achieve the kind of growth that lasts a lifetime. Before he was a coach, Travis Wallace was a competitor. As a Division 1 basketball player at the University of North Florida, Travis experienced firsthand the drive, discipline, and mental toughness required to excel. But like many high performers, he faced an identity crisis after his playing days ended. Instead of staying stuck, he chose reinvention. Travis went on to become a personal strength coach for NBA Champion Kyle Lowry, an achievement that reflected his rise to the top of his field. However, even with this career-defining role, Travis realized something deeper: success without growth is empty. That realization marked the start of his ultimate reinvention—not just for himself, but for others.

“Men aren't emotional.” “Men are more logical than their female counterparts.” “Men don't cry.” These are all things you've heard whether they've been directed at you or not. But the reality paints a different story. Men are emotional. But that's not to say that we ought to let ourselves be led by our emotions alone. Dr. Ethan Kross understands this well as a man who researches how we, as humans, both feel and react to those feelings. Today, we talk about how to deal with intrusive thoughts, how to address the dark thoughts we often experience, what it actually means to “control” your emotions, how to become more emotionally fit, and how you can regulate your emotions – even the “negative” ones – so they don't regulate you.
