In this episode of the Dare to Dream podcast, I (Vinny) reflect on my transformative two and a half years living in Japan as I prepare to leave the country. I share my experiences of decluttering life as I pack up, the joy of simplicity, and the emotions tied to saying goodbye to meaningful possessions and friendships. Expect to learn about the unique cultural aspects of Japan, particularly my profound love for the konbini (convenience store), which serve as a vital part of Japanese daily life. I also reminisce about cherished memories with best friends and the immense impact this journey has had on my personal growth. This season culminates with a transformative chapter in Tokyo, what I've called my ‘Phoenix era.' This includes my struggles with chronic pain and how I discovered the mind-body connection that has led to healing. Through therapy and self-reflection, I've learned to embrace vulnerability and honor the full breadth of my emotions. This moment is incredibly bittersweet. But this is the life I've chosen, full of goodbyes, new beginnings, and continual exploration of both the inner and outer worlds.

Inflammation is a natural response by your body to fight off harmful invaders, but when it becomes chronic, it can have serious impacts on your health. In this video, we'll explore the hidden dangers of chronic inflammation, how it might be affecting your body, and simple steps you can take to reduce inflammation and improve your overall well-being.
Are we hypochondria? It looks so after the research on healing back pain, from Dr. John E. Sarno. (His Book: Healing Back Pain. The Mind-Body Connection).When I had broken my disk, scolioses, protruding disks, - regardless which person I asked, the answer was always: “Don't care!”When I had my big back problems …, I went to a physician, and she told me, when she was living as a child on a farm, everybody had to labor very hard to fill up the storehouse, and this caused back pain for a month. After that, the back pain disappeared by itself. This was such an eye opener for me that I didn't care for my back pain anymore because I knew how hard the farmer worked; at 70 years the old farmer, worked very hard the whole day. For instance, the farmer picked up straw bales (20Kg) with the fork and throw them on the wagon (Do this for a whole day…). I had thought before I talked to my Physician that the farmer never had back pain. From this time on I have done very vigorous back exercises that I should not do according to doctors' recommendation. As usual, the orthopedic doctor had been wrong! My back is better than ever before. Dr. Sarno says that these back problems and symptoms are typical, meaning broken disks, scoliosis, protruding discs, and slipped disks have been quite common for centuries, and only fewer people had back pain from these symptoms. Today people are experiencing more pain for the same symptoms, that was not a problem before! Why?The reason is simple, people are focused on their pain and sorrow, and if they have fear, stress, or anger, then this will cause them pain. The cause is not the broken disk or the protruded disk, it is the focus on the problem combined with the suppressed negative feelings. This means the stress or intense emotion will cause the pain in the weakest part of our body if the heart is the most vulnerable organ, then this can cause heart problems for instance! Don't make your problem bigger than it is!Some days after I had read his book: “Healing Back Pain. The Mind-Body Connection” I could not move my back anymore (lumbago). I decided to drive my car to the disco. I could hardly get in the car. And to get out of the car caused me an enormous pain. Then I went dancing, ignoring the pain, and after 20 minutes the pain was gone. In the last 8 years, I haven't had intense back pain again, it only bothers me now sometimes a little bit. Don't focus on your diseases, enjoy your life!Ignoring the pain works much better than focusing only on the back pain in your life. Do exercises even it is painful, dancing, or just shaking the body will work. For sure pain killer doesn't work and makes everything worse.

Join me next Wednesday for Group Hypnosis on Zoom! ► https://adriannehart.gumroad.com/l/ekiga This deep sleep hypnosis session is perfect for bedtime. My voice gently guides you into a dreamy meditation as you contemplate ideas about the conscious and unconscious. Waves of healing relaxation blend into hypnotic suggestions inspired by the work of Dr. John Sarno, letting you know that it is safe to acknowledge emotions and feel better. These gentle suggestions may be all that a person needs to release chronic discomfort. Knowing that physical pain can prevent emotions from breaking through the surface can make it easy to see that some pain has an emotional purpose. Learning that it may be safe to feel certain emotions or at least acknowledge them may convince the subconscious that there is no longer a need for physical pain. Also, recognizing that a person's pain may not be harmful beyond the limitations of discomfort can begin to dissolve fear and make room for more healing. Dr. Sarno was a compassionate medical doctor who refused to overlook the mind-body connection. I am truly grateful for having benefited so much from his writing and lectures.

On this episode of the HIListically Speaking Podcast, nervous system medicine practitioner, Kardin Rabin, shares his own journey through chronic back pain that left this body worker looking for ways to transcend and transform. What he found were synchronicities that not only opened the door of pain to purpose, but lead him on a journey to help himself and others regulate an often dysregulated nervous system. Discover the Secret Language of the Body with actionable steps to help you Heal through Awareness, Interruption and Redesign. And find out how a chance meeting with Bessel van Der Kolk at a coffee shop changed his life. Plus, an offering of tools and support that puts true healing within reach.

I wish I understood this is what I mean when I was struggling with my own chronic pain, when I had my jaw surgery, when I was on the healing journey because, let me tell you, at 15, it was a doozy and every year following that, I just did not have the tools right. And as we get older, we experience more of these snap crackle pops in our body. It happens, it's life right. 00:49 But here's the deal that pain in your body, that trauma that is making you want to run for cover because you don't feel safe. It's actually a signal. It's a signal, it's a call and you're hearing it and yeah, you've done the work. I get it. That's why you check in on this podcast week after week. You've done the work and you're like why am I not healing? Why am I feeling this way? Well, you've come to the right place, because it's all about finding the right support and people that will guide you on that journey, Like my friend, nervous system medicine practitioner, Karden Rabin. What's up, my friend, it is so good to have you here. 01:25 - Karden Rabin (Guest) Hi Hilary. 01:26 - Hilary Russo (Host) We talk so much before we press record and every time we have a conversation it's like I feel like we're just two kids in high school hanging out, chilling and just having a good time, because really, I mean, first of all, we get pretty giddy talking about the nervous system together, so we're totally geeking out. But, there's a reason for it. We're here on this planet to do something to help people, right? 01:49 - Karden Rabin (Guest) Yeah, to just vibe so well with someone who speaks your language and who helps you get it out there. 01:55 - Hilary Russo (Host) Yeah, and you're doing that. You're doing that as co-founder of SOMIA, the HEAL program that you have Now, this new, incredible, unbelievable book that is just paving the way. That's the secret language of the body. Yes, please show that. Regulate your nervous system, heal your body and free your mind. We're going to have a link to that in the podcast notes for all you folks. And look good, golly, miss Molly, I'm so glad you're here because we need you and we need what you're doing. So thanks again for being here. 02:23 - Karden Rabin (Guest) Thanks for having me. 02:24 - Hilary Russo (Host) You have your own story. I think a lot of people like to know what brings you to the kind of work that you do, especially when you're dealing with the nervous system, the brain, the mind, anything like that, or just our body in general. And there's such a good story behind you. And listen those of you turning in. Carter and I haven't known each other forever. In fact, we have a newer friendship. But I love that because you align with people. We met at the Heal the Healer event conference two-day event and I was just like, oh my gosh, he's my people and he's going to be yours too. But I want you to share your story so people truly understand how you got into this work. 03:01 - Karden Rabin (Guest) Yeah, okay, can truly understand how you got into this work. Yeah, okay, can I do it like memento style? Maybe it won't be in like sequential order, but we'll bop around a little bit. Yeah, okay. So I originally thought my story started with my own debilitating chronic back pain, because that is kind of the nice starting place in terms of starting around the age of 22,. I am 39 now. 03:26 I began having bad bouts of low back pain, which was kind of humbling and humiliating for someone who was a very well-trained body worker who was making his living getting other people out of pain, and for the next 10 years or more, maybe more like 12 years I worshipped at the throne of basically structure and function. So if I could just get someone's body aligned the right way and moving the right way, really clean, really perfect, yada, yada, yada either my clients or myself that would solve the pain, because that's how I was taught. That would solve the pain because that's how I was taught. I was taught basically and by the way I'm going to be a real a-hole right here that we're basically some I don't know steampunk robot thing from 1642 that has no brain or software or just some mechanism and as long as it's lubed up and put together rightly, it will work correctly. And it turns out that, although there's some truth to that, it's also bullshit. We're not a mechanism first, we're a nervous system first. We are a human with feelings and emotions and a brain and, moreover and I didn't know this at the time, because this is not what I had been taught the only organ in your body, the only organ in your body responsible for pain at all times, is your brain and your nervous system. That's it. I'll say that again. The only organ in your body at all times that's responsible for whether you have pain or not is your brain and your nervous system. And it makes errors right, like we've all, for example, had something brush our leg and go ow right, and we look down and it was just this, like maybe it was a thorn right, it wasn't a really big deal. There'll be other times where we'll get like burned or something while we're busy doing something and we won't even notice how badly we got burned. We'll see that we have some wound later on, right. Also, people will often be in like athletic events. They'll sprain an ankle. It'll be swollen as heck. They won't even notice it till the evening. The brain is making choices and decisions about pain all the time, and we're going to get a lot more into that, guys. 05:46 But essentially here I was trying to fix things mechanically and functionally for myself and my clients, sometimes being successful and sometimes not. And I went on like this for 10 or 12 years and each time my quote unquote back would go out, I would be bedridden, often for days out. I would be bedridden, often for days. I would have electrical storms of pain in my groin and my abdomen. I would have bilateral shooting pains like ice picks down into my calves, and it was threatening my livelihood, my life. I was no longer wanting to go out and do things, social things. I couldn't go on trips. My entire life started being defined by managing my incessant pain and again, it was not progressing with any of these conventional techniques Osteopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture, body work, you name it. Uh, ayahuasca ceremonies, um and uh. I was. 06:51 This is where we'll go in the kind of memento stuff. I realized that I was marching down the same path towards drugs and surgery that took my mother from me when I was 21. That took my mother from me when I was 21. So my mom had had a back injury in her early 30s and she had gotten a double spinal fusion, which is a type of surgery where they fused L2, l3 and L4 in her back, and but even though she had it repaired, it was still hurting her and the next 20 years of her life was organized around managing this pain. And this was the mid 80s and 90s. And, Hilary, I'll give you three guesses. It begins with O and ends with opioids. What was the standard of care for my mother during that time Opioids. 07:44 - Hilary Russo (Host) Yeah, opioids, I can't even imagine. 07:47 - Karden Rabin (Guest) My mother was prescribed 12 Percocets a day. That'd kill a horse, folks, it'd kill a horse. Yeah, 12 Percocets a day Went from specialist to specialist, surgeon to surgeon and year after year it was just those opioids, opioids. We're not going to go into my trauma and stuff right now, but growing up with a mother who was managing her own pain and was on 12 percocets a day, that I thought was normal. Like didn't everyone's mom just pop a dozen pills a day? Long story short is that a body can't do that forever, and so my mom died at 54 years old, when I was 21, of basically complications of long-term opioid use. Here I was, 12 years later, having done everything in my power by becoming healthy and a body worker and fit to avoid her fate, and I was marching towards it myself. 08:48 - Hilary Russo (Host) Our ancestral trauma. I mean, that's something I'm sure you deal with a lot too in the work that you do. But it's so much about us wanting to stop that ancestral trauma and it's a push-pull theory, right, Like we're saying I'm stopping it now, I'm not getting on that track, and we wind up falling into that if we're not too careful, you know, get the wake up call Well it was also total bypass, right. 09:11 - Karden Rabin (Guest) Yeah, it was no coincidence that my embodied pain, my symptom presentation due to my repression of my stress and trauma and dysregulation presented like my mother's right. So I just want to say here that genes are not everything, folks, when it comes to chronic illness Like yes, they might say you have a congenital or a family predisposition to rheumatoid arthritis or back pain or depression. And it's like yes, and you actually have nervous system modeling from generation to generation to generation. So, like when we talk about nurture versus nature, you know, when a child has chronic pain modeled to him for his entire childhood, then when his symptom presentation comes up, brains are social organs and they're often going to manifest their dysfunction precisely the way they were modeled to. So I got lucky, and the way I got lucky was in the midst of my chronic pain and hypocrisy. I was teaching anatomy and physiology to a yoga teacher training down on long island uh, basically laying on my back with my legs up the wall during every teaching segment because of how much misery I was in. 10:28 And in the home of the owner of the studio there was John Sarno's healing back pain. 10:36 And if your audience has never heard of John Sarno. He was an MD in New York City. He was a pioneer in this field. He really didn't know jack about trauma or modern neuroscience, but he was a great investigator and deductor and what he saw was that he'd have patient after patient come into his office and that the orthopedic and mechanical models or functional models that tried to explain their pain. He was like this is all bullshit and it's inconsistent and what's going on here should not be causing this person's hip or low back to be in such agony, but instead what he consistently saw were personality types, specifically in his case of repression, and type A perfectionism, which led to this consistent presentation of embodied pain. And then he educated his clients about what was going on in their mind body and then sometimes referred them to therapy and they got these miraculous improvements in their pain because this was the guy who said no, what's going on here is with their brain and their emotions, not with some inflammatory response in their low back or herniated disc. 11:51 And so I found, his book found me, and for the first time in five years I had a significant of almost an 80% improvement in my pain from just reading his book. 12:04 - Hilary Russo (Host) Which book was that? 12:06 - Karden Rabin (Guest) This was Healing Back Pain by John Sarno. 12:07 - Hilary Russo (Host) Grab that book, grab your book. 12:09 - Karden Rabin (Guest) Exactly, and even though this thing was book, the first edition of this one was 1991. And again, we've progressed quite a bit from what John was talking about, because he was looking at this stuff with the lens. He was trained in the 30s, but the point is it's still a valuable book. This book saved my life and initiated me into this entire space of helping people heal chronic pain, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, migraines, ibs this constellation, this galaxy of mind-body disorders that have their root in trauma, dysregulated nervous system and something we can talk more about, which is conditioned responses. And I guess there's a lot more to my story. But that's how I got here, hilary. 12:59 - Hilary Russo (Host) We're glad you're here because I feel like everything we go through and a big part of this podcast is the trauma to triumphs right, and if we're using our triumphs well, we're here to share with others how to take care of themselves. You know it's it's. It's like the your, your upset could be somebody else's survival guide. You know what you went through, so it sucks that we have to go through some of this stuff, but we learn from each other, you know. So your story could be someone else's survival guide and is. And then the work that you're doing is continuing to help other people not just survive but live well. 13:36 And I think, going back to what you said just a few minutes ago, learning that you could be doing all the trauma healing in the world. You can be doing everything to get your symptoms in alignment deal with your IBS, deal with your migraines, autoimmune problems but again, why do you want to deal with it? How do you get unstuck? And I think that's something I would like for us to talk about is like, how do you move beyond managing these things and actually find the healing? Because we hear the word manage a lot. Let's befriend it, let's manage it. People are just like I'm freaking tired of feeling the migraine and the pulsating in the back of my head or my stomach being in knots, and I'm eating all the anti-inflammatory foods out. Okay, it's more than that. So how do we take it to the next level? 14:25 - Karden Rabin (Guest) Yes, right, because I like to say that we come to this work to repair but we stay with it to transcend Right. So I think we're using very similar language, right. 14:34 So nervous system trauma very similar language, right. So nervous system distress, trauma, chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation. That's like this. Through line between them, they're sort of what make the soil ripe for symptoms ranging from chronic pain to cfs to uh, to gut issues, to autoimmune issues, um, but, like I said, they make it ripe. 14:57 So if your nervous system is basically in survival mode which is what trauma and chronic stress do to it we're all very familiar with when we're stressed out, when we're at our limit, the way we snap right, we like maybe snap at our kids, snap at our spouse, lose it at work. We're all very clear. Most of us can see our behavioral dysregulation. We might not be able to do something about it, but we see it. I am 100% literal here when I say your immune system, your nervous system, your cellular response is doing the same fucking thing in your body. Okay, so when you're not stressed out and the annoying person comes by, you're able to deal with it, but when you're stressed out, you snap at them. When you're stressed out and dysregulated and gluten comes through your belly, you snap because you can't deal with it, Because the entire system is at that point outside its window of tolerance outside of its capacity to absorb more. So what is basically a benign irritant, again, unless you have celiac. But like gluten, like environmental allergens, like dairy, like all these foods your body has been, by the way, become sensitized to and your own fear is driving it. These symptoms that present themselves largely have to do with your physiology responding in a completely dysregulated and hyperbolic way, in the same way that you're behaviorally responding hyperbolic and dysregulated to relations. There is no difference. Your mind, your body, your relationships and your cellular experience don't differentiate folks. So that's number one. That's the first part of what's driving symptoms, and so learning how to recondition your body, your nervous system, your immune system, your pain response system to have more regulated responses to internal stimuli is a parallel but separate skill set than learning how not to explode at your husband or snap at your kids and regulate in real time, relationally. 17:20 I want to say one other thing is that what tends to happen is conditioned responses. So my low back pain actually began again. The gun was kind of loaded by my mother's modeling. But I started CrossFit when I was 25. And I did it because I wanted to get strong and they and I you know CrossFit's freaking hard. I have this background of. I was a sickly asthmatic child and I ended up using shame and self-criticism in my teens to make myself fit because I was so embarrassed and again ashamed of my own weakness. So fitness was already associated with feelings of shame and pushing so hard and so much self-criticism to drive me forward. Now, at 25, I go into CrossFit. 18:14 They subject me to some ridiculously hard and inappropriate workout of deadlifts right, by the way, but this is what everyone needs to understand. I got an injury doing that, but the injury happened in parallel with a huge amount of shame and fear and pressure. The body learns a conditioned response. You think that what you see is when you go back to deadlift a few months later oh, this hurt my back again. Deadlifts hurt my back. 18:48 Actually, what then happens is that any time your body starts to feel intense feelings of shame or intense feelings of pressure, those emotions became part of the conditioned response that create pain symptom. 19:02 So you're looking at activities, but the special sauce of nervous system dysregulation and getting out of symptoms is to look at what emotional state your nervous system is in when you're experiencing symptoms, because it's that emotional state that's become associated with the symptom. So, instead of Pavlov ringing his bell to make the dog salivate, all those dogs might have to do now is feel shame and they'll salivate. So again, instead of the deadlift, making my low back hurt, a situation of having a lot of deadlines and maybe disappointing my boss, and feeling pressure and shame, holy shit, my back is hurting or my migraine started or my gut issue got worse. So I just threw a lot at you, Hilary. But where I'm getting at is that when we're dysregulated, our internal physiology has the same dysregulated responses inside our system as we have relationally outside our system to other people. And, moreover, chronic symptoms are the result of conditioned responses happening between emotional states and symptoms. 20:12 - Hilary Russo (Host) It's so important for us to know this and I'm glad you went into this. I think you gave a lot of different scenarios and examples If someone's coming to this for the first time and it's like whoa, whoa, whoa information overload. That's why we're here, because your book and I want to get into this again, the book that's been released is the secret language of the body regulate your nervous system, heal your body and free your mind. We're going to actually add that into the listen notes so you can grab it. But also for some of us who have maybe done a little more work maybe we're a little further on and maybe not you might've just heard of another book similar to which is the Body Keeps the Score right. That's Levander Colt's book, who you have a direct relationship with as his body worker, by the way. I mean just working with one of the most famous people that deal with the nervous system and regulation. Can we talk about that a little bit, because I think that's really important, even how that even happened, that synergy right there. 21:10 - Karden Rabin (Guest) Yeah. So, similarly to how I said, I got really fortunate, really blessed, really lucky to stumble into John Sarno's book right when I was on the precipice of having surgery. That book threw me into learning so much more about the mind, about the body, which took me into repressed emotions, which then eventually took me into trauma and somatic experiencing. Into trauma and somatic experiencing, I start exploring this world of basically how stress and trauma create physiological issues and, of course, I eventually stumble into Bessel's book. I keep all of these really close by. 21:46 - Hilary Russo (Host) Yeah, you got like a library sitting right next to you. 21:49 - Karden Rabin (Guest) Right there, right there. They're all always here. And so Bessel's book is remarkable, because if you've read it, it has that gift of you being like, oh my God, this explains my suffering. 22:01 - Hilary Russo (Host) This is me right. 22:02 - Karden Rabin (Guest) This is me. I see now how my trauma, or my neglect, has created this and that and the science that he brings into it, the understanding that he brings into it into it. The understanding that he brings into it. And he also goes on further to show how, for example, people who have experienced traumas that their own immune system has higher markers for autoimmune processes, right Like trauma has caused that immune system to attack its own body more often. 22:35 It's like it's stitched or connected so many dots and there's something beautiful and special when a book makes you feel seen, and so I read his book and it's part of this collection of books that I'd say Bessel, Peter Levine, who wrote Waking the Tiger, and he's the founder of Somatic Experiencing, Gabor Mate when the Body, body says no, and many other ways. That's stitching together this science and art of what's going on here, of how so many of us are sick from trauma, nervous system dysregulation and then Hilary. It had to be less than six weeks after reading his book. I'm sitting in my local coffee shop, Six Depot, here in West Stockbridge. 23:16 I live in the Berkshires shout out yeah, holla, right, go get some cold brew and this dude walks in and I don't know what made me look up or glance at him or hear his voice and I was like, did Bessel van der Kolk just walk into my coffee shop? And I never do this? And I was so embarrassed but I, like, I went up and fan boyed right and I was like, um, I simply said, you know, Hi. Are you Bessel van der Kolk? And he goes, yes, and I go. Well, I just needed to tell you I recently read your book and it was revelatory and I'm just so grateful to you and for your work. And, uh, you, you know, thank you, and he goes. Oh well, you know, thank you for letting me know. I'm really glad about that. And his wife is next to him and she goes who are you? 24:05 And I go. Oh, I'm Karden and I'm a body worker and I have a clinic here in town and she goes. Well, we've just recently relocated out here to the Berkshires. We've been looking for a new body worker here because they had moved from Boston and I know like what Just happened. 24:26 - Hilary Russo (Host) And. 24:27 - Karden Rabin (Guest) I know what it was like, what just happened, who orchestrated this? Am I about to get punked or something Right? And you know, the rest is history. Within a couple weeks they came into the clinic, we hit it off and we're dear friends. I've been seeing Bessel now as a client for five, six years and he's obviously become a dear mentor and he was instrumental in supporting me during the process of writing the Secret Language of the Body and that's how Bessel and I know each other. But also the reason why Bessel was so supportive of this book is that he wrote a book called the Body Keeps the Score that this process of healing trauma, of healing chronic stress, of healing nervous system disorders absolutely requires a nonverbal approach through the unspoken language of the body. And that's why our book is called the Secret Language of the Body. 25:33 Because if you're like, wait, did Karden just say that my emotional state has to do with my low back pain or my migraines or my IBS? What the hell is he talking about? It's like that fish who's in water. You ask a fish how's the water Like? What are you talking about? Right, they don't know they're in water. 25:48 It takes training to get out of your head, out of your endless cognitive loop and actually tune in to the sensations, emotions, experience and information that come from your autonomic nervous system in your body. And that's what we teach people. We teach people to become aware of this universe of activity going on just below their chin. And, as you can become aware of that secret language, it's like being able to. It's like people are speaking Italian around me. Oh my God, I can't believe people are speaking Italian around me. And then, once you can speak it, once you can start hearing it, you're like oh my God, I just learned a couple words of Italian. Now I can ask where the bathroom is, right. Or now I can say you know what's your name, right, right. Or now I can say you know what's your name, right. You can actually start navigating a foreign country when you have the language. Well, you can start navigating, influencing and mastering the foreign language of your body once you start speaking it I love how you put that. 26:48 - Hilary Russo (Host) That is such a brilliant way of thinking about it that it's it's like, um, emerging into the culture, right. So emerge into the culture of your own body. Emerge into the culture of your own body, right. Learn the language of your body. That's brilliant. That's a really great way of putting it. How does this book differ from Bessel's book? Because Bessel's book is not very layman, it's very scientific and it is such a good book. But how is yours different some years later? But how is yours? 27:15 - Karden Rabin (Guest) different some years later. Bessel's book is extraordinarily, like I said, relevatory. And then he does review five very powerful treatment approaches that you can try to do with a therapist, like EMDR, internal family systems, neurofeedback. But ultimately the book is not a manual on how you can begin healing yourself. It has changed the course of the world, and again it then refers you to things you could do. 27:47 But for those who want to read that book and like me and probably like you, Hilary, like, instantly hit it, like, how do I start healing this now? Right, that's what our book does. So our book has almost 100 practices in it and the entire manuscript is organized around a process that we call AIR, and the AIR approach stands for awareness, interruption and redesign. Right, you have to become aware of the conversation that's happening in your body. Right, that's the first thing. If you can't hear it, if you don't even know Italian is being spoken around you, you're SOL. All right, now you're listening. Right, but how do you influence? Well, you have to be able to start speaking it and you have to start interrupting it, because your body is a pattern recognition and habit repetition. Pattern recognition and habit repetition machine. It does not change by itself, it just repeats its old, tried and true patterns, even if those patterns are destroying your life and your health. So you have to learn how to interrupt and go. Yo, shut up. You must stop doing this for a minute. Can we have a conversation, please? 29:06 And so our book starts with letting you hear the language. That's number one. Number two is a whole variety of techniques, from top-down cognitive behavioral techniques to bottom-up polyvagal techniques that allow you to interrupt the dysregulated conversation. And then the redesign component is basically even trauma, as sacred and meaningful as it is, is a constellation of shitty habits built on trying to help you survive, and you have to redesign those habits. And so that's the third step is redesign to create new neural pathways, new responses, and so that's the big difference between the body keeps the score and the secret language of the body. The body keeps the score, blows your mind with like the world is round, right, and then the secret language of the body says and this is how you build a sailboat and how to navigate it. 30:01 - Hilary Russo (Host) I love it and the fact that there are so many different approaches and techniques that you're sharing. And look, before I came into the work of Hhavening 30:09 techniques, I had no idea what it was. I'm like what is this Hhavening thing? It's learning about something new. See if it works for you. There might be 100 ideas in there of what you can do, but choose what works for you. It doesn't mean you have to implement 100 of them. Find the ones that work for you, cherry, pick and choose what works for you, because it's all bio individuality. So, again, we're going to share that book. We'll share them all. 30:33 But I really want to focus on your book because it's now, it's present, it's current, it's new, and with new thoughts come new possibilities, and that's the secret language of the body Regulate your nervous system, heal your body, free your mind. And if you think that this episode will touch, move and inspire somebody and someone's like oh my gosh, not only am I going through this, somebody else is, pay this forward, pass this conversation along, leave a rating review. It lets people know that this episode exists. With Karden, we're going to certainly have more conversations. I do not doubt that Karden and also you are giving away the first module of your online nervous system program HEAL, for free. Hello people, Grab it now. 31:18 That's all I'm saying Grab it now. Is HEAL, an acronym. 31:21 - Karden Rabin (Guest) No, heal's not an acronym. It's what we want to do. We want to heal folks and you know I wanted to call it CURE. We ended up calling it HEAL. But as you said at the beginning of this program, Hilary, jen and I, we do not have a program built on managing symptoms F that we do not have a program built on managing symptoms f that we have a program built on healing symptoms like gone, bring it, I'm serious bring it like gone, so and that, when and that if and when, because part of healing especially when your nervous system's regulation is not like always being perfect, right, that's not how life works. 31:57 But if you do have a dip and you do like, oh, my low back's coming down or my belly's coming back a little bit, you know exactly what to do. You know exactly why you take that sacred symptom, as we often call it, because it's a messenger saying up, up, up, up up. You are moving into that dysregulated zone again. Maybe you've made some life choices that aren't quite right, maybe survival parts of yourself from the past have reestablished control and the progress you made has been diminished. So your symptoms, not only do they mostly go, they go away, but when they do arise, they are this powerful signal that says, oh course, correct, we're doing the things that we're not supposed to do for ourselves. So yeah, and so it's called Heal Foundations. You can go to somiainternational dot com. That's one place you can find Heal Foundations, also at Karden Rabin, following me on Instagram and going to my link tree. 32:54 - Hilary Russo (Host) That's where all? 32:54 - Karden Rabin (Guest) the good stuff is, but you can learn how to dive right into this immediately. 32:59 - Hilary Russo (Host) We're going to share all of that in the list notes of the podcast because people need to know that they can get the book, they can get the programs, they get the free, free, that course, the first part of the course, just so they can see if this is right for them. Right, but I mean, giving it a shot is better than not doing it at all, right, so we're going to share all of that. I'm curious. Amen, amen to that. So, mia, speaking Italian, the moment you were talking about learning about a different language in the body, it brought me back to when I first asked you how do you say the name of your course? 33:34 - Karden Rabin (Guest) And you're like, so me like the Italian word, so Mia yeah, like it makes me wanna go into into the song. 33:40 So can we talk about that for a minute, cause we haven't even touched on that yet of the impact of the course, of the HEAL program, and SOMIA is what holds it all together. And SOMIA is an international nervous system and somatics platform that is designed to teach anyone how to master, to really understand, to become intimately connected, to influence and transform their own mind, body and nervous system, and not just through a collection of practices but through a profound understanding and application of principle. Because mastery isn't monkey see monkey do. Mastery isn't just being really good at the vagus techniques or really good at the internal family systems or parts work process. It's beyond that. It's understanding how the system works so that you are so kind of intimately aware that you're like, oh, I'm gonna, I know what. I, I need this right now. Like you were saying, Hilary, I don't need a hundred techniques, this is the one that's appropriate right now. So that''s what Somia exists for to educate the world about through the means of the course and our other offerings. 35:07 And then SOMIA community is called the Healing Collective. 35:11 So inside the course itself we have these absolutely wonderful mentors, and all of our mentors came to our program, came to work with Jen and I when they were bed bound with illness, with a symptom list that was terrifyingly long, from CFS to post-viral syndromes, to ectopic heartbeats, to mast cell activation system. 35:37 These folks were in dire straits and they used nervous system regulation in our program to get their lives back. And, as you know, Hilary, often when you've found something that transforms your life to such a degree, it becomes your calling to pay it forward right, and so our healing collective is held by those mentors, and we have online forums of fellow self healers who are on the path just like you. There are Q&As with the mentors that help you each step of the way through the healing process, through the practices, through mastering the understanding of how you work, and then, of course, jen and I are present as well. So Mia really does want to bring more people together in real life to do this healing process part of your collective and it's not about one collective, it's about the Odyssey right. 36:51 - Hilary Russo (Host) The Odyssey it is, and I love everything that you're doing. I really feel that you're. This journey and everything that you've been through and you know this, I don't need to tell you this, but it feels good to say it is that everything you've been through has brought you to where you are, so that you can serve others. And the more we can do for ourselves, the more we can help others on their journey. And one other thing you need to have a podcast, and if you don't do a podcast, you need to at least do voiceovers with that voice. I know you've been told that before. 37:18 - Karden Rabin (Guest) I do. You're stroking my ego with my sisters and my wife would please ask you not to do. The audio book is read by me and Jen, so I read the narrative and the explanatory parts and then Jen reads the practices. It's a really nice duet of I guess baritone and soprano. 37:37 So that's my first foray, so I'll get to podcasting another time, but I was actually just really thinking about your expression, that from trauma to triumph, and so something that I really want to offer for you and all your listeners is that if we move past the nervous system for a second and start simply with the idea of energy, chi, or a term that I like, which is called life force, most folks know now and I hope, if they don't hear this from me that all of your survival patterns, all of your coping responses, all of your trauma responses, are extraordinary efforts by your mind and body, by your nervous system, by your life force to protect you and keep you alive. And it's wildly powerful, like if for a moment you didn't criticize your trauma response and just looked how potent it was. Like, holy shit, look at all of this energy that mobilizes to protect me. You know like it's so powerful it could light up a city. You know, and it feels that way sometimes in your body. Yet when it is stuck, when it's patterned and habitualized by trauma into survival, it is life force that's trapped in a very dark and unhelpful place. And the beauty of this work is that, as you recognize it and you're able to liberate that life force that's in the trauma response and then redesign it, that same volcano of energy that's been deploying for your entire life to keep you protected, safe and surviving. You get to reclaim that life force for triumph, for living, for creativity, for fucking crushing it at life. 39:51 I'm 100% serious about this, that the greatest victory of my healing journey has not been getting out of pain although that's been fucking dope not to be in pain. Dope not to be in pain. It's been the reabsorption and feeling of how vital and bright I can be, how amazing my body can feel, how much love I can feel right, how much joy I can feel. And I just want to. I just want to repeat that, guys, when we say from trauma to triumph, it is about taking that life force and reabsorbing it into beautiful, amazing, profound and delicious aspects of being alive, rather than just surviving. And it's there in you already. It's just doing things that aren't helpful anymore and it's really amazing to transform it. It's already there. 40:45 - Hilary Russo (Host) And it's possible, it's more than possible. You listen to this episode and suddenly you were going to. It could be the click in your head that you needed to know, oh, almost like when you picked up Bessel's book or John Sonnero's book or any, or somebody's going to pick up your book. It could be that one little aha that you've been waiting for. And don't ignore those signs. That's the thing. It's like. Our body knows, our gut, that whole force inside us knows it. Sometimes it's just we need to catch up with it a little bit. Right inside us knows it. Sometimes it's just we need to catch up with it a little bit right and be like was that was? 41:22 that eagle that you know, like the eagle story that you shared before. Like is this eagle telling me a whole thing about this building that I'm working in? And it was a different message that you got and we talked about that trauma to triumph, trauma to triumph like triumph, trauma to triumph. 41:37 My friends, you explained it so and it's so lovely to have you share it that way and use everything you're doing to kind of well not kind of to actually be in alignment with what this podcast is about but also just the conversation as friends, like I get it and I love it, and I love that we're sharing it. So, once again, we will share everything about the book. We're going to share that course, that free introduction to the course. You know more about SOMIA now and HEAL and everything that Karden is putting out there. Real quick, I do want to ask you one question and then we're going to play a little game real quick. How did you and Jen come? 42:13 - Karden Rabin (Guest) together. That life is a combination of being at cause and also, if not, trusting, listening to the universe, right? David Goggins is an example of an invincible man at cause, right, which is amazing, but it's a huge amount of work and it's all on you. It's a hard way to live, right? So when I say at cause, we do have to do work, folks, we have to develop ourselves, we have to seize opportunities. When they're there, we can't expect that things fall in our lap, but we also, if, like, things are really in our way making it so hard, maybe there's something to listen there. And also, when things are put into us in a silver platter, maybe there's something to listen there. 42:59 So, although I have done so much work to learn about trauma and somatics and healing the nervous system, it all started in the most random way of John Sarno's book Finding Me on my friend's bookshelf the studio owner's bookshelf, right. So I just want to illustrate that I love the blend of our own efforts moving us forward, but also so beautifully capturing the moments of good fortune of COVID, right, because COVID hit in like March of 2020. Some of you might remember, some of you may have never heard of it For about like six months a hot minute this social media app called Clubhouse took off. 43:53 - Hilary Russo (Host) Oh God, what happened to Clubhouse People still? 43:54 - Karden Rabin (Guest) have it Right, like why do you even have an account? Yeah, we're not getting to why it failed, but when it was busting it was Boston. Yeah yeah um, a friend of mine for weeks insisted Karden, you got to get on clubhouse, you got to get on clubhouse and I told him to f off. Over and over and again I was like I don't have the bandwidth to take on another social media platform. I don't even like being on the one I am and he's like no, you got to do it and like you, you know, Hilary, he's like Karden . 44:19 I would pay to make you stop talking, but people love hearing you talk. You need to get on that thing. You're best talking. And I was like, ah fine, so anyway I get on Clubhouse and I end up loving it, I end up loving it. 44:35 Colleague and teacher, charlie Merrill, who's a brilliant physical therapist in this neuroplastic pain space, like of solving pain through the brain, because that's where it's actually caused by he's great Guys. You should look up Charlie Merrill and follow him on Instagram. He and I ran a show on Clubhouse Weekly called Ask the Pain Guys For the short-lived Clubhouse Ask the Pain Guys For the short-lived clubhouse For the short-lived clubhouse. And it was. We loved it. Right, people would come into the clubhouse and we would talk about neuroplastic pain, about conditioned responses, about how the brain's responsible for pain, and we would have people would be able to come on stage and ask questions about how to deal with X, y and Z injury or pain process. And it was great. 45:26 And during this time, jen, who you know, we knew nothing of one another. 45:28 She was in London recovering from a year and a half of being horribly sick and bed bound with chronic fatigue syndrome, pots, mass cell activation syndrome, mitochondrial dysfunction like the entire menu of catastrophic nervous system dysregulation and collapse. 45:48 And she had made about. She was in the midst of healing through various nervous system techniques and she, that same day that I was running the show with charlie, she downloaded the app, hopped on for the first time ever, stumbled into the room of ask the pain guys, listened to our conversation, asked a question. We had a little good exchange on Clubhouse. She signed off, never went back on Clubhouse again, but she sent me a DM through Instagram to follow up on the conversation in Clubhouse and then we hit it off on Instagram. She became a client and then she became my friend and my colleague and my partner and we, this entire movement of Somia, of the HEAL program, of the thousands of people that we've helped, of the secret language of the body. None of this would have happened ever if she and I hadn't collided when we should have never, ever collided in a million years for 30 minutes on Clubhouse. 47:06 - Hilary Russo (Host) That's crazy, so we have to really say thanks to Clubhouse. It's like being in a bad relationship and you're like, oh, I don't know why that happened. And then you're like, oh wait, that led me to this right. 47:18 - Karden Rabin (Guest) Exactly Clubhouse. That was the bad relationship that led me to this right. Exactly. Clubhouse, that was the bad relationship Exactly and COVID. 47:23 Thanks for locking us all in home for a year and a half, so that we had to be on this app because we had nothing else to do, right? So, yeah, that's how Jen and I met and we are clearly long-lost siblings. But yeah, that's the magic of that, that's what I'm saying. And then to seize it, to then do it, to go for it once it was there. But, once again, success is a mysterious thing, isn't it? 47:53 - Hilary Russo (Host) I love that you share that story. It's so inspiring. I mean, especially when you told me that you wrote the book in 100 days. You know, as someone who's sitting here finishing my book and submitting my proposals and stuff, I'm like, oh God, a book is supposed to take me years and I'm a writer, right. But it's all the synergy, it's all the alignment and things, just just trusting that everything will work out, not just writing a book, but just the people that come into your life, the situations. You have, a lot of synergies that have happened in your life and we can manifest to the day as long. Right, Manifesting is great, but I think a lot of it is just releasing, letting go, surrendering, trusting, but also like having a clear idea of like I know I'm here for something more. I know I'm here for something. This shit did not happen for no reason. I say that all the time. I'm like those days when you're in the shit, you're like it's gotta be for something, Gotta be for something it really does. 48:49 - Karden Rabin (Guest) It really does and I invite you know if you're alive, it means that you also have diamonds in your life, and what that means. And what that means and what I think can be a really nice practice is to to maybe close your eyes. Or, the next time you're in a shower, close your eyes and think about every wildly improbable instance that has led you to where you are, where you are still alive or you're in like. Despite all this hardship, you have this remarkable partner right or a job, and what I want you to look at is those improbable moments of like yeah that wouldn't have happened if I hadn't gone to the coffee shop at that fucking moment of that day. 49:42 Well, in my instance, bessel van der Kolk, freaking, wandered in right. But we all have these moments. Hilary, can you think of the ones you have? Like just the countless like you and I bumping into each other at Joshua's right, like just that how sweet of a thing, you know. And when you start looking at that, like how sweet of a thing, you know, and when you start looking at that there is a kind of haven that wraps itself around your body and your skin. You almost get goosebumps in a good way, where you're like, holy shit, these diamonds. None of them quote unquote should have happened. None of them happened because I made them happen. They happened because life stumbled them into me. 50:25 - Hilary Russo (Host) Oh God, we are so in alignment. I say that all the time. I don't say that, I say that life is a falling into. We fall into these moments. I love that you say that because it's just. It's amazing how things happen and sometimes we can't explain and we don't need to have answers. Sometimes, not having the actual answer or proof positive is the answer. The answer is just be happy that it's happening right. 50:54 - Karden Rabin (Guest) Just be happy. 50:57 - Hilary Russo (Host) I mean, I think about that event that we did Heal the Healer and I know you and I have done many events other than that, but that event was really something special and I do want to give a shout out to Joshua Rosenthal for that, because whether you went through IIN or not, which is the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, you know each other somehow, whether you live in the shires, as you call it. I love that, which I'm looking for real estate, like tomorrow. There's something about that event that just brought a lot of people together and so much synergy with folks, because we're all on a healing journey forever. You know, we're always looking to better ourselves and and just feel better and be better. 51:36 - Karden Rabin (Guest) That event was was one of those moments, I have to say, for me it really was and and like, like that whole audience was in cindy, like it was so nice to just walk into a place where you're like these are my people, that's what we're here for, everyone wanting to make a contribution, everyone being thirsty for learning more about this. 51:55 And I'd also say, the kind of quantum leap of none of this trauma stuff was really really being talking about what two or even four years ago Right, but it's definitely not five or 10 years ago or this is just the next wave, and I get that and I hear it and there's a lot of bullshit out there the velocity with which this knowledge is circulating and that people are incorporating the nervous system and trauma component into their overall health picture, to add it to the Venn diagram or really, as I like to think about it, it is the background to the entire diagram, like food, fitness, all these other things. They float on top of the nervous system. So it's like let's start dealing with that. It was just so great to see it all clicking so well there, and so I applaud Joshua for putting that together for having us and for just being a leader in the space. 52:52 - Hilary Russo (Host) Yeah, he definitely is that pioneer in that space and it's one of those things that brings people together. So we could talk for hours and I imagine we're going to have many more conversations, but for the benefit of your time and mine and those who are like all right, I need to park my car. I keep going in circles wanting to. I have so many people that say that they're like. 53:14 - Karden Rabin (Guest) I hope they're doing that, or they're like Jesus. Will this, will this guy stop? 53:19 - Hilary Russo (Host) Oh no, I do not think that's it. I've had people that are like I actually took the long way to work because I was listening to the podcast. So those are those moments. I love that. So what I want to do with you real quick is play a game. I do this with those on the show on the show, so loosen yourself up. I'm going to throw out a word and some of these words well, all these words are those words that you've said during our conversation. 53:42 - Karden Rabin (Guest) We're not going to do like a rap battle, are we? 53:44 - Hilary Russo (Host) We're going to do a rapid fire word association. 53:48 - Karden Rabin (Guest) I can already feel my freeze response starting, so let's try it. 53:55 - Hilary Russo (Host) I know a book you can read that might help you with that. All right, here we go. Here we go, all right. 54:03 - Karden Rabin (Guest) Biohack. 54:06 - Hilary Russo (Host) Lotus. 54:08 - Karden Rabin (Guest) Vegas. 54:10 - Hilary Russo (Host) Helpful. 54:12 - Karden Rabin (Guest) Somatic. 54:15 - Hilary Russo (Host) Everything so me, yeah, pasta, everything so me pasta. 54:25 - Karden Rabin (Guest) I'm sorry had to uh traumatic, healable emotional always two words nervous system everywhere author Two words nervous system. 54:43 - Hilary Russo (Host) Everywhere. Author Me yeah, you and heal. 54:47 - Karden Rabin (Guest) Now. 54:50 - Hilary Russo (Host) You're like a little kid, You're like that's me. 54:57 - Karden Rabin (Guest) My identity has not caught up to the fact that I wrote a book. 55:01 - Hilary Russo (Host) Not just wrote a book. Like wrote a book, that's really doing well. That's true, that's true, yeah, and you have a huge publisher behind you. You know not that you have to. Don't want to discourage people that might not have publishers, or self-published, because putting a book out there and putting your knowledge out there is amazing. But let's just give credit where credit is due. 55:24 - Karden Rabin (Guest) I'm going to age myself. I appreciate that I'm going to age myself, though, so I got interviewed by the BBC a week or so ago about the book and it was a guy named Gavin. 55:36 Uh, Ggavin Ramjaun had me on, you know, and he and he starts the interview out by like, he's like we've got a nervous system medicine practitioner, Karden Rabin, here, but that's like how does it feel to be flying up the book charts, right? And I was like, ah, I feel like I'm on like some Casey Kasem interview, you know, with the top 100, you know and I was like hallucinating. 55:57 I'm like, is this my life? Is this, like you know? And so, yeah, you know, the book cracked the. The book has been released in the UK and it comes out in the United States a couple weeks later, so there's a slight difference. So we cracked the UK Amazon top 100 for all books. So that means like we're up against war and peace and the Hunger Games and the Hungry, hungry Caterpillar and that was really awesome. But yeah, like I said, I you're right, I've written this book, but like I still don't, I still haven't caught up to the fact that I've written it. 56:27 - Hilary Russo (Host) Yeah, I think that's just you staying empathetic and compassionate and being the true person you are, like you can be a best selling author. And being the true person you are, like you can be a best-selling author, an Academy Award winning actor, you know whatever. Like give someone a title, that's fine, but when the day is done, you come into this earth naked and you leave it naked, so-. 56:46 - Karden Rabin (Guest) You sure do. 56:47 - Hilary Russo (Host) Right. So it's appreciating every day. 56:50 - Karden Rabin (Guest) If your people are wondering, like whether this is me now, this is me in the course this is me now. 57:02 - Hilary Russo (Host) This is me in the course. This is me. If you're in a live thing, I don't really shape, shift too much. I'm this guy, I love that. I love that. So is it just a course, or do you? 57:07 - Karden Rabin (Guest) still take clients one-on-one, I mean, besides Bessel, right, right. So my private practice is currently closed to new clients. I do not have an open one-to-one practice at this time. Closed to new clients. I do not have an open one-to-one practice at this time. What we do do is we're continuing to train more and more mentors to be able to support the student body, and then the course is taught in one of two ways. 57:27 There's the self-study version, which is what most people do and it's what you have to start with. But the self-study version, again, is supported by that healing collective. And then Jen and I, a couple times a year, will run 12-week intensives where for those who have completed the HEAL program, it's an intimate group and it's live with Jen and I every week for 12 weeks. It's such a remarkable experience. Oh, I imagine it's remarkable because of what being in relationship does folks Like? If you know anything about trauma healing or the polyvagal system, that human connection, the ventral, vagal response, being in community as human mammals we find safeties in others. We can make so much progress healing on our own, but when we become a pod and when we're swimming in the same direction, 90% of the healing that happens in that happens because of the absolutely beautiful and authentic sharing, vulnerability and triumph of the fellow participants, and Jen and I just have to literally support and scaffold the unfolding of that process and it just blows my mind every time. 58:50 - Hilary Russo (Host) I love it. I am so excited to share this because I can think of a handful of people well, handful. I can think of way more than that that would benefit from this, but people who are close to me that I know would benefit from it. Quite frankly, I'm curious. 59:04 - Karden Rabin (Guest) Hey, you might have to join us for that party. Hill yeah Right. 59:08 - Hilary Russo (Host) I love it. I love everything about it. Thank you so much for being here, sharing your gift, sharing just the knowledge you have, but just your own story, because it is going to help somebody else many people, I imagine. But do you have any final thoughts you'd like to share with those tuning in? 59:24 - Karden Rabin (Guest) I feel like you've had a lot of them, but Well, we went back to you know when the word game. I warmed up as we went through. 59:31 - Hilary Russo (Host) I want to say two things, I think. 59:33 - Karden Rabin (Guest) When you said biohack, I said lotus, we're gonna, we're gonna delete that. Because when you said biohack, what I really wanted to say was, um, and the reason why I wanted to say is that we do not heal ourselves through a collection of biohacks. Remember what I said earlier, that you know, mastery is a profound understanding and application of principles. And if we bring it back to the language analogy of speaking Italian, you can think of biohacks as, like you know about like nine or 10 phrases, and they can be really useful. Where's the bathroom? How do I get to the piazza? You know my name, is what's your name and my age, and with like with 10 or so biohacks or pieces of language, you can, you can, you're doing okay, right, you can correct things, you can get around. But it is a thousand miles away from true fluency and I would really invite your listeners to take that into heart, that the goal is exquisite, intimate, painful, transcendent, triumphant fluency with your humanity, with your being, with your nervous system, with your history, with your emotions, with all of it, and through that fluency you can understand it with a huge amount of empathy. But then you can also begin to lead it, you can carry the conversation, you can direct it, you can run for office, you can start a business right, like what you're capable of. When you can speak instead of just say a couple phrases. It's the biggest difference in the world. 01:01:20 So stop looking for just more practices. Folks. Find folks like Hilary and I and the other people who are teaching you how to see the forest, not just the trees right, that's the kind of training that you're looking for. And the last thing I think you said in that lightning round was now right. That's the kind of training that you're looking for. And the last thing I think you said in that lightning round was now right. You said heal and I said now, like, timing comes for all of us, but if you can just remember, I said it was a combination of being at cause and having the universe stumble into you. Like, right now, something might be stumbling into you and my invitation for you is to say yes and try it and do it. 01:02:02 - Hilary Russo (Host) Yes, Standing in the tension of that moment is like right before the change happens. You know you're like you're, you're aware you're in the A. It's the awareness. If you weren't aware you'd'd be. Like hands are flailing and you're doing whatever right. You're in it, you feel it, it's happening. 01:02:21 - Karden Rabin (Guest) That's had I not gone up had I not fanboyed on vessel van right. So again the universe brought it into me. You best will walk into the cafe. But had I given into my fear and my embarrassment and not fanboy, I would not have one of the most important relationships in my entire life. Oh, I felt that so say yes, y'all, like in those moments when the universe has has thrown you an easy pass. Fucking catch it and run with it. 01:02:55 - Hilary Russo (Host) Yeah, get out of the ego way, that fear of being rejected. It's really what it is. 01:03:01 - Karden Rabin (Guest) It's so much easier than working hard for everything all the time. 01:03:04 - Hilary Russo (Host) Right, I don't have to work for a living. 01:03:09 - Karden Rabin (Guest) So those are my final thoughts, Hilary, and next time we talk, I think it would be fun to talk about, instead of recovering from pain. It'd be really cool to maybe talk about relationships, because that's, I think, another massive space. Oh, I'm all over it. 01:03:23 - Hilary Russo (Host) All right yeah. 01:03:24 - Karden Rabin (Guest) We'll do that next time, all right so? 01:03:27 - Hilary Russo (Host) On that note, thank you so much for saying yes to this conversation and the many conversations we've had just in a short amount of time, because I'm just glad you said yes conversation, and the many conversations we've had just in a short amount of time because, uh, I'm just glad you said yes. I'm just gonna leave it at that. I'm going to close on that. Now, that is how you close a conversation. You have been handed a huge gift by Karden, so I do not want you to waste a moment. Take advantage of it as soon as possible. I've not only shared how you can connect with him, I'm also sharing a few special links so that you can take advantage of Heal program and offer from me to you. Just for tuning in to the HIListically Speaking podcast, you can even tell him that Hilary sent you plus grab a copy of that book. Do not waste any time. 01:04:21 The Secret Language of the Body. Regulate your nervous system, heal your body, free your mind. All of that is in the listen notes of this episode. You're also going to find information on how to connect with me and learn more about how you can put healing in your own hands with Hhavening techniques Because, like I said, like we talked about during this conversation. It's about finding what works for you. You have lots of options, loads of possibilities and plenty of support. If this conversation touched, moved and inspired you in any way, consider paying it forward. Pass it along to somebody else who might find value in it and listen, share your thoughts in a rating or review, wherever you're tuning in, because that conversation and those thoughts, those thoughtful responses will help others find this episode and heal hHolistically. 01:05:12 HIListically Speaking is edited by 2Market Media, with music by Lipone Redding and supported by you. So thank you. On that note, just a reminder that these traumas in our lives, there are triumphs just

Akshay shares his upbringing in India, where he was immersed in yoga and mantra chanting from a young age, studying at a Gurukula, a traditional monastery school. He describes the rigorous yoga practices, discipline, and mental strength instilled through these ancient traditions.

In this interview, Robert shares his story of recovering from chronic symptoms that were so bad he could barely eat anything and even used a wheel chair at times. In the last half we discuss how he sees TMS through the lens of the fear being a deceiver. He also wrote a couple books and has created a website. (see below) Enjoy! Here is his bio. I was never officially diagnosed, but several doctors and healthcare professionals thought I had Crohn's disease or Ankylosing Spondylitis. I was ill to some extent for about 9 years, of which 15 months were extremely acute. One functional medicine doctor told me I was ‘the worst autoimmune patient' he had ever seen. I needed a wheelchair to travel more than 200 feet. I had terrible back pain and reacted so badly to all food and drink except mushrooms, cucumbers, cabbage juice and almond milk that for 4 months I only consumed 900-1100 calories per day. I tried every alternative medicine remedy I could think of (including various herbs and supplements), but nothing worked. In the end, I decided I had to recover. I prayed to Christ to be shown the way to heal. Then I had a dream. I had recently bought a book by Dr John Sarno called Healing Back Pain, but it was left unread on my nightstand because I couldn't accept that my pain was solely psychogenic. In the dream I was on a podcast, holding up Sarno's book and saying, ‘diet is ok, but this is better.' After that dream, I read Sarno and other TMS books. I started journaling and began to slowly recover. Every week I walked a little farther and ate a little more. After 15 months, I had fully recovered. I could eat and drink anything humanly edible, do 60 consecutive pushups and run a 10k in 40 minutes.

Physician John Sarno wrote a book called "Healing Back Pain" that introduced the idea of tension myositis. Does this theory of chronic pain make sense? What about when doctors tell you that your pain is all in your head? Do you need to heal your emotions before you can heal your back pain, hip pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, etc.?

Kelly is from the UK. She is 52 years old and lives in the south of Spain. In her 20s she started to have chronic pain, which developed into chronic fatigue syndrome, which is also known as fibromyalgia. And she lived with all this pain and suffering for 18 years. Six years ago, she found her way out of it, without medication, and is now running races and leading a very active and full life. Literally, catching up on the last 18 years at full speed. 4 Essential books to read Healing Back Pain by Dr. Sarno Chronic Pain: Your Key to Recovery by Georgie Oldfield The Way Out by Alan Gordon The Great Pain Deception by Steve Ozanich Podcasts Tell Me About Your Pain The Mind & Fitness Podcast Like Mind Like Body How To Heal Chronic Pain with Dr Howard Schubiner App Curable YouTube Healing Chronic Pain – Jim Prussak PT TMS Healing Wall of Victory - Testimonial Block #18 - Rebecca Pattinson Steve Ozanich TMS Whisperer Back Pain Permanent Healing by Steven Ray Ozanich Dr John E Sarno 20/20 with Barbara Walters Dr Sarno's 12 Day Reminders Breakthrough with Healing Chronic Pain – Howard Schubiner Healing Yourself Documentary This Might Hurt with Dr Howard Schubiner UK Physio Steve Robson Join the Hack My Age community on: Facebook Page : http://facebook.com/hackmyage Facebook Group: Biohacking Women 50+ - Longevity After Menopause https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingwomen50 Instagram: http://instagram.com/hackmyage Website: http://www.hackmyage.com Clubhouse: @hackmyage (Club: Biohacking Women 50+) Hack My Age VIP Group: http://patreon.com/hackmyage Email: zora@hackmyage.com Newsletter: http://www.hackmyage.com/newsletter This podcast is edited by jonathanjk.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/hackmyage/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hackmyage/support
An avid outdoorsman, Mike's ski season kicked off with a blister, soon after, he developed a hamstring pull and later a shoulder pain. His anxiety was mounting and his emotions were running high. In rapid succession, he was told he needed several surgeries. With so much of his identity wound up in athleticism, his world drew into sharp relief. Relatively healthy prior to this, he can now look back and see a pattern of emotional connections to his pain, even some resulting in prior surgeries. “I didn't believe that I deserved to be happy until I was pain free.” After consulting with more than 17 physicians and a daunting list of medical conditions and consumed with thoughts of pain, a neurologist told him that anxiety can cause pain. He began to read John Sarno's "Healing Back Pain." Having his body fail was more threatening than the idea that his emotions were the root of his pain. Tune in for the continuation of my interview tomorrow where we'll discuss Mike's introduction to therapy, how he began to link his pain to repressed emotions and the role of meditation in his life.

Your true self is one of the greatest sources of love and wisdom available to you. Sometimes what you need to do is to look inside yourself to find the answers you're looking for. In this episode, Ulrika Sullivan, author and intuitive spiritual life coach, joins Matt O'Neill to talk about the journey of awakening your true self. They talk about Ulrika's book “Wisdom Beyond What You Know” and what you can do to connect with, and love yourself. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Love yourself and put yourself first Find your opportunity for self-awareness Tune in to your body Set your energetic boundaries You are part of a big, wide universe. [06:25] You Complete Yourself Turn your focus inwards. Ask yourself first before seeking validation from others. You know best what works for you. You are a source of love for yourself. Even without others, you're whole and complete. [16:38] Journey of Self-Awareness Ulrika was a successful woman whose identity revolved around her job. However, when she got laid off, she found herself lost and not knowing who she was. This was the start of her journey to self-awareness. [21:44] The Body Talks Everyone has an energetic connection to their bodies.For Ulrika, yoga was her gateway to this connection. Spiritual practices and time tuning into yourself can help you learn to connect with your emotional, physical, and spiritual body. [35:02] Ruling Your Own Life When you seek to please others, you can lose your own sovereignty. Set your energetic boundaries and say no to what doesn't align with your true self. You are connected to the whole universe. You have a connection to a bigger, true self. Notable quotes: [02:31] “Awakening can be awakening to who we truly are… to our true self.” [02:38] [14:00] “We all have this story of how we got to where we are. But the important part is to allow ourselves to distance ourselves a little bit to those stories inside” [14:11] [23:42] "Yoga is this connector of movement, breath, and stillness. Because all three are required in a way to be able to listen to what the body and its intuition is telling us. It's not really separate.

Any dog person out there already knows about the deep connection we have with dogs, and all animals, but does that connection end when they die? For so many reasons you'll hear me say “No way”! My guest on this episode would probably also say “no way, and..” as she received a huge, unexpected gift after her dog's death; you might call it a spiritual healing for her back pain. Lola Bryan, author of “When Your Dog Has Cancer: Making the Right Decisions for You and Your Dog,”, tells us the story of what deep lesson she learned about her body after her dog died of cancer, and how she continues to use this connection when she feels pain in her body. Can her experience also help you if you have some unexplained discomfort and the doctors haven't been able to give you much relief? Maybe, I believe everything in our life is an opportunity to look deeper into our spiritual connection for answers. Sometimes those answers are in medication, sometimes the answers are in meditation, it's for you to decide for yourself, not me. For me, a Spiritual Healing is any kind of healing that comes from my connection to Self or SoulIn this episode you will learn: ~Lola's tried and true way she finds relief for her back pain ~Several of the body connection methods I use with my clients and myself ~The value of listening to your body ~This week's personal, life-changing, spiritual connection exercise About Lola Bryan:Lola has been an avid animal lover since she was a little girl, but wasn't allowed to have a pet as a child due to family allergies. Once she was settled in her late 20's, she bonded quickly with her first puppy, a chocolate lab named Porter. It was when Porter was diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma that Lola inadvertently employed hospice care to ensure that his last few months would be of a high quality of life. After his death, she decided to capture her experiences with caring for a cancer dog by writing a book to share what she had learned, so that others would not have to start from ground zero. During the writing of her book, “When Your Dog Has Cancer: Making the Right Decisions for You and Your Dog,” Jasper, a yellow lab-hound dog mix she adopted, was diagnosed with mast cell tumor and she again used hospice techniques on the path to a natural death. Her undergraduate days at MIT and a position at Los Alamos National Laboratory have grounded her in the ways of research, which has been an invaluable asset. She is also an active volunteer in the local and national MIT Alumni Association. She currently serves on the Board of Directors of Pasado's Safe Haven based in Sultan, WA and is a volunteer for the Canine Cancer Alliance based in Bellevue, WA. She is also an active volunteer in the local and sits on the Board of Directors of the MIT Alumni Association.Her book website is http://www.whenyourdoghascancer.org/Making the Right Decisions for You and Your DogAn article published in Dogs Naturally magazine in August of 2015 espoused the use of a natural plant compound called artemisinin in treating canine cancer. A researcher at the University of Washington, Dr. Henry Lai, treated a dog with severe osteosarcoma who could barely walk with the compound and five days later, the dog had made a complete recovery. “Healing Back Pain” by John Sarno book
In this episode we discuss how pain syndromes occur, what's happening in the brain, how to diagnose and explain these syndromes in our patients and (most importantly) how to help patients on the road to recovery. Our guest, Dr. Schubiner, has decades of experience in treating patients with these syndromes and uses randomized controlled studies to inform his approach. These studies have shown that a specific type of treatment leads to a nearly complete elimination of pain in a large majority of patients with chronic pain.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The “mind-body vicious cycle” model of RSI & back pain, published by Steven Byrnes on June 9, 2022 on LessWrong. (Written in a hurry, but hopefully better than nothing.) Here are three alternative models of what might be happening in people diagnosed with chronic back pain, and repetitive strain injury (RSI), and carpal tunnel syndrome, and maybe other things too: My guess is that the “mind-body vicious cycle” model (on the right) is the correct story for most people with chronic hand / wrist or back pain (and maybe certain other conditions). Certainly not all people. It's a big world; different people have different problems. For example, I bet this guy is feeling back pain right now for reasons best explained by the “orthodox” model: (Granted, this guy wouldn't technically fall under the definition of chronic back pain. But you get what I'm saying.) This post will say a bit about the “mind-body vicious cycle” model, why I think it's a frequent culprit, and how that impacts treatment. Warning 1: I have no medical expertise, I'm just a rando on the internet writing a blog post. Please don't trust me when it comes to important medical decisions. :-P Warning 2: I have a horse in this race, as you'll see in a second. 1. Reasons to question the orthodox model 1.1 Anecdotes of practically-overnight-permanent-miracle-cures I'll start with my own story. Hi! For about a year from 2006-7, I had bad and progressively worse RSI, eventually hampering my ability to use a keyboard, then also mouse, then also pen, and after a while I even got various other weird painful conditions that don't even make sense. It was a miserable experience and I hate talking or thinking about it, but luckily I wrote up these notes shortly afterwards, so check that out if you want more details, and now let us never speak of it again. Anyway, after trying everything else, I read the book Healing Back Pain by John Sarno (weirdly—recall that my pain was not in my back!), and within a few days I was totally better in every way forever. (More on that book later.) (I'm writing this on a cramped laptop keyboard, with terrible posture in every way, just like I've been doing pretty much all day every day for years. And I feel perfectly lovely, thank you very much.) I had read Healing Back Pain on the suggestion of my good friend Andy. He had had a very similar miracle-cure experience. I've heard from four people (two friends, two friends-of-friends) that they read my webpage and also had very similar miracle-cure experiences. (Quoth one: “it's been nothing short of pure magic”.) The amazon reviews have page after page of miracle-cure stories like this, and you can find many more at “Rachel's RSI homage to Dr. John Sarno”, or ThankYouDrSarno.org (exactly what it sounds like), or just by google searching. Celebrities who gushingly praise John Sarno include Howard Stern (who dedicated his first book to his wife, his parents, and John Sarno), Larry David (“the closest I ever had to a religious experience”), and John Stossel (the 20/20 anchor; here's his effusive segment on Sarno). And you'll presumably find even more miracle-cure stories if you expand your search beyond John Sarno, to like-minded people like Howard Schubiner, Alan Gordon, Nicole Sachs, etc. Needless to say, practically-overnight-permanent-miracle-cures are incompatible with the orthodox model. If I have a broken leg, no way am I going to just read a book and then bam, two days later I'm back at the gym jumping rope. I guess an orthodox-model-advocate could say it's the placebo effect, where people learn to ignore their pain. But, umm, this is a case where there's literally no difference between “placebo effect” and “cure”. Call it what you will! Alternatively, the orthodox model advocate could say that the orthodox model is right for some people b...

Lots of betrayal by people (maybe herself )in her life. One of her low's in life was as a newly postpartum mom with severe back pain and having to carry her newborn around while she crawled on the floor. No support from people in her life including her husband. He was at work and her mother had no ability to be supportive. She learned to rely on herself and get strong no matter what. It was for another 20 years that she would discover the mind-body connection. Victoria Bruce is a part of a loving and supportive family. She is a registered nurse and has worked in surgery. During her time in the surgery room she saw a lot of unnecessary procedures. She then worked as a lactation consultant having a supportive role helping mothers and babies breastfeed. Topics we cover 1. Her belief that the origin of symptoms is from repressed emotions. 2. Her belief that her body is structurally normal. 3. She is empowered by pushing herself to get out into the world/life and do the things she likes: skiing, hiking - walking, going to Zumba, lifting weights, gardening and getting back into the ocean and boogie boarding. 4. She talks about her process and that healing is her responsibility - it being an opportunity to heal herself. She gets to look within, take action, which is good news because she realizes she is not a victim to circumstances. 5. She discusses how it feels good to help others with their process because of how much she has learned about herself and her process. 6. She goes on to mention that when she has gone over her life and pulled out areas of great sadness and regret to write about them, it has proven to be very helpful and healing.

Ugh... back pain. We've probably all had it, or at least 80% of us will, according to the NIH.It can be a real pain in the butt! Or sometimes neck.... or hip... or.... you get the idea!Sadly, over half of the population has back pain that persists for 5+ years with 200 BILLION dollars being spent treating the symptoms... yes, treating symptoms.In this week's episode, we talk about the root cause of 99.9% of back pain which is almost NEVER addressed by any doctor, chiropractor, physical therapist, or any other well-meaning physical medicine practitioner.*This topic is very timely for us, Dr. Susanna in particular, as she is right in the midst of Healing Back Pain. She shares a bit of her story and journey today.If you'd like to join these conversations live, be sure to Subscribe to the Alter Health YouTube Channel! https://www.youtube.com/alterhealthSome highlights from today's MM episode...People are so often told their back pain is due to: Herniated discs, osteoarthritis / degenerated disc disease, “Pinched nerve”, “Sciatica”, osteophytes / bone spurs, spondylolisthesis People are told and reaffirmed that their backs are fragile and vulnerable and they must be sure not to "injur" or "aggravate"The underlying cause of back pain stress/tension (Tension Myositis Syndrome or TMS) according to the work of Dr. SarnoBack pain is a physical symptom with psychological rootsMost feel it easier and more socially acceptable to deal with physical pain than emotional issuesThe “Goodists” or “Perfectionists” tend to be most vulnerableConventional treatments fail to address the root of the issue: Anti-inflammatories, Physical therapy, Chiropractic, Massage, Spinal Traction, Yoga, Rest, Surgery, Etc, etc, etc.......Tensionmyositis is also a probable root cause of many other chronic pain conditionsBooks and Resources Referenced in the episode- Healing Back Pain - https://amzn.to/3sUmac0- The Mind Body Prescription - https://amzn.to/3mTz1aG- The Divided Mind - https://amzn.to/3pOqV4R- All The Rage Documentary - http://alltheragedoc.com- Episode 74 of Alter Your Health - https://podcast.alter.health/74Links to some more good stuff- Join Alter Health on Locals: https://alterhealth.locals.com/- Cleanse with Us during the next Alter Health Cleanse: https://www.alter.health/cleanse- Work with us in the Thrive on Plants program: https://www.alter.health/thrive-on-plants- ATTN Health Practitioners!

Are you in pain? Does your neck, back or shoulder hurt? Check out this book “Healing Back Pain”. In this episode I am talking about my struggle with recent pain and how I got rid of it, by realizing it was a deeper issue. Keep in mind I was cleared by my doctors. I also have a background in neuroscience. I believe pain should be treated by a medical doctor, or in conjunction with one. Some pain is psychosomatic, check out this book.
Daniela Mattos left her home in Brazil at 19 years old to come to the US. She started her path studying Biotechnology, then worked on Wall Street for twelve years, and now is a KRI-Certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher. If you're wondering how someone goes from climbing the corporate ladder to teaching yoga, while making a complete life transformation, this is the episode for you. In today's episode, Daniela shares her story, and how she went from being a skeptic to an illuminated and radiant guide to others. After the birth of her second child, everything changed in her life. She experienced chronic pain, and while she was determined to recover, a new modality presented itself. That modality was the “Diamond” of Yoga, and while she found the practice to be quite weird, because - hey it can be!, she was open and that's when her world began to change. She completed her Kundalini teacher training under renowned teacher, Gurmukh. She's also has a certification in Radiant Child Yoga, Reiki Usui Method Levels 1 and 2, as well as an Astrology certification with Rebecca Gordon. Today Kundalini Yoga centers her life, and through its practice, she strives to become a more aware and compassionate version of herself. You can read more about Daniela's life and practice in her book Sat Nam: Becoming Your Own Guru.

After years of experiencing mysterious intermittent pain in his back, Scott Young was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, an inflammatory autoimmune condition that, over time, can cause the bones of the spine to fuse. In this episode, he shares how his physical therapist encouraged him to start CrossFit to improve his movement mechanics, and how, over time, that's led to his realization that staying moving helps relieve some of the stiffness and pain he experiences as a result of his AS. We also talk about the mental benefits of surrounding yourself with a community that lifts you up, and the importance of focusing your energy on habits that lead to health and happiness in the long-term. You can connect with Scott via Instagram @scottyoungcf.

Join me in this episode as I speak with Adam Demir. Adam discusses many years of back pain, neck pain and migraine attacks. Adam's back pain became so severe that he was told to give up sports and heavy lifting, leading to much despair. He was told that the pain he was experiencing would be with him for the rest of his life and that he simply had to learn to 'manage' it - until he found Sarno's Healing Back Pain. Adam learnt that the body is not a machine, but something that is deeply influenced by the mind and through this knowledge he finally found relief.

On today's episode, we have Dani Fagan - @mytms_journeyIn 2015, Dani experienced the onset of crippling back pain that debilitated her for around 3 years. She consulted a lot of doctors and got diagnosed with disc degeneration. Dani knew that it wasn't just simple disc degeneration and stumbled upon the work of Dr John Sarno and his 'Healing Back Pain' book, which was a game changer. At the time, Dani couldn't walk very far or sit upright and sometimes even had to use a wheelchair to get around. It was a long difficult road that had many ups and downs for a couple of years, but eventually, found a set of tools and techniques online that led her into a journey of self-discovery and healing. In her blog, “My TMS Journey”, she shares her Recovery Journey Roadmap where she outlines the six elements Dani used to achieve complete recovery from TMS.

This week Alyssa sits down with friend and colleague, Jennifer Bristol, LCSW, to discuss the mind-body connection and the idea that addressing our emotions can help to pacify chronic pain. Support the Light After Trauma Podcast Book's discussed: Healing Back Pain by Dr. John E. Sarno The Mindbody Prescription by Dr. John E. Sarno Jennifer's website Alyssa Scolari: [00:00:23] Hi, everybody. You know what time it is. Welcome to another episode of the Light After Trauma podcast. I am your host, Alyssa Scolari and we have here with us today. My dear friend, Jennifer Bristol, LCSW. So I met Jen. I'm just going to give a personal bio for her. I met her as a result of COVID. So while I, of course would have never wanted COVID to happen. And horrible things have happened. One of the wonderful things that has come out of COVID is the support group, or I guess it would be like a peer supervision group that we are in together on Sundays. I met her through there and I have really watched Jennifer make incredible changes in her life. In the last year when I met her, she was working for another company. And you were working in like geriatric care, right. A social worker for... Jennifer Bristol: [00:01:56] Yeah, hospice actually. Alyssa Scolari: [00:01:58] Okay. So yes. So when I met her, she was working for hospice and over the course of the year, she has gotten married. Is it okay if I say... Jennifer Bristol: [00:02:08] Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. Alyssa Scolari: [00:02:10] So she has gotten married. Had a beautiful wedding, even in a pandemic ,safely, of course. And she works for herself now at Embracing Stages, she is a therapist working with people ages 18 and up. Correct. Jennifer Bristol: [00:02:31] Correct? Yeah. Alyssa Scolari: [00:02:32] So without further ado, I'm going to turn it over to Jen. Hi Jen. Thank you for coming on the show. I know you have a lot going on and it has been a year of changes for you. Jennifer Bristol: [00:02:46] Yes, a lot of changes, but wonderful ones. All good, except for COVID. Other than that, all good. Alyssa Scolari: [00:02:54] Right, except for COVID. But in terms of your career, you have just been thriving and it has been such a joy to watch because you are, you're so good at what you do. Jen to the listeners out there, and I will link her website. It's embracingstages.com. I'll link it on the show notes for everybody. Jen's a phenomenal therapist. So one of the ways in which Jen helped me is early on in the pandemic. So it has to be probably like a year ago at this point, because I think we started the group in March of last year. So it had to be maybe like 10 months ago or so Jen started talking about back pain. And how she healed her back pain. And I am somebody who has had physical symptoms out the wazoo, my entire life. I'm always like my back hurts. My knees hurt. My hips hurt. My neck hurts. And she recommended this book by John E Sarno called "Healing Back Pain." And I was like, what the hell. So I ordered it on Amazon. And I read it and I was like, Oh my God, we have to talk about this. So I am having Jen on today to talk about back pain and the book. And so could you talk a little bit about how did you even stumble on this book? Jennifer Bristol: [00:04:31] So actually through my own experiences and my own complaining of physical symptoms, it was actually close friends of my husband and I they're a close couple of friends and she recommended the book to me because of her own experiences and how much it helped her. She recommended it to me and I read it and that was it. My complete way of thinking changed everything. It's like a whole new world open. Alyssa Scolari: [00:05:05] Yes. And so as a disclaimer, let us say that Jen and I are not doctors. We are not, not, not doctors. So if you are listening to this podcast for medical advice, please hit the stop button and call your primary care physician. We are simply two people who have experienced kind of the same effects and the same results with our pain after reading this book. So can you give like a brief kind of synopsis on like what John talks about in the book? Cause I think he's a chiropractor, right? Jennifer Bristol: [00:05:47] I want to say physical therapists. Alyssa Scolari: [00:05:50] You're right. Physical therapist. Yep. Jennifer Bristol: [00:05:52] Yeah. And so what was the question, that synopsis of the book or TMS or kind of in general. Alyssa Scolari: [00:06:00] Yeah. So can you introduce like, cause he introduces the concept of TMS. So can you talk a little bit about that? Jennifer Bristol: [00:06:06] Yeah. So for TMS, because TMS is actually, there's a therapy of TMS, but the TMS we're talking about is Tension Myositis Syndrome, where basically it's an emotional state, a psychological state that can trigger, in Dr. Sarno's work ,and trigger the autonomous nervous system. And when that's triggered, it causes a mild oxygen deprivation to different areas of the body. And when there is the oxygen deprivation, it causes physical pain in simple terms. Alyssa Scolari: [00:06:41] Yes. I think you put that actually way more simply than I would've ever to but that, so yes, TMS is Dr. Sarno's ,after seeing so many patients and please order this book on Amazon, it is absolutely worth it. After seeing so many patients come to him with back pain in particular, he talks about. He started to think and be like, what is going on here? And then from there came TMS, which is this idea that people, because it's too painful to feel their feelings, whether it's emotional distress as a result of trauma of grief, whatever it may be, they store those feelings in their body and where those feelings are stored causes. Like you said, oxygen deprivation, which causes acute pain. Jennifer Bristol: [00:07:36] Well, and chronic pain. Alyssa Scolari: [00:07:38] Yes. Jennifer Bristol: [00:07:39] And I think the thing that is always fascinating to me is that. So many individuals who have chronic pain say, you know, it's kind of like a hamster wheel of going to physical therapy and maxing out all your physical therapy sessions for the year, or at least that was for me, but then also going to out of network, in network, searching constantly for that physical result of what it can be in that physical treatment. But when it comes to something, that's a cue. Now, everyone knows. If you're anxious, then you get butterflies in your stomach or you have to run to the bathroom. Or if you feel sad and you just are fatigued and you can't get out of bed because of how sad you are. But when it comes to something that's chronic, like back pain or GI issues that can't be from emotions, that can't be anything that's repressed. Alyssa Scolari: [00:08:32] Heaven forbid. Jennifer Bristol: [00:08:34] Yeah, it has to be something physical. And so it still to this day fascinates me how the mind can kind of separate, like it's okay for acute things, but not for chronic. Alyssa Scolari: [00:08:47] Yeah. Yeah. And really what Dr. Sarno did is he brought the two together and I feel like is one of the forefront doctors that really began looking at this mind, body connection that like, okay, people who are having chronic back pain, for example, X-ray after x-ray and like you said doctor after doctor, they're not getting better, they're not getting answers or maybe they're getting temporary relief. And then what would happen is the pain would pop up somewhere else. Right? So now my back doesn't hurt anymore, but I suddenly, I have this like shoulder pain that I can't quite kick and what he was doing as the listeners out there, if you read this book, as you would read through the book is he would prescribe people to go to therapy. Jennifer Bristol: [00:09:38] Yeah to therapy or to journal. Absolutely. To get in touch with the repressed emotions. Alyssa Scolari: [00:09:46] To connect the mind to the body and to integrate the emotions with your physical functioning and people were noticing it was then that their pain was going away. And again, I want to reiterate Jen and I are not doctors. So if you are having back pain, please go see a doctor. But, we're here to share our stories about how freeing it was. I know it was so freeing for me to read that book and it truly healed my back pain. So I guess I'll ask you, did you, and I think I know the answer to this, but you had back pain, right? Is that the chronic pain? Jennifer Bristol: [00:10:33] So I've had a few different pains, kind of like you, because if one is feeling better, the other pops up. So I've kind of had upper back pain my whole life, and then it became lower back pain and then GI issues and pain shooting down my leg to my knee. And so it's kind of been all over the place. Alyssa Scolari: [00:11:00] And what was the process like for you when you were reading this book? Like, because I, I don't know if it was different than it was for me. Did you read this book? And then all of a sudden it went away? Jennifer Bristol: [00:11:14] So, yes. No, it didn't completely go away, but I would say there was a percentage that was lifted. As I read it and I went along and it really was almost like you could feel a part of the mind opening up to, Oh my God, there's this whole new concept. And it could really be some, like, I don't need to be on this hamster wheel anymore of trying to go to physical therapy or acupuncture or massage therapy. And so as I was reading it, yes, a lot of my pain did heal, but it wasn't a hundred percent. There was more work and exploration that needed to be done as I read. And after I read. Alyssa Scolari: [00:12:01] Yes. And it's a lot of having to feel the feelings that you've been suppressing, which doesn't happen in an instant. And when we talk about pain, I know that you said it was chronic pain, but can you talk about the ways in which it perhaps like limited your ability to function? Jennifer Bristol: [00:12:23] Absolutely. So with my lower back pain, I couldn't wear heels like high heels for more than like 10 minutes without having my back, starting to hurt. If I would go for a walk or I would be cleaning or cooking, I could stand or walk for maybe like 10 or 15 minutes and then I'd have to stop and stretch and then continue. I'll say it on this podcast, sex with my partner, it was like so many different things. And when we look at repressed emotions, I mean, intimacy too is something that people, a lot of times, people don't dive into and there's intimacy issues and relationships. And I love working through that with my clients as to what does that look like. Whether you're single or you have a partner ,intimacy and sex can be explored. And so really every part of my life was affected because if I couldn't stand for more than 10, 15 minutes, what was I supposed to do? Sit down all the time. And then I'm sitting in a chair and I have to constantly fidget because no position is comfortable. And then when it comes to the GI stuff, I mean, you would have thought I was gluten intolerant, dairy intolerant. I would have like four or five different sugar substitutes in my house and thought that all of that was the cause for it. And now today I could scarf down a whole pint of Ben and Jerry's and not have any stomach problems. Alyssa Scolari: [00:13:51] And be fine. Yes. I like that you touched on that, that it extends to GI issues as well. Maybe not necessarily in the book. Jennifer Bristol: [00:14:00] In the other book he mentioned it. "The Mindbody Prescription." Yeah. Alyssa Scolari: [00:14:04] Okay. Okay. I didn't read the other book, but yes. So it touches on like GI issues as well: gastrointestinal, like Irritable Bowel Syndrome that people have food intolerances, all of these things. And we're not saying for sure, but oftentimes they are related to your inability to process and regulate really difficult emotions. Jennifer Bristol: [00:14:35] Yeah, absolutely. I mean even, and cause I know this is a trauma podcast and when you look at victims of sexual abuse and when you look at sexual abuse survivors, a lot of times there's pelvic pain and genital pain and that is very common. And so why can that happen? But not other chronic pain. Alyssa Scolari: [00:15:03] Yeah. And it sounds like what you're talking about from your experience is it's almost like you feel even in like your twenties, that you're a hundred years old. Jennifer Bristol: [00:15:18] Oh, absolutely. I felt like I was a hundred years old. Yeah. Yes. Alyssa Scolari: [00:15:24] Yeah. And how old were you when your chronic pain started? Jennifer Bristol: [00:15:27] I'll be honest with my upper back. I have been going to a chiropractor since like middle school. Alyssa Scolari: [00:15:34] Okay. Yes. That's when it started for me as well, issues with my, it was not my back at first. It was my knees. My knees have hurt me my entire life and because of my eating disorder, I have been every weight and every size under the sun. And so weight never affected the pain in my knees, but from the time I was a little kid, I had this knee pain and I went to doctor after doctor some of the top docs in the nation for knees. And every doctor was like, I don't know what you're talking about. And then what would happen? They would send me to physical therapy. I would max out my physical therapy, just like you said for the year. And then my knees would stlll hurt. Jennifer Bristol: [00:16:28] Yeah. Alyssa Scolari: [00:16:30] And at 14 years old, my friends used to actually make fun of me because I would emember being in middle school and like getting up with the lunch tray in the cafeteria. And I could barely, because they were benches that we would sit on, so I would have to like slide over and I would moan and groan and be like, Oh, Oh, as I got up and my friends were like, what the hell? Like are you 110. I was 14. I was in pain because I had no clue how to process any of the emotional pain. Jennifer Bristol: [00:17:12] Absolutely. You know, it's almost, when it comes to my upper back, it was really my lower back that brought me to Sarno because the upper back I had had it for so long since I was a kid, that it was almost just like a way of life at that point, having to crack my back. And this is even the coolest thing I used to have to crack my back all the time, all day long. I don't even do that anymore. It's like the muscles and the structure just loosened. But, it really was a way of life going to the chiropractor and going for massages and acupuncture. That was, it almost seemed normal to me. And so I didn't even view it as an issue that could be fixed. I just accepted it, that this was my life and this is something I was going to have to deal with. Alyssa Scolari: [00:18:05] Yeah. Yeah. And I think that that was the same for me, for my knee pain. It wasn't until my lower back pain came, I was in my, what am I 29 now? So I was in my early twenties, early to mid twenties and I was at the gym and I was, I mean doing the same workout, that I've done a thousand times and out of nowhere, I was doing kettlebell swings and. Everybody, of course who hears that as like, Oh my God, kettlebells are the worst for you. I know the point is back then, I was doing them regularly. I was the strongest I'd ever been in my life. And I wasn't kettlebell swinging, you know, 60 pounds. I was using a smaller sized kettlebell and my back suddenly locked up and I went down in the middle of the gym class. And I couldn't get up and I couldn't go to work. I couldn't drive. I went to doctor after doctor who told me you will never be able to work out again. You will never be able to lift. You will never be able to exercise. You're going to have a horrible time in pregnancy because you've destroyed your back. And I thought my life was over. Like I had just met the man that I'm now married to. And I was like, I don't know what I'm going to do. And I don't know. Did you have that too? Like a grieving process of just being like, there's something wrong with me, like permanently. Jennifer Bristol: [00:20:01] Yeah. Especially when it came to the lower back, I don't know what it is with the lower back, but because it's almost as if like you had your knees. I had my upper back, we weren't listening. Our body was giving us a signal and we didn't know, and the body will keep giving different and new, stronger signals until, and different pain and different symptoms, until you listen or you don't and you continue with it. And for me, the lower back pain, I was actually training for a fitness competition and my upper back hurt as it always did. So my husband went to give me a back massage and he's an average sized man. And when he went and like sat on me from behind to give me a back massage, I felt shooting pain, go from my lower back all the way down my left leg. And he barely put any pressure on me whatsoever. And I was told to not to work out. I mean, I, I still finished the fitness competition and training for it, but Alyssa Scolari: [00:21:08] Damn right you did. Jennifer Bristol: [00:21:08] l had ot pain, but talk about repressing emotions. I mean, that is someone who is running from their feelings, waking up at 4:30 every day to go work out when I'm having pain. But then also. It literally felt like crippling almost like not that my life was over, but there were times I was just like, how am I going to do this? Like, I did want to have a baby. And I was told not to run that pregnancy may cause pain, all of these things. And now I'm 20 weeks pregnant and I haven't had any back pain. Alyssa Scolari: [00:21:43] Yeah. Jennifer Bristol: [00:21:45] And even with my scans, I, and I was told I have a bulging disc. Two of my discs or vertebrae were starting to fuse together. Like I was told all of these things were going on with me. And, but hello, it's normal. As someone gets older, your spine is going to have degenerations. And again, I say this not as a doctor, but anyone can do the research and show that you take majority of adult people and you give them. You scan them and do imaging. There's going to be some sort of degeneration, but why does one person have pain and another person does't. Alyssa Scolari: [00:22:29] So my jaw dropped. When I heard you talk about like the degenerative discs, like the bulging discs, because I was told the same thing I was told: you've got one herniated, disc, two bulging discs, whatever else discs do in your back, mine did. And I was sobbing. I, this is so embarrassing. I remember being in the office when he told me when the doctor told me and I blacked out for a second. I started to sweat and shake and he had to give me part of his lunch. He gave me a granola bar from his lunch because I think he thought I had low blood sugar. God bless him. He was a very kind kind, but I was like, Oh my God, my back is broken and I'll never be okay again. And I was told like, if you're going to go to the gym, if you ever do a bicep curl, you need to be laying down. So it's no pressure on your back. And it was like, so stressful that, you know, my world, as I knew, it kind of stopped on a dime, it just came to a halt. And for the last couple of years, I have been nursing my back and constantly afraid of hurting it. And for so, so many times I would hurt my back again and I would try to work out and I would be like, Oh, well that hurts my back. Oh, this hurts my back. I had a lumbar support in the car. I mean, I have a lumbar support everywhere, everywhere I go. I have a lumbar support. And then I read this book and was like, wait a minute. I was like, son of a bitch. I know this is emotional I know that around the time when my back pain hit, it's like kind of crescendo, is before I started uncovering. It was like right before I started uncovering repressed memories of sexual abuse, I had met the man that I was going to marry. I was scared. Because that required intimacy and for sexual abuse survivors, intimacy was really difficult. So I was like, Oh great. I'm good. I know I'm gonna marry this guy. Now I'm going to have to friggin to have sex with him. What am I going to do? And all of those feelings just came to this crescendo in back pain. So then, you know, fast forward to COVID I meet you. I read this book and I'm sitting in bed and every line I'm like highlighting and I'm like, "David, read this." He's like "what?" I'm like, "there's nothing wrong with me." He's like, "I know." So, I mean, yeah, it's, it's debilitating. It's absolutely debilitating. Jennifer Bristol: [00:25:42] I don't know about if this happens with you, but I know with me, it's kind of like a key almost like I actually am happy for the fact that I have physical symptoms and in therapy, we could say Somatic Symptom Disorder. Alyssa Scolari: [00:25:58] Yep. Jennifer Bristol: [00:25:59] It doesn't cause me the distress that it once did, but if I'm not dealing with my emotions, those symptoms will come back. There will be times when, around the holidays or certain people in my life, I could have a phone call with them or they could say, or do something and you know, I have a busy schedule. I have a very full practice and it could be easy for me to hang up the phone and be like, Nope, not going to deal with this. We're just going to like carry on our day, see our patients or do house work, go food shopping. And then the back pain starts to creep in, or I'll be sitting there eating and I'll be like, why does my stomach hurt so much? What did I eat today? And then it's like, Oh my God, wait. Like, I'm not processing that I'm not dealing with how much that hurt me or how angry I am. And even with being pregnant, I believe in his "Healing Back Pain" book and correct me if I'm wrong. Cause I, I was also reading the other book too, but I think it's in "Healing Back Pain". He mentioned like do gooders and people pleasers than individuals who are overly self-critical. Yeah. If you just want to like be good and make a good impression, and you're more susceptible to chronic pain and being pregnant. I worked hard for this baby. Like there was lots of morning monitoring and doctor's appointments and tubes of blood being taken. And I could very easily be like, I need to just be grateful for this baby. I should just be happy and it's a miracle and that's it. But what happens is. It's terrifying to be a first time mom and I like sushi and I like going for bike rides and I just recently moved down the shore and thought I was going to be taking surf lessons. And none of those things are a possibility right now, but it's okay. I can both be grateful. And also be that kid who's kind of like this isn't fair. And I can have both emotions at the same time. I don't have to push away. I don't want to call them bad emotions because they're not bad. They're just feelings Alyssa Scolari: [00:28:24] The less comfortable emotions. Jennifer Bristol: [00:28:27] Exactly. And what happens is when you push those away, because I'm supposed to be grateful and I'm supposed to be happy to be pregnant. When you push the other stuff away for me, physical pain comes up. And so when I allow myself the beautiful freedom of being both grateful for my miracle baby, but also a little frustrated that I'm not supposed to eat sushi. I don't have physical pain. Alyssa Scolari: [00:28:53] Yes. Yes. When you allow it all, the good with the bad, is when your pain goes away. And it's kind of, like you said, I feel the same way that I'm almost grateful for it because my body is really communicating with me and I'm now more in tune with it than ever. And after I read that book, I really started to think about my back pain and the more that I processed it, the more my back pain went away and it will pop back up or sometimes it'll go to my shoulder and sometimes it goes to my hips, like, you know, my pelvic area, or comes out in the form of like stomach issues. Right? But if I'm able to identify what it is, and then I'm able to go, well, what am I not dealing with? Because like you said, it's so easy to get off the phone with somebody after being triggered and to be like, eh, I'm not going to deal with that. Or even as therapists, we sometimes have sessions with other people that are triggering. So it's so easy to be like, and then be in pain. But as soon as that pain comes, like, I know it's something I'm not dealing with. And I love that you said you're allowing yourself to be like, Hey, this kind of sucks. I can't have sushi. And I'm scared. Cause I'm about to be a mom. And I know I wanted this, I wanted my baby so badly, but I'm terrified instead of just being like, well, you should be grateful. Cause it was so hard. It's self-compassion. Jennifer Bristol: [00:30:48] Absolutely. And a lot of times people are taught to if they fall off their bike and they want to cry and they're like, no, if you get back up and I understand that, and I think there's definitely room for that as well. But if you're taught from a young age, don't have your emotions or don't have your feelings, no matter what those feelings may be, it can...and even in society, we kind of live in a society too where you see on Facebook and Instagram, that everything is happy and positive. It's almost like where is the room for the grief? Where is the room for the anger or the pain? And it is allowing and nurturing that part of you that has it because we all have it. We all have unconscious emotions and feelings. And that's why I truly believe in therapy because it is that safe place to explore all of them. Alyssa Scolari: [00:31:47] Therapy is the best. I mean, I know we're biased, but like the best, it's absolutely the best. So I wanted to ask you, like now, Right now that you have this knowledge of like the mind-body connection and knowing, right. What do you do differently or are there things that you do differently to try to prevent the onset of pain? Or does that just look like going to therapy? Because for me, I have found that sometimes it sneaks up on me where I won't even be aware that I'm kind of suppressing stuff. Jennifer Bristol: [00:32:33] Yeah, absolutely. I mean, so journaling in the beginning of the pregnancy, there was a lot of anxiety. Because I have PCOS and all the things that I went through, there's a lot of anxiety about having the baby and keeping the baby and miscarriage and all of that. And physical symptoms were just happening all over my body. And for me, journaling and therapy, but definitely journaling is also what helps me. And I do know that if I have physical symptoms that are sneaking up, I also journal because that is a great place where it's just me and the journal. There's no fear of judgment. I, and I even tell my clients this, like after you journal, rip it up, rip it up it out. There is no need to hold to it. Yes. Yes. I love the burning. Alyssa Scolari: [00:33:25] Yes. Jennifer Bristol: [00:33:26] Of course got to be careful don't, want someone to start a fire. Safely. Yup. Burn things safely. And that can even be therapeutic too, whether you throw it out or, but just not to hold on to it because I don't ever want to go back and read those readings and then judge myself for reading them because it's not about judging or retaining. It's about getting in touch with what's going on underneath everything. So I would say journaling. But other than that, I have no physical limitations to my life minus the pregnancy ones, but I was told not to run before I was pregnant. I was going running. I could go horseback riding. I could, there's no physical limitations that I need to follow Alyssa Scolari: [00:34:13] Yes. Yes. It's so freeing. It's so freeing. Really, I mean to the listeners out there, if you struggle with chronic pain, if you're going to invest in a book, this is one of the books that you really need to invest in. It's again, "Healing Back Pain" by John E Sarno. You can find the book on Amazon. It's really not that expensive. And this is not an ad. We don't know him personally. I wish we did. What'd you say.

Today, I had the pleasure of interviewing Hasanna Fletcher, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and mind body practitioner from Santa Cruz, CA. Hasanna has been doing therapy for decades, but also found her way into the mind body field through her own experience of pain in her back and sciatica in her leg. Like so many practitioners in the field, she often can rely on trust built from her having experienced the terribly painful symptoms, and the mind body recovery, herself. We discuss her being one of the ones who found a ‘book cure', getting better rapidly after reading Dr. Sarno's Healing Back Pain. But, as she is quick to note, she continues to have to maintain her efforts to address a variety of symptoms, just as I have had to do. She and I share the viewpoint that it is the human condition to have mind body symptoms and also agree that the body is communicating something between us and ourselves! One of the fascinating experiences I had in talking with Hasanna was hearing her thoughts on aging and how to distinguish between true aging limitations and mind body issues. We cover herniated discs and arthritis and how surprised we both were when we first learned there was no correlation between these issues and pain. I felt this message brought something new to our many discussions about mind body issues and was so glad Hasanna could join us.
Wracked with intense, inexplicable pain in his hands, Talor Zamir, was forced to type through voice dictation software. When medical doctors could not diagnosis the issue, Talor went on a personal wellness quest for answers and in the process discovered that INflammation comes from INside of you.

Dr. David Johnson is a brain and spinal neurosurgeon who has had a pioneering role in the establishment of multidisciplinary spinal practices and holistic care for neurosurgical patients in Brisbane, Australia. He is also the co-owner of CrossFit Neuro, the first clinical CrossFit affiliate. By combining his passion for CrossFit, Olympic weightlifting, neurosurgery, and science, Dr. Johnson works to deliver the fundamental message that learning to move proficiently is key to preventing movement dysfunction which can lead to chronic back pain symptoms. Many of Dr. Johnson's patients go on to become members of his affiliate as a part of their recovery process to rehabilitate and to avoid future spine surgery. I first had the opportunity to hear about Dr. Johnson's work when he presented at the 2018 CrossFit Health Conference, and I was excited to catch up with him to learn how his practice has changed and evolved over the years. In this episode, we talk about the importance of addressing the root cause of pain rather than just treating the symptoms, and why sleep, nutrition, and stress management also plays an important part in managing and preventing back pain.

Most people who have a bulge or herniation in their intervertebral discs are told and therefore believe that the disc is the problem. Their doctor or therapist or friends even tell them that the piece of disc tissue is the issue, and they should therefore have it removed or do whatever it takes to fix it. I say that's not true and not only is it not true it is preventing massive of amounts of people from healing and getting out of pain. How do I know? Simple. Dr. John Sarno MD in his book Healing Back Pain talks about how in his years in practice he would see people with the smallest bulge whose lives were turned upside down in pain. He would also see people who had some of the worst herniations he had ever seen, and they had no pain at all. Why? Because the disc isn't THE PROBLEM. It's A problem but not THE PROBLEM. In this episode we will explore this phenomenon and set your mind free so you can truly heal! And don't forget that more strategies and amazing techniques can be found in my e book. Pain Sucks found here for download. https://payhip.com/b/24NQ Remember NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE GETS TO TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN'T HEAL!
Nicole’s book, The Meaning of Truth and her online course FREEDOM FROM CHRONIC PAIN are guiding hundreds of thousands around the world to lives of complete freedom. Her brand, The Cure for Chronic Pain, includes a Website, YouTube Channel, and Podcast which has over 500k downloads worldwide. Her personal experience as well as work with thousands of people around the world have shaped and evolved Nicole’s theories, which serve to teach those suffering how to heal themselves completely with no medication or surgery. Based originally off the work of Dr. John Sarno (Nicole is a direct disciple), her programs involve using a unique personal narrative called JournalSpeak to rewire neural pathways that cause chronic symptoms, and inform our misguided brains that we don’t need pain syndromes in order to distract us from our repressed trauma and emotions. Once the emotions are given a “steam valve,” the mind/body system is able to find equilibrium, moving from fight or flight to rest and repair, and symptoms dissolve. Her work is powerful and life altering, not only for the cessation of pain, but also for a whole new freedom for living.thecureforchronicpain.com East Forest Ceremony will be livestreamed July 18th 2020 at 8pm EST.

in this episode I interview Matt, who had debilitating back pain for 10 years. He just finished my 6 week coaching program and has some amazing results. Not only is he pain free most of the time, he learned mental tools to improve the relationships, and spirituality in his life. He learned emotions can be felt and processed instead of repressed and felt as pain. Matt is actively pursuing new goals, now that his mind is free of the mental preoccupation with and fear of pain. He understands the importance on investing in his mental capacities, just like we know a healthy diet and exercise is good for the body. He sets aside time daily for mental work and focus. Matt feels like he has been on "maintenance mode" for the last 10 years, and is now able to live hope for a future he is in charge of. Amazing results!

Chana Studley and I connected relatively recently via social media. She and I are both in the 3 Principles community with passions in holistic health and the mind body connection. Chana has a fascinating story, which is to some degree recounted fictionally in her book, The Myth of Low Self-Esteem. In this conversation we discuss her past traumatic experiences and how she has largely transcended the debilitating physical pain that she felt for years as a consequence. Chana’s current work is influenced by Dr. Sarno’s work with TMS (tension myositis syndrome) and the teachings of Sydney Banks and the 3 principles. Some important takeaways include... Chana’s experience of being mugged 3 times and almost dying How tension myositis syndrome (TMS) is really just “too much stress” Why reading a book, like Dr. Sarno’s “Healing Back Pain” can work to reverse symptoms The risk of dwelling on pain and symptoms, and what to do instead The power of understanding where pain and stress really come from You may also be interested in these episodes...

When you’re in pain and are lacking energy, it is hard to consider that the issue may lie within your body. Here to discuss his health journey is Ashley Thompson who had multiple genetic pre-dispositions toward having a hard health road. He shares what his life was like before making some huge health changes, how you can work to change your mindset, and what life looks like today. Ashley’s life changed when he got back the results of a genetic screen he’d opted into. He found that his body was genetically unable to process stress hormones efficiently while also being inefficient at creating energy. Not only could he not get too worked up about things, he also had trouble building up his energy stores. Once he learned about these issues he started researching how he could boost his energy levels. This led him on a long health journey that has resulted in him completely changing his eating and sleeping habits. Fast-forward to now and he’s dealing with the results of Lyme disease and mold toxicity. His journey is not over but the habits and mindset work he has built over the years has given him sure footing to get through this next hurdle. He shares what his daily sleep routine looks like now and how his diet has affected more than just his weight and sleep. Everything you put in your body has a purpose. Listen in as both Ashley and I share how eating clean and finding the right diet for our bodies has completely changed our lives.

In today's show, we'll get the Dr's take on a recent study "Surviving and Thriving: Fundamental Social Motives Provide Purpose in Life" published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin." https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0146167219883604 We'll also go over these questions: 1. Where do New Year's resolutions come from? Why start something Jan 1 vs. any other random day? 2. Dr. Lisle & Dr. Howk discuss the most common New Year's resolution: weight loss 3. What do the Dr's think about the work of Dr. John Sarno in curing chronic back pain using education of how the mind works as treatment? According to Dr. Sarno childhood abuse can lead to rage in the unconscious mind and brain triggers TMS or chronic pain to repress this internal rage and there have been hundreds of people who have cured their back ache after reading his book, Healing Back Pain
Our thoughts and mindset are powerful and impact how we experience our physical reality. Healing back pain and recovering from bad investment decisions may not seem initially related but both are influenced by our beliefs. From a life of chaos, broken relationships, high stress, and me desperately trying to hold it all together through the power of yoga, to discovering the impressive power of the mind-body connection and using such to re-wire the pain loops in my mind, I personally conquered back pain with my mental strength. We are all susceptible to allowing false thoughts, opinions, or beliefs as truth, yet we’re also blind to our own bias. Much like my physical pain was a response to the emotional anguish I was holding onto, investors tend to allow physical pain in their lives through knee-jerk reactions to the market fluctuations. Mindset matters more than any of us realize. The beliefs we hold so tightly are usually the ones we need to question the most.

Mandy runs a private psychotherapy clinic in the Indianapolis, In area. She is an age group athlete in running and triathlons so a high level but unpaid athlete In May of 2019 she suffered a ruptured 10mm herniated disc at L5-S1 and it set her up for a journey that she is just now coming out of. We talked about pain causing FEAR, UNCERTAINTY, AND BEING SCARED OF THE FUTURE and how it's ok to feel all those emotions. She taught us to VALIDATE THOSE FEELINGS but don't get stuck there as the longer you stay there the harder it is to get out. Knowing that pain is going to be a journey of months to years sometimes allows you to reset and recalibrate to win. One of her tricks she used in her own journey and with her clients is to take inventory of all that is good and be grateful through the pain (not for the pain). The mind body connection is huge, and we talked about several resources documenting emotional states and its link to cortisol leading to more inflammation and thus more pain. “The Body Keeps A Score” and “Healing Back Pain” are two books outlining emotional states and the response the physical body makes and how we can reverse the process and engineer healing. When we feel pain, we need to ground ourselves. She recommends 5-second-deep breaths and just focus on the here and now. Sounds, smells, our own breathing etc. Not to diminish the pain or fix it but to be present to rewire the body. 3 things Mandy recommends Deep breathing and acknowledging the present. Allow yourself to be vulnerable with yourself and honest about how the pain makes you feel. Then ground yourself. Utilize resources. Lean on those who love you and even have connections to practitioners and resources for healing. Don't do it alone ever. Focus on what you can do right now and JUST DO IT. Get up. Go to a ballgame your kid is playing. Have dinner with the family. Go for a walk. Watch a movie. Understand completely you have to DO THE WORK. Healing wont' happen with passivity. You must take action. She can be reached at www.mandyleonards.com Her blog site is https://www.mandyleonards.com/blog where you can learn about her journey and work on your own. Some Final thoughts Mandy left us with: Trauma makes your brain go into fight or flight mode. This can me emotional trauma OR physical trauma OR BOTH. You can either be okay in everyday life, or freeze where the past repeats over and over. Make room for BOTH. When people are stuck, two aspects of them are trying to get through a single door. Make a double door and give permission. Remember, anything that will reduce stress is going to be helpful in terms of reducing inflammation.

The Back Pain Relief Diet: The Undiscovered Key to Reducing Inflammation and Eliminating Pain https://amzn.to/2E274Ig The Ultimate Backbridge Stretch Book: (The Sinett Solution) https://amzn.to/2Qzjcah Dr. Todd Sinett Backbridge – Lumbar Support and Pain Relief for Lower and Upper Back – Adjustable Stretching and Strengthening Back Arch https://amzn.to/2PkdEvE The Sinett Solution http://learntruehealth.com/the-sinett-solution The Sinett Solution is one of the approaches worth looking into if you have back pain issues. It’s a common misconception that things like back pain and other chronic problems can only be addressed with medication. Dr. Todd Sinett is my guest today who will tell us exactly how The Sinett Solution has helped change so many lives. Father’s Ordeal The Sinett Solution was not conceived overnight. It started with the personal experience of Dr. Todd Sinett’s father who was a chiropractor for fifteen years. One day, Dr. Todd Sinett’s father bent to pick up a tennis ball which resulted in back pain and a nine-month journey to find a solution. His father was completely debilitated by back pain to the point he was unable to work and was incapacitated for nine months. A breakthrough came when Dr. Todd Sinett’s father went to see a Dr. George Goodheart who was a chiropractor in Detroit. Dr. George Goodheart initially asked about diet and digestive function. After a through diagnosis, Dr. George Goodheart surmised that the act of bending down to pick up a tennis ball was not the real cause of the back pain of Dr. Todd Sinett’s father. Poor Diet Poor diet is the cause of the elder Sinett’s back spasm. His diet was filled with sugar, hence upsetting his stomach and creating something called visceral somatic reaction. “Our digestive system is very much linked to our muscular system. Dr. Goodheart made dad completely change his diet,” recalls Dr. Todd Sinett. “He removed all the sugars and irritants to his digestive system and was 100% cured. That changed the way he practiced, and he then wanted to help people.” Helping People Dr. Todd Sinett is a second-generation chiropractor. And he feels his life mission is to help as many people as possible. He says as he got older, this information became too vital for him to pass up. “My life mission is to help as many people as possible. I came up with The Sinett Solution, and it is the right approach to diagnose and treat back pain. It’s a paradigm problem. And it is a philosophical problem which is why we have so much back pain,” said Dr. Todd Sinett. Harsh Reality Dr. Todd Sinett says if you look at the statistics of back pain, we are in a complete health epidemic. Because 20% of the world population suffers from back pain. And 85% of the world will suffer from back pain. “It’s the second leading cause of missed work days. And it’s the number one reason for job disability,” Dr. Todd Sinett shares. “But all we keep doing is putting more energy, more effort, more time, more money, more invasive treatments to try treat back pain. We keep having more back pain. Something needs to change.” He adds, “The only random thing in the body is trauma. If you fall off a bicycle or be involved in a motor vehicle accident, that’s trauma. And that’s a random event. Other than that, everything else is building little by little.” Dr. Todd Sinett also reveals that the rate of back surgery in the U.S. is extremely high to the point where the success rate is so poor, that we have a diagnosis called FBSS or Failed Back Surgical Syndrome. Sources Of Back Pain Dr. Todd Sinett says back pain will come from three sources. Structural imbalances or structural inflammation is where we are spending all of our current energy, time and effort. Furthermore, Stanford University found that stress is the number one factor when it comes to back pain. “Stress and emotions are very important factors. The third is diet, nutrition and digestive function,” said Dr. Todd Sinett. “So, any imbalance in any one of those three areas can trigger back pain. Oddly enough, it can also very commonly be some culmination of two or all three factors.” Dr. Todd Sinett also says just because the pain went away; it does not mean the problem went away. Listen to the body rather than tell it to shut up. “We need to figure out what’s the right diet for a particular individual. What is healthy for you is not necessarily healthy for some. So, make sure you are listening to the body and our digestive system because that is the key,” Dr. Todd Sinett advised. He adds, “When people are in a lot of pain, doctors will frequently prescribe anti-inflammatory medication. So, if you have a diet that is anti-inflammatory in nature, in theory, it’s going to accomplish the same thing naturally.” The Back Pain Relief Diet Book The Back Pain Relief Diet is a book Dr. Todd Sinett wrote for people who feel their back pain is diet-related or digestive-related. The first thing Dr. Todd Sinett has in the book is the digestive inflammation test to see if your diet is causing the back pain. Culprits may include anything from caffeine, sugar, alcohol, constipation, diarrhea, or stomach upset. On the other hand, if the back pain is coming from the digestive system, the book provides a diagnostic nutrition test. “In my book, I have three different diets to try and see if we can do everything we can to cut down on inflammation and irritation on a particular diet. It has meal plans, so you can eliminate particular foods,” said Dr. Todd Sinett. The diet ideally takes three weeks, after which Dr. Todd Sinett advises patients to re-introduce foods slowly. He believes this is the easiest method and allows you the flexibility to fix it on your own. “I like to do things nice, easy and simple. There are other steps and other processes, but you always want to do the least invasive test first and then continue to the more and more invasive,” Dr. Todd Sinett said. The 3 Weeks to a Better Back Book Dr. Todd Sinett primarily wrote this book for back pain sufferers. It is a self-diagnostic and self-treatment kind of book. The book will steer you in the right direction to figure out if your back pain is structural in nature, emotional or digestive. Furthermore, the has guidelines to help you figure out the right formula for you, whether your back pain is structural, digestive or emotional. It lays out options for you to try different treatments, different theories, different foods, or have an elimination diet. And it also encourages things like regular walks, listening to music, tapping, and breathing techniques. Bottom line, Dr. Todd Sinett wants to see what resonates with a particular individual. “One of my favorite nuggets of the book is that there was a study in 1994 where they put 98 people in an MRI machine. Two-thirds had a bulge, and 16 or 28% had discorniations, but these people never suffered from back pain,” said Dr. Todd Sinett. He adds, “The usefulness of an MRI is completely misguided. Research now shows that MRIs are more harmful than helpful in diagnosing back pain. There are a lot of myths that we need to re-educate the public, so they can be empowered to fix their own back.” The Ultimate Backbridge Stretch Book Dr. Todd Sinett found the commonality on structural treatments for people and people’s back pain. And one of the commonality is that we’re suffering from too much flexion or too much forward posture. “We need to do the opposite of bending forward. So, I designed a product called the Backbridge, where you lay over 2 minutes in the morning, and 2 minutes in the evening,” says Dr. Todd Sinett. He adds, “It provides an essential progressive extension to one’s spine. It re-aligns the spine, posture, and structure. And it also relieves a lot of back pain. The book also contains stretch routines to regain flexibility. According to Dr. Todd Sinett, the lack of flexibility in our body is probably the missing link when it comes to any fitness. He says bed rest is the worst thing to do. Instead, the best exercise for back pain is walking to circulate blood. Walking is also a stress reliever. Success Stories There are so many success stories that Dr. Todd Sinett achieved while helping people over the past 20 years. He says back pain is not normal and is completely debilitating. And what you want to do is to try and get to the cause of the back pain, address and fix it. “I want people to make decisions from strength and not from weakness. And I don’t want them to reach false conclusions. It’s not so much what is a healthy diet. But rather it’s about what is a healthy diet for you,” said Dr. Todd Sinett. The Sinett Solution Formulating The Sinett Solution was Dr. Todd Sinett’s aha moment. He recalls making a New Year’s resolution to have oatmeal every day for breakfast. For lunch, it’s salad and lean protein. And for dinner, lean protein and vegetables. But apparently, the diet was unhealthy for Dr. Todd Sinett. He was gassy, bloated, and had a stiff neck. “And the only difference was me eating oatmeal every day for breakfast. So, what I did was, I stopped having oatmeal. I went back to having eggs, whole grain toast, whole grain cereals, peanut butter, and jelly sandwiches,” said Dr. Todd Sinett. He adds, “I think back pain is not the problem, but rather the inflammation factor that winds up in your back. So, what we want to do is get rid of the inflammation. The inflammation can be structural or postural. Hence, we address this first.” Emotional Inflammation Dr. Todd Sinett believes that what we want to know is how our emotions and our stress is impacting our body. Or finding the answer to what is creating a physiologic effect on our body. “Emotions are not just psychological. It creates a physiologic response. To fix that, exercise helps, as well as meditation, talking to a therapist, seeing a psychologist or psychiatrist. What you want to do is reduce as much inflammation from the emotions as much as possible,” said Dr. Todd Sinett. He adds, “If you get balance in those three areas, the likelihood of having back pain severely diminishes and decreases. A lot of these things are very much inter-related. Our structural system, emotional system, and digestive system are linked.” Troubleshooting Dr. Todd Sinett says if a chiropractor, physical therapist or massage therapist are not helping, there are other natural approaches and natural healing such as trigger point injections which are a bit more invasive. For diet issues, see a nutritionist. Or see a gastroenterologist to get tested. If you have emotional problems and having trouble managing stress, see a stress management counselor. You can also do biofeedback to monitor response for stress. It can also teach people how to get their body into a relaxed state. Or see a therapist or psychiatrist. “One of the main problems with our back pain is that our treatment is based on who you see is what you get. And not really what you have,” said Dr. Todd Sinett. “We want to make sure you are in the right place first because that’s when you are going to have success. We want to smart about the approach.” He adds, “Solving your back pain is a lot simpler than you think. You don’t need to be okay with back pain on a level of two out of ten. I don’t want you to live your life around your back pain. Plus, I want to address all the situations and solutions head-on. And allow you to live a very happy, active, healthy life. Because you don’t need to be living with your back pain.” Bio Dr. Todd Sinett is a pain expert and chiropractor. In his bestselling series of books, including 3 Weeks to a Better Back, he has introduced the Sinett Solution: the practice of listening to the whole body and treating all sources of back pain on the structural, digestive, and emotional levels (what the calls the “triad of health”). He is a recognized authority in applied kinesiology and has served as a clinical expert for many TV programs, including The View, FoxMD, and Good Day New York. Dr. Sinett has been a lecturer on MSNBC and at the Learning Annex and has been featured in countless health and fitness publications. Get Connected with Dr. Todd Sinett!

https://www.thebreathingclass.com Breathe - The Book: http://amzn.to/2imw03U Breathing Techniques http://learntruehealth.com/breathing-techniques/ Learning The Right Breathing Techniques We all know that we need to breathe to live. But are you aware that most of us do not know how to breathe properly? Well, you're in luck today because I got Dr. Belisa Vranich, a breathing expert who will teach us proper breathing techniques that have significant health benefits. Dr. Vranich's Backstory Dr. Belisa Vranich was a clinical psychologist for 20 years before she got into the business of teaching people proper breathing techniques. She likewise has an extensive background experience in psychometric testing, administering IQ tests as well as neuro psychological evaluations. Then up until a decade ago, Dr. Vranich started going through a lot of stress. After trying out yoga, she liked the breathing techniques and decided to study more on the subject. After gaining knowledge and experience, Dr. Vranich eventually decided to offer a program called The Breathing Class. The Breathing Class We all say breathing is important, but most people often don't know how. Our lack of knowledge of what are the right breathing techniques affects all our health and wellness in every way. Upon signing up for the program, clients are initially made to undergo a functional breathing test. This test can show how breathing patterns affect people physically and mentally. Consequently, The Breathing Class is a lung workout and tailor-made for each client. Dr. Vranich teaches breathing techniques that can either calm the person or make them more alert. Part of the process includes strengthening the breathing muscles, exercising the diaphragm and promote meditation habits as well. "I initially didn't think I'd be teaching meditation. But my class is a breath-centered meditation," said Dr. Vranich. "You can get into a trans-meditative state by breathing well." Who Her Clients Are Dr. Vranich says her clients are from all walks of life. From athletes to corporate executives, each has their program tailor-made for their needs. Based on her experience, corporate people aim to be more happy and productive. Dr. Vranich likewise singles out golfers. According to her, golfers are the only ones with no culture of breathing. Their heart rate is the lowest, and their body is the quietest. Did you know that even SWAT teams and sharp shooters need proper breathing techniques? Surprisingly, a lot of Vranich's clients are from the military. "When I'm working with military and law enforcement, they want specific things," shares Dr. Vranich. "Most of them want better endurance and the ability to cope with stress." Aside from that, they require breathing techniques that can keep them alert for hours. And because the nature of their job is stressful, they need techniques to help them sleep better and deal with pain as well. It is interesting to note that Dr. Vranich applies the 4462 method. According to her, it is called the tactical breath and adapted from the military. Breath counts are inhaling on 4, hold on 4, exhaling on 6 and hold on 2. Dr. Vranich likewise helps clients who were initially diagnosed with asthma. According to her, asthma is the disease of the exhale. After doing a battery of tests on the client, Dr. Vranich can now determine how weak their respiratory muscles are. Benefits From Proper Breathing Dr. Vranich's primary goal in offering The Breathing Class to people is to get them off medication. Hence, it thrills her when her clients eventually can either lessen their medication or completely get off drugs. Dr. Vranich also shares that most of her clients attest that their sleeping patterns have improved significantly after undergoing her breathing class program. A lot of them likewise have reported that they were able to get rid of their acid reflux. Causes of Breathing The Wrong Way There are many reasons why people do not breathe correctly. Sometimes, it may be due to physical or mental stress. Dr. Vranich also says one of the primary causes is also anxiety. "Anxiety can cause you to breathe in a shallow manner and vice versa. The way you're breathing supports that anxious state," explains Dr. Vranich. "When you breathe with your shoulders, your heart rate, blood pressure, and cortisol goes up while your immune system goes down." Another cause of improper breathing is due to digestive problems. Hence, Dr. Vranich stresses the importance of changing the way you eat. "Most people with digestive problems aggravate their condition because they do not use their diaphragm to breathe," Dr. Vranich said. "The digestive system doesn't have the support to do the right thing." Consequently, once we learn how to use our diaphragm, our digestive system significantly improves. Furthermore, it also gets rid of inflammation in our body. Dealing With Chronic Pain Vranich also credits John Sarno's Healing Back Pain book. According to Dr. Vranich, the book gave her a lot of insights on how breathing and chronic pain are linked together. Sarno focused more on the emotional causes of back pain. However, he affirmed that there is less back pain if we know how to breathe with our diaphragm. Common Myths and Mistakes In Breathing Vranich enumerates the common situations wherein we fail to breathe properly: • Failure to move the middle of our body leads our breath to go on top of the body to our shoulders and clavicles. • We are often emotionally guarded. Hence, we fail to breathe from our diaphragm. • Bracing the belly does not make our abs strong. Our core will be much more robust if we expand on the inhale and exhale by squeezing on those muscles. • A six-pack is a beautiful muscle. However, it is not a good muscle because it acts as a muscular corset. It stops us from getting a deep inhale. Hence we have to work a lot in loosening those muscles. Importance Of Breathing From The Diaphragm If you're not using your diaphragm to breathe, your esophagus isn't getting the support it needs. Consequently, this means you will not be able to keep acid reflux at bay regardless of what you're eating. "The diaphragm is like a secondary esophagus," Dr. Vranich said. "When you breathe with your diaphragm, you're helping your throat keep acidity down in your belly where it should be." Basic Breathing Techniques Here are three basic breathing techniques that Dr. Vranich says you can do: • Standing position: Take a belly breath. Know why you are doing it and do it right. Expand your middle, sides, and back. Do this for two weeks throughout the day. • Lying position: Lie on your back. Put books on your belly. On inhale, push the books away. On exhale, let the books fall and squeeze your body. • Seated position: Rock forward by letting the body go and inhale. Rock back as you exhale and feel it primarily in your hips. Dr. Belisa Vranich is a renowned clinical psychologist, public speaker, and the author of Breathe: The Simple, Revolutionary 14-Day Program to Improve your Mental and Physical Health. As founder of The Breathing Class™, Vranich has taught and lectured nationwide on topics related to dysfunctional breathing patterns and stress. The Breathing Class™ addresses both physical and psychological problems related to oxygenation that is out of balance. It also teaches people to breathe in a way that maximizes balanced inhales and exhales. Dr. Vranich has taught workshops that cater to a broad audience. From the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies in Rhinebeck, NY, to staff and clinicians at the San Diego Marine Base. Dr. Vranich also regularly works with corporations and hospitals throughout the U.S., including The Young Presidents Organization; Jump Trading; Flotek, Inc.; UCLA; Sony Music; Coty Inc.; Soho House, New York City; and the U.S. Department of Justice.
