In episode 284 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked back in with Daniel John. Daniel is the Founder of the mental health platform ‘You, Me & Anxiety', which he founded in February 2018 to try and tackle the stigma around anxiety, provide him with a channel to voice his own experiences of anxiety and amplify the voices of others. We first checked in with him in JCIP #60, where we discussed the origins of the platform, the skills it gave him and his experience of anxiety, panic attacks, childhood bullying, his religious upbringing and much more. Since we first checked in, Dan decided to take a break from the platform for his own mental health. He was experiencing difficulties in his work and career, which was causing him significant distress. He went on holiday to Lisbon in Portugal for a week with a friend in November 2022 and had a life epiphany. He then took the decision to leave the job he was in and go travelling for three months. However, whilst he was travelling, he started to experience strange symptoms, including exhaustion and chronic pain, which he'd never experienced before. He tried toughing it out but in the end it got too much for him and he made the decision to come home and sort it out. After not receiving the best advice from his GP, he decided to go privately and was told the issue may be caused by bacterial overgrowth in his gut, where his immune system was weaker because of the workplace stress. After a period where he thought it was getting better, at the end of that year, the pain and fatigue came back and Dan began to believe the symptoms were psychological. One day he saw a book in his mum's house called ‘The Mind Body Prescription' by John E. Sarno. He read it and after reading it once, his symptoms went down by roughly 30%. Now, whenever he feels these symptoms flare up again, he re-reads the book and uses it as a literal mental and physical tool to help his mental health. He went back out travelling again, enjoyed it and has now returned to the UK where he is back in a stable place with his career. In this episode, we discuss: why he's starting the platform back up again and his goals for this next chapter, what has changed and stayed the same in the mental health conversation since we first checked in, and the types of voices he wants to amplify on the platform going forward. We then discuss that continued mental health journey, the emotional build-up which may have been at the heart of that distress and pain and the relationship between physical health and mental health. And finally, for the first time, we discuss Dan's relationship with his father, which may explain the origins of some of the experiences we discuss and why he's reacted the way he has in these periods of his life.

 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. My video: Cure back pain forever!? https://youtu.be/0EFlmeFTJDUMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast.A/Cure-back-pain-forever.mp3

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Melissa Griffiths discuss:The connection between the brain and body. The anxieties that we experience today (and why, biologically, they show up in the way they do). Why lawyers are more prone to stress and anxiety than other professions.How HeartMath can assist in dealing with unwanted emotions. The single most effective technique people can use when feeling stressed and overwhelmed.  Key Takeaways:It is scientifically proven that the brain and mind can impact the physical body. Your body doesn't know the difference between being chased by a tiger or an upcoming deadline. It is up to us to bring ourselves back into balance rather than live in a state of constant stress. Stress is any change in your environment that requires your body to react and change. Not all stress is bad, but it does need to be balanced and not take over our everyday existence. The body knows how to communicate. Unless there has been an accident, there is usually something emotional behind the pain in your body. "We can control how we respond to stress, which is really important because it means we don't have to be victims to our own emotions and thoughts." —  Melissa Griffiths Thank you to our Sponsors!LegalEase Marketing: https://legaleasemarketing.com/Moneypenny: https://www.moneypenny.com/us/Practice Panther: https://www.practicepanther.com/ Episode References: Book: The MindBody Prescription by John E.

Lipton, Ph.D.: https://www.amazon.com/Biology-Belief-10th-Anniversary-Consciousness/dp/140195247X About Melissa Griffiths: For over 25 years Melissa lived by the hormones of stress. As a high-performing business development executive, Melissa spent every workday (and most weekends) focused on generating revenue. She worked exclusively in professional service firms where she ran national sales teams, worked with Fortune 50 companies, and closed multi-million dollar deals. In 2016 Melissa was forced to slow down when she suffered a freak accident that left her with adrenal fatigue, migraines, and depression. It took her 2 years to heal, during which time she went through a myriad of emotions from frustration and anxiety, to stress and overwhelm. In healing herself, she came to realize that her true value was synthesizing everything she had learned to teach others how their thoughts, feelings, and emotions can affect their physical body and overall health. From working with both lawyers and accountants, she saw how the stress of these professions impacted people, who then took that discomfort back to their home lives. It became harder to work in an environment that fed the stress, rather than helping it. Melissa founded Ascension to share the tools and techniques that worked for her. Melissa is a Certified HeartMath Practitioner, a Certified Emotional Resolution Practitioner, and a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner, and is in the process of completing certification as a Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional.  Connect with Melissa Griffiths:  Website: https://active-ascension.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissagriffiths/ Connect with Steve Fretzin:LinkedIn: Steve FretzinTwitter: @stevefretzinInstagram: @fretzinsteveFacebook: Fretzin, Inc.Website: Fretzin.comEmail: Steve@Fretzin.comBook: Legal Business Development Isn't Rocket Science and more!YouTube: Steve FretzinCall Steve directly at 847-602-6911  Show notes by Podcastologist Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

 If the brain is programmed to have pain, no medicine will help. 1. First, we ask ourselves:What want to tell us about the pain?Do we overwork, or do we do shift work?Do we have too much stress?Are we in a relationship struggle? If we know the psychological cause of the pain, then we can adjust or learn to accept the circumstances that are causing our pain. So that remedy works very often!!!!2. Often, we do have pain in the body, that is not related to any physical/medical/anatomic cause. This phenomenon is called phantom pain. For instance, 80% of back pain is just phantom pain, without any physical/medical/anatomic cause.I had so severe back pain that I hardly could do anything…Before, I had read the book: Healing Back Pain: The Mind-Body Connection by John E. SarnoI went to a discotheque, could hardly go out of the car, and started to dance like crazy…The back pain was gone after 20 minutes… 3. If we are chronicle ill, we support our disease with our negative attitude… Even positive thinkers are doing that.Instead to be in control of the pain.Our Guru Bhagwan taught us, just to focus on the pain until the pain is gone and it works for most cases…So the more you have tension, stress, and anxiety so stronger will be the pain!So the more you relax, so lesser will be the pain! And that works even with strong, tooth pain caused by inflammation! Or we can focus on the Lord and repeat again and again Thank you God for the pain…If we can't accept our situation, we can't solve your situation/problem.I have done a lot of martial arts, and I learned instead to resist a punch, just move the body with the punch so that the punch is not so hard… This Aikido strategy is to follow the enemy instead to fight the enemy. Translate that your disease, don't fight diseases, accept and watch them.All of these strategies work perfectly for me!The problem is that people are different, and not all strategies are working for everybody. 4. If we can't sleep, because of stress and pain, apply Lavender Oil on your hand pulses, and the temple of your head. Get earthing sheets for your bed and connect them with the grounding line of your house… So, you can sleep easier and much deeper… and your body heals by itself. You should sleep at least 8 hours!5. Learn to forgive and let go of your problems so you can heal your body much faster…Love and be grateful for your life and what you have. 6. 92% of our worries don't come true.Don't take your life always seriously…Learn to laugh and to giggle out of the heart, because life is a joke…7. Stress destroys everybody! Get rid of your negativity. Simply, feel the pain, the negative emotions, and let them go! 8. Do things that relax your body and mind… Do the sport, meditation, yoga, Qigong, Hypnosis, Breathing exercises, and Sex….9. Don't eat sugar, oily food, and junk food or take drugs. Instead, eat non-processed food like fresh vegetables such as salad and fruits… That will change your emotions and life positively. My Video: Learn to reprogram your brain to reduce your pain. https://youtu.be/Xnsq-GepeisMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast2/Learn-to-reprogram-your-brain-to-reduce-your-pain.mp3

Have you ever held back tears or anger in your life? I know I have, but eventually it's better for our emotional and physical health to let them flow through, so eventually they can move past, and in the process heal us long-term, both mentally and physically. When we hold emotions inside, they have so much power, even if we don't know it. Even the power to make us physically sick years later. Because our subconscious can hold on forever to our emotions... like hate, anger, guilt, or regret. Eventually, possibly manifesting in physical illness. Our emotions also can affect how our lives turn out... if we act against or suppress our emotions. What we resist, persists. So our denied emotions can keep coming back, or even worse, lie dormant in our subconscious, and still have an effect our physical well-being indefinitely. So be sure to take time, to let emotions in and then let them out, by crying, mourning, feeling, or any other way that works for you, even if you can't express them in the moment. It's so important to not just control our emotions at times, but also to not take others' behaviors personally. If we act with our emotions leading the way, we might act like a child when she does something "wrong." We want to communicate from a place of clear and calm thinking, and not out of anger. Eventually, though, it's imperative that we allow time to let it all go, pass through us and on its way, away from us.

The most dreaded phrase you can receive from a doctor or a friend: “it's all in your head.” Many people who have walked through the fires of physical pain have experienced the sinking feeling in their stomachs when someone suggests that their pain is in their head, because it feels like the person is accusing them of making up their pain; it feels like their pain is invalidated. Since our goal at Heal is to provide a holistic view of pain and healing, it would be as unfair to say that your pain is not real as it would be to suggest that physical pain never has mental and emotional roots to it. God designed our bodies to be interconnected, and often the unconscious lies we believe have huge impacts on our physical health. Joelle Jensen has experienced this firsthand, and I cannot wait for you to hear her testimony. After 25 years of chronic back pain, a technique addressing her anxieties and internal pressures completely relieved her pain. Considering the gospel, it makes total sense that God could both validate Joelle's pain and use a modern technique to heal her of it. Y'all. This episode is gold.

Sara speaks to the desperation, confusion, and anger she experienced as she was seeking answers within the medical system and her introduction to the possibility that the pain she was experiencing was related to the mind-body connection. She shares the moment her journey with chronic pain shifted, how she learned about TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome), the "TMS Personality", and the work of John E. Sarno, M.D. and Nichole Sachs, LCSW. Sara explains why she decided to break up with her medical family, surrender to possibility, and step into trusting herself to find the answers within.

Your host Dr. Meaghan Kirschling and special guest Dr. Ron Kirschling are back for another book club episode! In this week's book club, Meaghan and Ron break down Divided Mind by John E. Sarno. The book explores the connection between the mind and body and how this inextricable bond impacts our overall health.    The author, an orthopedist, believes there are other explanations for psychosomatic physical pain that aren't related to aging. Dr. Sarno explains that these pains are usually induced by repressed, unconscious emotions. He believes that emotions from our past can trigger many diseases such as fibromyalgia. Throughout his years of research, Dr. Sarno has found that continued suffering is related to patients' reticence to truly accept the origin of their pain. He draws the conclusion that a more in-depth acknowledgement of our emotions and their source can often alleviate symptoms.    Tune into this week's episode of Beyond the Basics Health Academy for a detailed summary of Divided Mind. Learn how our minds and bodies are interconnected, why it is important for medicine to focus on wellness rather than illness, and how our emotions play a vital role in our everyday physical experiences.   Quotes • “The real dichotomy we face in health care is whether we are going to concentrate on illness or wellness.” (06:30-6:42) • “We are really getting into this situation where we are not treating people holistically; instead, we are being conditioned to treat diseases.”  (07:54-08:00)  • “In general, if there is something you are trying to resist or there's something you're not dealing with, that will continue to persist.” (23:26- 23:31)  • “When there is stress and loss of control, we do see an increase in health conditions across the board.” (35:09-35:18)    BE KIND TO OTHERS, TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, AND MAKE GOOD CHOICES.   Stay connected to Dr. Meaghan and her work: • Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBvlMzs8K94 • Instagram: @oneagorahealth // @drmeaghankirschling • Facebook: One Agora Integrative Health Clinic • Twitter: @btbhacademy • LinkedIn: Meaghan Kirschling • Clinic Website: https://www.oneagorahealth.com/   Podcast production and show notes provided by FIRESIDE Marketing

This episode is inspired by the work of Dr. John E. Sarno. Dr. Sarno had a hands-on medical practice, treating thousands of patients for back pain and a host of other conditions. His work has helped bring an essential awareness of the mindbody connection. He became the world's leader in treating psychosomatic disorders. Having passed away only a few years ago, his wisdom and medical findings are neatly preserved for us in his lectures, interviews, and books. His final book is an accurate summary of his final conclusions and it's titled, The Divided Mind, The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders. Takeaways from this episode: What is a psychosomatic disorder? Dr. John Sarno describes a psychosomatic disorder as pain or illness created in the body by the mind. Why would a person's mind create a psychosomatic disorder? When the unconscious decides that certain feelings would be more destructive if expressed, it creates a distraction via pain or illness, directing attention towards the body and away from the feelings and emotions. How does Dr. Sarno describe the "symptom imperative?" When a symptom is taken away by an artificial means, such as a medical drug, or placebo and a new symptom arises in a different form.

Emotions in the Body  with Dr. Joey Mattina When we feel pain, the first thing we think of is the possibility of a physical health condition. It may be an injury, muscle or tissue damage, soreness from lousy posture, and so much more. However, we don't think about how these pains may be emotions in the body—emotions that manifest physically. When you truly tune into your mind and body, you'll understand that your pain is so much more than what's on the surface. In today's episode, chiropractor and healer Dr. Joey Mattina joins us to shed light on the deeper mind and body connection. He explains how stress and trauma manifest as physical ailments in our bodies and how we can access them. Joey also emphasizes the importance of proper breathing in modulating our body's nervous system. Tune in to this episode to know how you can take the first steps in understanding and dealing with emotions in the body! Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Learn the top-down and bottom-up approach in accessing our body and brain. Discover how trauma is tied to pains in different areas of the body. Find out what the pain-body is and some ways of dealing with it.

The top-down approach is talk therapy, while the bottom-up approach is bodywork and getting into our bodies. As a chiropractor, Joey uses a combination of the two. One of the chiropractic field's major arts is getting the best treatment for something, not merely a physical ailment. A lot of times, nervous system issues tie down to past trauma and stresses in life. Tune in to the full episode to hear Joey's experience uncovering emotions in the body during a myofascial seminar! When the Person is Not Ready Everybody's different. Joey tries to tune into people and their emotions in the body based on his experiences and personal healing journey. He's the most present in life when he puts his hands on somebody. He suffered from abuse when he was a child. He had issues talking about it and having people touch him. When people aren't ready, let them walk through the door, either verbally or nonverbally. People don't respond well when forced. Processing Emotions in the Body It's a lifelong journey. It takes the right time and life experience to be ready to access it. Research has shown that ailments in different areas of the body correspond to different traumatic life experiences. As a practitioner, it's all about matching the patient's vibration to invite a healing environment. How Not to Take in the Subtle Energy of Accessing Trauma As long as he can continue doing the things he enjoys, he stays grounded. With his turbulent childhood, he had always been learning how to process and modulate stress. His practice requires him to change energy every half hour interacting with different people. He knows it will get to him if he doesn't take the time to be with himself. Joey continues to work on setting boundaries. The Importance of Feeling Empowered to Care for Our Health More than cracking, he's more in the realm of helping patients not see him. He views himself as someone who can bring out the best in people, get in their bodies, and heal their wounds. Touching people in the right way and making them realize they can change their life is the power of chiropractic care. Dealing with the Pain-Body The pain-body can be multiple things. It can be a specific traumatic event, a negative pattern you're in, and something that happened before you. The biggest thing is trying to understand where your pain originates. There are many different therapeutic ways to understand your pain. It's about experimenting and finding what works best for you. Acknowledgment is the first step towards healing. The General Theme in Chiropractic Care His objective in his practice is to get patients out of the physical pain they're experiencing. A lot of the general aches and pains are biochemical. Regular bodywork and adjustment are suitable for the actual physical nature of the body. Working with athletes is different from working with the general population because they're dealing with specific torn muscles. When he starts to see people more often than he would like to, that's when it essentially becomes a therapy session. Many aches and pains in the body can also root from not breathing enough and having a tight diaphragm. Stuck Breath Breathing is an automatic function of the body that we don't have to do consciously. It is affected by the nervous system, including the sympathetic fight or flight. When there is constant stress, we get chronic shallow breathing, and the stress hormones stay high. Taking ten deep breaths can help lower your blood pressure and reduce cortisol. A lot of what shows up as physical ailments in the body comes from the nervous system. Taking deep breaths is a way to teach the nervous system how to modulate. What Is Box Breathing? It's a four-second deep breath-in, four-second hold, four-second breath-out, and another four-second hold. Wim Hof has done a lot of this breathing exercise. Box breathing tells the body that things are okay and lowers the nervous system response. The pain you experience under incredibly stressful things may occur because of so much tension in the body. Voicing Out Trauma It's something that lives with you for the rest of your life. So, it's about how comfortable you can get with it. Everybody's going to process it differently. There's no shame in feeling nervous when you start talking about and processing trauma. We all live with different pains; we have unique journeys. Don't be too hard on yourself. Feeling Radically Loved Joey feels radically loved when he's giving his best self to everybody else in his life. While he can't control who loves him, he can control what he's putting into the universe. Being radically loved means fulfilling his purpose. 5 Powerful Quotes [07:26] “What's super interesting about it is everybody's different. And, you know, I'm always learning every single day. I can only--I just do the best I can based on my experiences and things that I've been through in my own healing journey.” [09:39] “I'm still processing but but you know, it's a lifelong journey. But yeah, I you know, I think a lot of people when something like that happens, we tucked it away, we compartmentalize and it's something that's you know, we just try to not think about it and it lives in there.” [11:35] “If someone comes in and they're cheerful and joyful, I try to match that. Because when you match somebody else's vibration, you get in sync, and you can then sort of you invite this healing environment.” [12:35] “I find that as long as I can continue to do the things that I know, bring me joy, or my meditation, I stay very grounded.” [17:07] “I just think that touching people in the right way physically, but also just sort of, you know, leaving them with something that says, “Oh, shit, I can change my life.” And, and that's very powerful to me.” About Joey Dr. Joey Mattina, DC, is an LA-based expert chiropractor. He is the head chiropractor of the LA Clippers. He has also worked with Dr. Dennis Colonello, a legendary chiropractor and Peak Wellness's founder.

Are you suffering from chronic pain and have already tried a lot of different treatments but still no results? Your pain may have an emotional root. Learn more about an alternative way of treating chronic pain as I interviewed Kent Bassett, one of the directors of the documentary film This Might Hurt, and Dr. Howard Schubiner. We talk about their film that addresses the fact that sometimes pain can have emotional causes and how you can take the steps to heal and eliminate pain. “There's no such thing as negative emotions. Emotions are there to help, protect, and alert us.” - Dr. Howard Schubiner “Roughly 30 - 40% of people who come to see a doctor do not have a structural problem for which their symptoms are attributable to. The vast majority of people with chronic pain do not have a structural injury.” - Dr. Howard Schubiner “Pain in a way is a fascinating window into the mind-body process that we all deal with all the time that has so much richness and texture that we're often not aware of.” - Kent Bassett What You Will Learn From This Episode The relationship between emotional trauma and chronic pain How we can deal with pent-up emotions (like anger) to help mitigate physical pain How the majority of people who have chronic pain do not have a structural problem/injury 2 factors that drive pain to become worse or chronic Why traditional doctors/medicine are hesitant to use this kind of treatment How this treatment is proven to be effective The 4 steps to healing chronic pain using the mind-body connection Is relapse possible once a person had been healed How we can find safety within our own bodies About Kent Bassett: Kent Bassett is an Emmy-nominated editor and director from Arizona. Much of the drive to make This Might Hurt came from his own struggle with pain as a 22-year-old. Unable to type or even turn a doorknob, he was forced to drop out of college. Although he saw several doctors and tried physical therapy, strength training, and was put on opioids—his pain grew steadily worse. It wasn't until he had an insight into the role of the brain in triggering real physical pain that he was able to completely recover. About Dr. Howard Schubiner: Dr. Howard Schubiner is the Director of Mind-Body Medicine Program at Ascension Providence Hospital and a Clinical Professor at Michigan State University. He has been treating chronic pain patients for nearly two decades. He is recognized as a leading researcher and physician in the field of pain medicine.

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. Jennifer Bristol: [00:34:46] He's actually passed away. Alyssa Scolari: [00:34:48] Oh, I am horrible human being. Jennifer Bristol: [00:34:57] But Nicole Sachs, she's a therapist who practiced with him and she also has a book too called Journal Speak". And that's another good one. She still practices. Alyssa Scolari: [00:35:11] Well, yes, books are still available. May he rest in peace. Jennifer Bristol: [00:35:20] And "Mindbody Prescription" is another one of his books. Alyssa Scolari: [00:35:24] Oh, okay. See, thank God we have you here. Do you want to be the host of this podcast? Cause I'm failing royally today. Alright, so yeah. Read more into this stuff. If you struggle with chronic pain and you can't find answers, this might be the right answer for you. And I just want to thank you for coming on today. I know that you are growing a human and you have a lot going on. I know your practice is booming. If people want to find more about you, are you accepting new clients right now? Jennifer Bristol: [00:36:01] So I have two offices, one in Oradell and one in Middletown, my Oradell office, I'm not accepting new clients. For Middletown, I am. Not many, but I am. Alyssa Scolari: [00:36:13] I mean, yeah. Yeah. Well, if you would like to learn more about Jen, you can go to her website, which I will also link on the show notes, which is embracingstages.com. And I appreciate you chatting with me today. Jennifer Bristol: [00:36:27] Thank you so much for having me. Thanks for listening, everyone.

Dr. Kirsten Fliegler is a Clinical Psychologist in New York City who specializes in mindbody disorders. She worked closely with the late Dr. John E. Sarno, who popularized modern mindbody treatment and coined the term Tension Myoneural Syndrome (TMS) to describe certain psychogenic conditions.She gives an overview of TMS and its treatment, examines how personality and environment can affect one’s likelihood of developing chronic pain, and explains why it’s healthier to experience one’s raw emotions, rather than suppress or intellectualize them. This interview was conducted as part of the mindbody mini-series (episodes 006 - 008).

Chrissy Papetti is the most dedicated person I have ever known from such a young age. She's always been dedicated to dance, her family, her academics and her closest friends. Dance was ALWAYS, behind her family of course, number 1. This girl can dance her heart out and make the whole room feel in awe. After an extreme injury came a life changing time in her life and career at the very peak of it all. Chrissy does an amazing job relating how she had to uproot her dreams and plans to find another way of exerting that same energy and passion for what she was all about, and instead launch into who she was about to become. My favorite quote that I think we could probably all relate to on any level and already have/will bring up again and again on this podcast, is “An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means that it's going to launch you into something great. So just focus, and keep aiming.” Links: Enneagram Test Human Design episodes: Jenna Zoe on That's so Retrograde Jenna Zoe and Erin Claire Jones on Let it Out with Katie Dalebout The highly spoken about Jessica Eley Unplug Meditation app The Power of Habit on Amazon The Divided Mind by John E.

  Today we’re going to talk about your magnificent mind. Specifically your magnificent unconscious mind. When I say magnificent I really mean it – because that’s what it is. Do you have a knack for getting in your own way? Often our beliefs, attitudes and behaviors don’t support our goals in both our business and personal lives. This episode will show how you can make positive shifts to get more of what you want out of life. In this episode, I will explore the unconscious mind. I will talk about what the unconscious mind is and the 4 important things you need to know about it. I will then look at how you can use that knowledge to create a shift on an unconscious level that will create lasting positive change.   How most of us are in the habit of getting in our own way The difference between the brain and the mind What the mind-body connection is That terms unconscious and subconscious when describing the mind The differences between the conscious mind and the unconscious mind How the conscious and unconscious mind work together That the conscious mind is the source of all learning, behaviour and change How the unconscious mind is active in 92% of all brain activity What the Reticular Activating system is We become what we habitually perceive How your unconscious mind is always listening and that includes your internal thoughts and beliefs What Timeline Therapy is The unconscious mind remembers everything How the unconscious mind keeps us in our comfort zone How I had to step out of my comfort zone when I became a coach Once you start to step out of you comfort zone, you’re going to discover how much more you can do: Become keenly aware of your focus Say it the way you want it Feel it the way you want it Repeat, repeat, repeat That a greater perspective will give you more choices so you can choose what is right for you.

One of the people who swears by this man’s approach to back pain is Howard Stern, who claims that this natural, non surgical way of making pain disappear worked on him.
