Unlock the secrets to overcoming chronic pain and symptoms by understanding the top five reasons your healing might be at a standstill. This episode of the MindBodyCouple podcast promises to help you uncover what's missing in your approach and how to realign your strategies for more effective results. We'll guide you through the complexities of the mind-body connection, emphasizing the necessity of a strong commitment to this approach and why being too physically focused or caught up in debating your symptoms can be counterproductive. Reflect on your current methods with us and make the necessary adjustments to boost your progress.

Take a deep dive into the interplay between nervous system regulation, brain retraining, and trauma work. Learn how to map out your own nervous system to prevent relapses, and the importance of integrating both top-down and bottom-up approaches for holistic healing. We'll explore the critical role of creating cognitive and physiological safety, and how somatic practices can help foster a more flexible nervous system. Plus, understand the impact of unresolved trauma on your current symptoms and why it’s essential to prepare your nervous system before addressing deeper emotional work. With resources like YouTube content and upcoming courses, we provide the tools you need to navigate your healing journey.

Tanner Murtagh and Anne Hampson are therapists who treat neuroplastic pain and mind-body symptoms. They are also married! In his 20s, Tanner overcame chronic pain and a fibromyalgia diagnosis by learning his symptoms were occurring due to learned brain pathways and nervous system dysregulation. Post-healing, Tanner and Anne have dedicated their lives to developing effective treatment and education for neuroplastic pain and symptoms. Listen and learn how to assess your own chronic pain and symptoms, gain tools to retrain the brain and nervous system, and make gradual changes in your life and health!
