Challenging Pain – From Fear to Fascination


Listen Later

In this episode, Dr. David Hanscom talks with Miriam Gauci Bongiovanni, Pain Coach and MindBody Practitioner.  She shares her journey with chronic pain,

which began with a shoulder injury while rock climbing at age 28. Despite being diagnosed with a lesion that required surgery, she chose not to undergo the procedure after learning the surgeon couldn't guarantee a pain-free recovery. Her pain eventually spread to her legs and arms, leading her to discover TMS through online research. Using a combination of journaling, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques, she recovered from her symptoms within 6 weeks, though she experienced occasional anxiety and insomnia that she managed through TMS principles. Nine years later, she remains pain-free and has returned to rock climbing.
