Conversation With Chronic Pain Coach Christina Wei
I wanted to have this important conversation with Christina Wei because she is the person who has helped me to significantly improve my lower back pain that I have suffered from almost three years. The solution that Christina has to offer, and what has allowed me to return to exercise and other normal daily life activities, likely surprises you.
May pain started in 2017. I saw many professionals and even when some of them helped, nothing lasted. After working with Christina, I've experienced the least amount of pain and in the morning before recording this episode, I was at the park doing box jumps! Something I wasn't able to do for years.
While my pain isn't completely gone, it's the least it has been in the last three years. Today, I'm bringing you my interview with Christina Wei.
Christina, who are you and what do you do?
My name is Christina Wei, and I'm a chronic pain health coach. Not too many people now what a pain coach does. In a nutshell, I'm someone who helps people with chronic pain, understand and learn about the mindbody connection so that they can heal themselves.
Usually it takes a few sessions to really understand what goes on in a person's life that affects their pain. This method has proven to work but is not very widely known.
I don't do any hands on work, diagnose or treat, but I can help people find the right resources and the right information to heal themselves.
What are the tools that you use to help people to recover from chronic pain?
The main tool is education. Most of us are thinking about pain in terms of only the physical, muscular and structural. This is how we treat it. But chronic pain that is not acute pain or something caused my an injury or cancer, should heal. The human body can heal itself within 6 weeks.
But oftentimes the pain goes on longer. In this case, it's a matter of unlearning it. You have to unlearn the pain, and learn to not be in pain, learn to take care of yourself on may different levels.
Would you say that our pain is not actually physical, it's mental?
One of the biggest barriers is that when people hear about this, they say: Do you mean that my pain is not real? But this is absolutely not what I'm saying. I know that the pain is very real. I'm not telling anyone that you're a crazy person.
I had pain for many years and your, Kersten, had it too. So it's not imaginary. What we are saying is that it's nothing that can be cured on the physical level. It has to involve the mind. It's important to look at the factors that keep the pain going.
Usually, there are two factors: Fear of the pain,
