Crushing Doubt

This is a live Q&A about mind body symptoms with Crushing Doubt host Dr. Dan Ratner. If you have chronic pain or other physical symptoms that haven’t been able to be explained or helped by medical doctors or other alternative treatments, this information can change your life. By changing the way we think and feel, we can change our actual physiological processes to relieve — or even cure — many symptoms, from head to toe.

On this episode of our How To Series, I discuss how to cope with other people’s questions, opinions, aggression, and even invasions as we try to keep doubt at bay and recover from our pain and other symptoms. Since the mind body experience is not well understood by nearly everyone, we can often have a hard time explaining to others the very things we are just learning to settle for ourselves.

Dr. Dan shows how he faces a variety of triggers in this documentation of getting a vaccine. From the beginning of the journey through to the next day, you’ll hear how he is thinking about the mind body experiences that come up.

Today, I am joined by yet another Daniel! This time, you’ll get to meet Daniel Lyman, a licensed clinical social worker, who was introduced to mind body concepts by Alan Gordon. Through this work, Daniel came to see that his frequent migraine headaches were actually caused — and could be controlled — by the mind body process. He now has formed his own mind body pain clinic, The Mind Body Therapy Center, in Portland, Oregon.

We have reached the fourth and final session of my Three Columns mind body consultation with Daniel, which has been an absolute pleasure. Today, we focus on the concept of action steps and apply it to each of the three columns. The central idea of action steps in my program to alleviate mind body chronic pain and other symptoms is to see new ways of thinking as an ‘action step’ that can change your moment to moment physiology through changed thought patterns.

On this episode of the Mind Body Connection Series, I take an in depth look at the psychological defense behind the mind body experience and how it relates to my three column system. Particularly crucial to this is the seeming contradiction between pain and other symptoms as a distraction from emotional pain versus the body communicating important emotional material through the symptoms.

I look at how you all can handle the numerous experiences of aggression that inevitably come your way from other people. This video helps to organize your experience around what happens in your three columns — emotions, doubt, and power — when someone brings aggressive behavior, words, or feelings your way.

MD Dr. David Schechter and psychologist Dr. Justin Barker join Dr. Dan Ratner on Crushing Doubt to discuss their collaboration in mind body work, including their weekly groups helping people understand the role their minds play on their physiological experience. We talk about how crucial it is to have the fields of medicine and psychology in cooperation with each other in the effort to help as many sufferers out there as possible with these symptoms that bridge the gap between the two.

Today, Daniel and I met for your third session of an actual consultation right here, in the moment, on the podcast. I am so appreciative that he showed the courage and generosity to engage in the actual process with me so that we can bring to all of you a direct view of how the work goes and what it looks like. In this session, we look, in depth, at the power column and how it affects us all in how we relate to ourselves, others, and our symptoms.
