Crushing Doubt

Today, I had the pleasure of interviewing Hasanna Fletcher, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and mind body practitioner from Santa Cruz, CA. Hasanna has been doing therapy for decades, but also found her way into the mind body field through her own experience of pain in her back and sciatica in her leg. Like so many practitioners in the field, she often can rely on trust built from her having experienced the terribly painful symptoms, and the mind body recovery, herself.

In this episode of the Mind Body Connection Series, I explore an in depth view of one particular action step in the emotions column — though it has profound implications for both doubt and power: moment to moment thinking. The idea behind this action step of thinking is to always remember that whatever is going on in your body — from the perspective of mind body issues — is of the moment and always changing.

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 our How To Series, we turn to the kind of symptom profile where people are fine at night, but find the days to be full of unbearable, hard to control symptoms. I look at what tends to make people suffer more during the day, while not suffering at night, just as I did in an earlier video with looking at nighttime symptoms for people who feel fine during the day.

In this week’s interview Crushing Doubt, I’m pleased to have Dr. Dave Clarke, a double board certified doctor in internal medicine and gastroenterology, and the cofounder and president of the Psychophysiologic Disorders Association.

It is always a thrill to get to talk with someone I have helped feel better in their physical experience, but many times this also takes on the form of their bodies bringing new wisdom and insights to help the same sufferer become more powerful and energized in their own lives. On this next testimonial of mind body experience, my friend Rachel comes on to recount our experiences together learning about her symptoms and what they have told us together.

On our mind body connection series, I share my way of thinking about mind body issues and how to use my methods to get better. In this video, I look at how to understand and construct your core narrative so that you can come to a new way of seeing yourself that will change the physiology in which you live. On top of that, this new mindset can open the door to all sorts of new action steps that will help you to alleviate symptoms.

On this episode of our How To Series, I share my tips on how to understand the unconscious mind. This is a crucial part of our understanding of mind body issues and very few people who are trying to get better from this kind of suffering are being given the base level of knowledge of it upon which they can interpret the unconscious motivation of their symptoms

Pain Psychologist and Management Consultant Dr. Jeff Axelbank joins Dan again to discuss his experience with change in organizations, his own experience with mind body pain, and how to address it. The two mind body practitioners compare notes on their way of understanding the symptoms and how to address them and delve into topics such as the impact of multigenerational trauma on pain or how we get stuck in our recovery efforts.

This time around the two dove in deep on organizational psychology and the change it can allow when an organization understands itself, just like might happen with a person. We discuss what needs to happen in the mind body world to get things where they need to be and make sure people have this information at their fingertips.
