Crushing Doubt

Tyler joins Dr. Dan to talk about his journey towards relief, with all of its ups and downs. Many will relate to the wide range of his symptoms, to his low expectations for recovery at times, and to the crooked pathway towards trying to get better. His passion for mind body work keeps him going, though, and he has made good gains. Hear the first of two parts to his story.

Dr. Dan Ranter continues to explain the system he has developed over the years for dealing with chronic pain and other symptoms. In this segment of the Mind Body Connection series, he covers the importance of reducing all doubt — through science and logic — in breaking the cycle of fear and nervous system activation that persists in chronic symptoms.

His methods in this area are part of what makes his work different than anyone, even within the pain community, and can give people hope who have not been able to connect their emotional lives with their mind body pain. As is explained here, your thoughts and beliefs, alone, can perpetuate a pain or symptom process long after the emotion has passed. Come learn how to understand and implement this fundamental aspect of recovery.

In our How To series, we look in depth at different symptoms or experiences to provide ways to understand and cope with them. In today’s segment, Dr. Dan takes a closer look at depression. With rising depression and suicide rates nationwide and across the world, it is more important than ever to understand the underlying cause of so much suffering so that we know what we can do about it. Being well educated on the subject and talking about it openly and intelligently in society can go a long way in preventing senseless loss and ruined lives. This video provides some unique insights and ideas on how to handle the ups and downs of the experience.

Pain Psychologist and Management Consultant Dr. Jeff Axelbank joins Dan 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.

In our testimonial series, we explore the individual journeys people experience in trying to get better from chronic pain and other mind body suffering.
