52 minutes

Join me in this second episode with the incredibly wise Rita LaBarbera as we finish our discussions on healing from the 'suicide disease' CRPS, the emotional roots of MindBody disorders, the wide and diverse manifestations of MindBody disorders, the challenges faced by those with chronic pain in the current medical model, the pitfalls to avoid in the MindBody healing world and so so much more. These episodes are a must for all people experiencing chronic pain!

Rita’s ingredients for readiness – to set yourself up for success

Accept the diagnosis and be ‘all in’ – stop doctor shopping, looking for physical fixes and participating in groups that centre around any diagnoses you have given

Suspend your disbelief – go into this with an open mind

Have an optimistic outlook – recognised that other people have gotten better

Have a bit of grit – be willing to take a risk

Have a general understanding that this is not a physical journey that you’re about to embark on but an emotional and spiritual one
