Ep 41 - Chronic Pain and the Cures with Dr. Tawny Kross
Recognizing your inner healing abilities with Susan and Tawny:
- Understanding what the goal is (beyond being pain free).
- How the brain chooses to understand and produce pain.
- Hypersensitivity, noticing, and awareness.
- The need for global learning about chronic pain, fear, and awareness.
Key Takeaways:
- Most people don’t know what pain is and they are living with an understanding of the old pain model.
- There is nothing imaginary about pain when the brain produces it, even if it is a psychological, emotional, or spiritual threat, and not just a physical threat.
- The brain learns by experience, association, and repetition.
- The more you know, the less you fear.
- If you avoid the pain and the fear, you will never allow that pain to heal.
"Pain is 100% produced by the brain, no matter what. The brain is always scanning for threats and danger. It wants to help you survive. If it decides that something is threatening enough, then it can choose to produce physical pain." — Dr. Tawny Kross
About Dr. Tawny Kross:
Dr. Tawny Kross graduated with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Duke University in 2013.
She has worked in a Veterans Affairs hospital for nearly a decade now. Through the course of her practice, she has developed a very comprehensive and integrative approach to PT, which evolved from the necessity of such an approach in her work with the complexities of those who have chronic pain. This includes nutrition, hypnosis, guided imagery, mindfulness among other practices.
Focusing on mental health and being trauma-sensitive is of particular importance, as many of her clients have experienced military sexual trauma. She helps her clients move beyond pain and fear by connecting them with internal motivations, guiding them to see innate strengths and realize their inner healing abilities.
She recently started her own business, Kross Centered Care - Integrative PT, Health and Wellness in order to bring her expertise to more people.
