EP19: Mental Game Insights, Part Two


Listen Later

This episode is part two of a three-part series focused on mental game insights. In it, I share practical interventions to help you mentally navigate the often-overwhelming experience of living with vascular compressions.

The specific techniques I discuss include:

  • Goal-Setting (2:55)

  • Self-Talk (16:20)

  • Relaxation (28:46)

  • Imagery/Visualization (45:48)

To support your mental journey, here are some helpful resources:

  • Diaphragmatic Breathing Demonstration

  • Pain Management Relaxation/Imagery

  • Healing Relaxation/Imagery

  • Loving-Kindness Meditation (Compassion)

Although this podcast series is specifically centered on NCS, the mental strategies discussed can be valuable for anyone navigating chronic illness. If you know someone who could benefit, I encourage you to share this episode with them.
