Have you ever felt guilty or ashamed about your scoliosis?

It’s actually a common experience for many people with scoliosis! And there are several ways to respond to it, which is one of the topics I discussed with Kerry Green, LCSW, in this month’s edition of Curve Convos.

We also covered many other aspects of living with scoliosis:

• Finding a better perspective on aging
• Feeling shameful, fearful, or guilty for back pain
• Physical and mental tools for dealing with a scoliosis pain flare-up
• The dorsal vagal shutdown nervous system response
• Potential connections between scoliosis and concussion/traumatic brain injury
• The link between procrastination and burnout
• Using a rock mat for nervous system regulation and pain management
• Fun (and random) summer jobs

We also discussed some of our favorite jump-roping Instagram accounts. Catch the full episode for all the details.
