How Thoughts Can Influence What You Feel and Do When You are in Pain


Listen Later

In this episode I talk about how thoughts can influence what you feel and what you do. I dive deep in how some beliefs can either work for you or against you when you are in pain.

According to the biomedical model, illness is a condition of the whole person, and treating a patient's bodily parts in separation might alleviate some symptoms without solving the source of the problem. In regards to pain, this model tries to find something wrong in your body, making you believe there actually is a problem. This belief only leads to adaptations that aren't useful to you, making your pain feel worse!

Understanding human health and pain in their fullest contexts is highly important. Changes occur inside and outside your body which is 100% normal and has nothing to do with your pain. Pain depends on how you think about it and how safe you feel in your own body. Negative thoughts and behaviour can perpetuate pain.

You have the ability to change these patterns and move towards progress. You can use The Wescombe Method.

By bolstering your belief, you change how you THINK, how you THINK changes how you FEEL, and this affects what you DO.
