        If you're frustrated by not feeling motivated to exercise because you're always in pain... YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

        In this episode, I'm exploring the science behind why it's so hard to stay motivated if you have stubborn pain, and I'll explain WHY your level of motivation is NOT the problem.

            Join the Battling Chronic Pain with Neuroscience Community >> https://www.facebook.com/groups/661471315077252

             

            In this episode, my friend and colleague, Alison Hughes, shares her journey with chronic pain, navigating the health care system and eventually taking things into her own hands by implementing a self-care pain-care lifestyle change.  

            Her pain-self-care story involved learning about yoga and eventually her journey led her to become a yoga teacher.  

            In this episode, Alison and I discuss the common misconceptions around yoga and explore the importance of starting implementing key lifestyle changes to feel empowered and in control.  

            You can join Alison and I in our upcoming 3-day online class, The Foundations of Self-Care for Chronic Pain, happening on October 7, 14, and 21. Learn more and sign up here ==> https://www.alissawolfe.com/foundations

                There is a MASSIVE gap between the care that's available to you in the health care system and the care that your body actually needs. 

                My aim is to at least START to close that gap. 

                And so in this episode, I'm sharing the four essential elements that are necessary to be a part of ANY pain-care routine. 

                No pain management, self-care routine is complete with out these! 

                Be sure to share your "pain-care report card"! 

                And if you'd like to learn more, go back to the basics, and build up your fundamental pain care skills and knowledge, so you can be more successful in your pain relief attempts, check out the new online course, Foundations of Self Care for Chronic pain here ==> https://www.alissawolfe.com/foundations

                        In this episode, I'm covering 4 chronic pain misconceptions and sharing the TRUTH you need to hear.  

                        We're busting these myths:
                        Myth #1: Pushing through pain is the only way to get anything done.
                        Myth #2: You have chronic pain because you're stressed or depressed.
                        Myth #3: You have to spend hours in the gym or PT clinic in order to make or maintain progress.
                        Myth #4: Meditation is the key to relieving chronic pain.  

                        What other myths did I miss? What are the myths that you hear most often that you'd like me to clear up? Let me know in the comments!

                            Listen in to my conversation with a chronic pain educator and pain psychologist, Dr. Anna Redmond.  We discuss the barriers that are preventing you from getting the in depth understanding of your pain that you need, the flaws with the biomedical model, and the connection between the physical realms and the psychological realm when it comes to pain. 

                            Dr. Redmond shares her expertise, smashing some of the misconceptions about pain psychology care and what she needed to heal herself from her own chronic pain problem.

                            Be sure to follow Dr. Redmond on Instagram and grab all her resources and information:

                                Do you believe you can get better? On a scale from 1-10, how much do you believe you have the ability to get better, if 1 is not at all and 10 is I am super confident I can get better...

                                      • Is the Vagus Nerve the Solution to Chronic Pain?

                                        Join the Battling Chronic Pain with Neuroscience Community >> https://www.facebook.com/groups/661471315077252

                                        Let me know if you've heard of the Vagus Nerve or not and what your thoughts are about it! My thoughts… it’s pseudoscience. 🚩🚩🚩 

                                        We DO need to address the nervous system in order to treat chronic pain conditions. 

                                        BUT... Nervous System Retraining goes beyond attempting to stimulate one single nerve.  

                                        It involves retraining the ENTIRE nervous system, including the peripheral nerves, spinal cord, and brain.
