Welcome to Episode 35. I wanted to continue the conversation I started last week about Fear language in Trauma healing. But also what if there is danger? What if the systems we need to engage in for our lives to be operating with ease are rife with racism, sexism, fat phobia, trans phobia and so on? How can we use these tools and other ones in a skillful way for our highest benefit?

This episode has a funny blooper in it. Can you find it?

Besides that, I want you to know that I believe your pain is real. And just because we are discovering new ways to reprocess your pain, it doesn't mean it's your fault for having it in the first place.

Your body does what it does. Pain is a part of our protection system. I go through how the brain learns how to evaluate a sensory experience and I've got 3 interesting links to share.

And then I go on a little impassioned plea inspired by a conversation with a friend. Enjoy!

Hello to my lovely super somaticizers of stress.
I love you.
I am you.

So this episode I talk about my getting a rule out for throat cancer, because I've been dealing with this annoying, scary neck pain for over a year. It comes and goes. It's definitely linked to stress. And there was always a fear in the back of my mind that it was something more. Because I had gotten rid of all my other mindbody pain through these techniques but this one has hung around.

So I talk about the importance of a "rule out". And also I share an article about the power of perception - https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/eight_reasons_to_distrust_your_own_perceptions

Dr. Sarno taught that unprocessed emotions, particularly anger and rage were responsible for chronic pain, back pain.

Now with Trauma informed care and Polyvagal Theory the conversation has shifted to safety and fear.

Underlying it all is this concept of Emotional Awareness.
And more important (in my opinion) creating safety with Emotional Experiencing.

There's research that shows, the more granular one is in being able to describe their emotions, the better sense of well-being one has.

In this episode I discuss the reasons why we want to do this practice and the simple skill of the cognitive-somatic tool I call "I Notice."

Here's the link to the emotion wheel article I mention. https://flowingdata.com/2020/03/20/wheel-of-emotional-words/

This podcast is very very late, because my perfectionist brain hijacked my body. The best news was although it was still happening, I knew WHAT was happening and so I had no feear. It was an invitation, as always, to feel.

I invite you to slow down. To start to make room for the subconscious thoughts running roughshod in your mindbody.

When we don't make space for feeling, we need the system to protect us and it does just that, by using it's only tools, sensations, physiological experiences. As the saying goes, you got to feel it to heal it. (wish I had actually said that on the podcast).

I'm back at the gym lifting weights and discussing how talking to our brains are like or unlike the Star Trek spaceship viewscreens. I discuss Frequency illusion, also known as the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon, which is a cognitive bias in which, after noticing something for the first time, there is a tendency to notice it more often, leading someone to believe that it has a high frequency (a form of selection bias). This is why it's really helpful to learn how to talk to your brain and fill up your viewscreen.
