Ashley has a beautiful story of healing from all sorts of symptoms including burning back pain and food sensitivities.

Her and I worked together last year to overcome these symptoms, but her primary source of healing comes from the Lord continuing to redeem her identity.

Her story is a beautiful story of redemption and her tools for recovering are inspirational.

I'm starting a new season with TBTH and I'm excited about it.

I have thought back on my own journey and all the questions I had. It was overwhelming to do it all myself, so send me your questions, and I'll answer.

Earlier this year Emilia Cameron, age 10, was in a wheelchair with CRPS, but by April she was bouncing around on a trampoline & playing soccer.

In this interview/ video Emilia, age 10, talks about her journey of CRPS to understanding how the brain can cause physical symptoms, to healing herself through these tools. She talks about how she didn't like talking about her feelings and how she used painting & arts & crafts - to express those feelings. Then she also shares, in her own words, with us which MindBody tools she used to recover.

In addition, Neil talks about what it was/is like to walk with his daughter in the journey of switching from medically focused healing to targeting the brain. He says that Emilia was "trusting and a willing patient" and he sees that as one of the tools that helped her heal. "She trusted completely." In her words she learned to say "I'm brave. I'm strong. I'm okay."

The power of our brain is not to be overlooked, especially when it comes to symptoms in our body.

Everything in this video was released by written permission by Emilia's father, Neil Cameron. Emilia was also given the choice as to which video's of her were & were not shown.

In this episode I talk about thought patterns, mood indicators and examples of a growth AND a fixed mindset. One leads to revising chronic pain and one keeps us victim to the current state of our brain.

A growth mindset is dependent on the science of neuroplasticity - the ability to change, grow & learn. Any time we do those 3 things, our brain changes shape. This is called neural retraining.

The ability to re-organize the structure of your brain is the principle behind unlearning chronic pain. If your beliefs limit you to your current mindset , then you will be trapped by your past and you will remain victim to your struggles, challenges & even your neuroplastic pain.

But a growth mindset does the exact opposite. It allows for neuroplasticity which allows us to unlearn our pain. The bible is full of invitations to grow & change & learn because He empowers us to be freed, shaped & changed. He tells us to be overcomers and courageous. So, this means that having a growth mindset is, in fact, basic groundwork for healing from chronic physical & emotional pain.

In this episode, I have the honor of talking with Dr. John Stracks and his wife Lisa Stracks. (See links below)

It's always insightful to talk with Mind Body Medicine professionals about how emotions cause physical sympoms, but it's another thing to talk to a couple willing to share how that plays out in their marriage.

A big thanks to both of them for their vulnerability and sharing their thoughts on marriage, new relationships, and parenting for those in Mind Body Syndrome/ TMS recovery.

Here are a few of the topics we cover.

1.Seeing Doctor Stracks as your physician.

2.Lisa's role at Cormendi Health

3.Anger - Life is lifey and we will always be presented with emotions that, left ignored, play out in chronic symptoms.

4.Marriage: What does it mean to feel the emotions in a healthy way in marriage or intimate relationships?

5.Relationships: What should those entering relationships with TMS/ Mind Body Syndrome be looking for in a partner?

6.Parenting: How do you teach your children about the mindbodyconnection so they recognize physical symptoms as emotional presenting in the body. They also discuss how to help children to begin the process of identifying their emotions.

In this episode I review Dr. John Sarno's 12 Daily reminders for those with TMS/ Mind Body Syndrome.

As usual, I add my own take on the power of God to redeem our emotions and therefore our pain.

1.The pain is due to TMS, not to a structural abnormality.

2.The direct reason for the pain is mild oxygen deprivation.

3.TMS is a harmless condition caused by my repressed emotions.

4.The principal emotion is my repressed ANGER. 5.TMS exists only to distract my attentions from the emotions

6.Since my back (replace with whatever pain you’ve got) is basically normal there is nothing to fear.

7.Therefore, physical activity is not dangerous

8.And I MUST resume all normal physical activity

9.I will not be concerned or intimidated by the pain

10.I will shift my attention from pain to the emotional issues

11.I intend to be in control-NOT my subconscious mind

12.I must think Psychological at all times, NOT physical.
