Heal Your Chronic Pelvic Pain

Uncertainty Tolerance: The Skill That Allows You to Move Forward


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m talking about uncertainty tolerance, why your brain hates it so much, and why learning to tolerate uncertainty is actually one of the most important skills required to heal chronic pelvic pain.


If you deal with anxiety, OCD tendencies, reassurance-seeking, flare fear, or constantly wondering “What if this doesn’t work?”, this episode is for you.


We’ll talk about:


Why anxiety and OCD are really attempts to create certainty

Why your brain keeps searching for guarantees (and why that never works)

How intolerance of uncertainty keeps your life smaller and more fear-driven

What uncertainty tolerance looks like in both the long-term and the day-to-day

Why allowing the possibility of a flare is part of how healing actually happens


What most people are missing when fear spikes and symptoms return


I’ll also share why so many people feel like they’re “starting over” again and again, and how having a clear framework for moments of fear and uncertainty changes everything.
