This Meditation will help you find and process your emotions.
Many of us have learned to subconsciously repress our emotions, to talk ourselves out of them or judge ourselves for having them.
But we also know that what you resist persists.
So sometimes the best way to “get rid of the emotion” is actually to lean into and embrace it.
Emotions are just sensations, and can not hurt you as long as you don’t resist them.
Allowing your emotions and learning to feel them safely will prevent them from being expressed through your body.
Today’s meditation is based on Dr Howard Schubiner’s “Embracing Emotions Meditation” from “Unlearn Your Pain.”

Join me today to hear Hypnotist, Melissa Tiers, as we discuss integrative hypnosis and how it helps with chronic pain.
Melissa has been training clinicians in the use of hypnosis for pain relief for over 25 years and her own chronic pain history was pivotal in the creation of her pain protocols.
Melissa struggled with years of migraines and is now migraine-free through this approach (as long as she stays congruent! Listen for more details as to what that all means...)
We discuss the unconscious lens, how to be more mindful, and how to change your memories through memory reconsolidation
Addressing the subconscious directy is the fastest way to see change.
Melissa Tiers is a multi-award winning author, lecturer, key note speaker and hypnosis trainer. She is the founder of The Center for Integrative Hypnosis, co founder of The Ethical Coaching Collective and creator of Coaching the Unconscious Mind.

Today I interviewed Renee Kammer, who has an amazing healing story. From 30 years of chronic pain and 5 years being bed bound, to now hiking, biking, and gardening.
Stiff person’s syndrome, Ulcerative colitis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Ankylosing spondylitis, Fibromyalgia, Headaches, Migraines, Back pain, Hip pain, Anxiety, Depression, Pelvic pain/ IC, Chronic fatigue, Chest pain and High blood pressure.
Renee joined Alignment Academy and went through all of the exercises in Dr Schubiner's workbook to unlearn her pain.
She got off 14 medications in the last year, and has been feeling better and better!
She now has more joy and hope in her life, and is even starting a baking business with her new found time and energy.
And if you want to apply the work Renee did to your life this summer, be sure and check out my Book Club Integration Group!

In this episode, I interview Tai Kuncio.
She is a fellow moderator in the "Tell Me About Your Pain" Facebook Group. (https://www.facebook.com/groups/695823314550483)
Tai had various pains starting in childhood, which they attributed to being athletic. But she struggled the most with chronic knee pain.
At one point after knee surgery, she was doing physical therapy 4 to 5 hours per day and still not getting better.
It wasn’t her weakness or muscle dysfunction, but her fear that was driving her pain.
Finally when she moved across the world to Africa and gave up the intensity with what she was trying to heal, she embraced the mind-body approach.
She no longer struggles with chronic daily pain, and when symptoms come up she knows how to handle them so they don’t stick around long.
Listen for her inspirational story and what she learned about letting go of the intensity to heal.

This week I share an interview with my client, Lucas. He struggled with several years of anxiety that was getting worse and more debilitating with time. At times it was even difficult for him to go to the store or to lunch with a friend without worrying, "what if I get an anxiety attack?"
After 3 months of somatic coaching with me, Lucas felt like he had found the missing piece. He had already tried meditation, breathing, yoga, acupuncture- all the "right" things to decrease the anxiety in his life.
But this approach taught him the tools he needed to actually unlearn the anxiety- so his brain produced it less and less.

In this episode, I interview 3 women with amazing healing stories. We all met as Moderators for the "Tell Me About Your Pain" Facebook group created by Alan Gordon.
Kristina has a list of symptoms that were healed with the mind-body approach. Including anxiety, eating disorders, depression, hypothyoroidism, adrenal fatigue, POTS, leaky gut, histamine intolerance, insomnia, adrenal insufficiency, and hashimotos.
Callie had anxiety, insomnia, fainting, and neck pain, which she found out was a congenital neck fusion with “creative wiring in her neck”. She was told if she moved her neck wrong and she could be paralyzed, so she had medical trauma and increased fear. Her pain spread through the left side of her body and she began to have joint instability (ankle sprains, knee dislocation, hip popping). She was diagnosed with myofascial pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, migraines, chronic fatigue, unexplained rashes, acne, and had pelvic pain with sitting.

This Episode is what Dr Schubiner calls "The Six F's" in his book "Unlearn Your Pain"
These are natural reactions to pain, but they also cause the brain to amplify the pain or symptoms.
Here are the 6 F's, listen for more info:
"Fear of the pain or other symptom: We fear the sensation of it as it can be so severe and unpleasant; we worry about whether it will go away and when or when it will return; we spend a lot of time wishing it will go away
Focus on the pain or other symptom: We pay a lot of attention to it; we monitor it; we focus on how it feels and if it is changing or getting worse
Frustration with it: We get upset, annoyed and angry at the pain or other symptom; we become resentful that doctors haven’t fixed it or don’t understand it; we become sad for what we have lost
Fighting it: We work hard to overcome it; we try to push through it; and we get exhausted in the fight, especially when we feel we are losing the battle
Trying to figure it out: We spend a lot of time thinking about it; we search for answers online, in doctor’s offices and with alternative care practices
Trying to fix it: We spend a lot of time and money on treatments that haven’t worked; we try anything and everything that might work; we get desperate for a cure; we get depressed when one doesn’t materialize."
The way you react to pain can cause your brain to produce more of it or decrease it, so reacting differently on purpose will help you feel better.

In this episode I put together the 10 biggest myths I've seen around pain (especially chronic pain).
Lots of new pain research is coming out, so if you think you know about pain (like I did as a Physical Therapist), there may be some new findings that surprise you.
Here are the 10 biggest myths about pain, and be sure to listen for more explanation on each of them:
1-pain equals tissue damage
2-If I have pain or symptoms after exercise or food, it means that exercise or food is what caused my pain.
3-The longer I’ve had pain means the longer it will take to heal
4-I will have to re-live traumatic experiences in order to heal from them
5-If I don’t have significant childhood trauma then I shouldn’t have chronic pain
6-If my pain is mind body, I have to have 100% belief before I can heal
7-I need to be perfect at healing
8-If I have neuroplastic pain it means that I’m weak
9-If I have been doing the work and still have pain it means there are repressed emotions I haven’t yet found
10- The goal is to be totally regulated and pain free
