My six-year-old son taught me the most unexpected lesson about chronic pain during his nighttime potty training journey. It's an experience that reveals how pain is a two-way feedback loop, not just in the body or the brain but a combination of both. This parenting task turned into an enlightening exploration of pain management, bringing a new perspective on the ways we view our bodies and our wellbeing. If you've also been grappling with chronic pain, you might find some insights in our beta training program. It's designed to help shift perspectives at a nervous system level.

But, our conversation doesn't stop at potty training and chronic pain. It progresses towards the harmful impacts of medicalizing normal human conditions. This can cause emotional turmoil, especially for parents trying to interpret and follow the deluge of parenting advice. I share how easily fear and anxiety can creep in and the dangers of diagnosing medical issues in our children. At the heart of it, it's important we learn to take responsibility for our own experiences and avoid the trap of overmedicalizing normal aspects of human life.

Lastly, we explore the importance of action and experimentation in our lives. Whether it's potty training or managing chronic pain, sometimes the simplest solutions come from giving ourselves space, time, and the freedom to not have every step planned out. Recognizing the significance of addressing even small issues that impact our wellbeing, we wrap up the discussion with a call to action. So, get ready for this roller-coaster ride into parenting, health, and human behavior. And don't forget, we have a seat saved for you in our beta training program.

We also discuss how perfectionism can manifest as an underlying fear of seeing ourselves as flawed humans, and how it can cause us to take the "easy" way out, remaining stuck in a never-ending cycle.
