Ever found yourself shackled by an invisible rulebook that dictates how you navigate chronic pain and symptoms? We, Tanner Murtaugh and Anne Hampson, the MindBodyCouple, peel back the layers of the constraints that can often do more harm than good. Our discussion reveals our own battles with the dos and don'ts, from stringent stretching rituals to meticulous eating plans, and celebrates the breakthroughs we've experienced by taking back control. 

As we unravel the web of rules that individuals with chronic pain and symptoms develop overtime, we illuminate the pitfalls of living trapped within these limits. We dissect the problematic beliefs fuelled by misguided associations and fear-laden language from medical professionals, and their impact on us. Join us as we lay down the groundwork for our follow up episode, where we'll equip you with the tools to rewrite your own rulebook, paving the way to a life without pain or symptoms. Prepare to be part of a discussion that's not just about coping, but about transforming the very essence of living with chronic pain and symptoms.

Tanner Murtagh and Anne Hampson are therapists who treat neuroplastic pain and mind-body symptoms. They are also married! In his 20s, Tanner overcame chronic pain and a fibromyalgia diagnosis by learning his symptoms were occurring due to learned brain pathways and nervous system dysregulation. Post-healing, Tanner and Anne have dedicated their lives to developing effective treatment and education for neuroplastic pain and symptoms. Listen and learn how to assess your own chronic pain and symptoms, gain tools to retrain the brain and nervous system, and make gradual changes in your life and health!
