Chronic pain can feel like a raging bear inside you. It's loud, scary, and all-consuming. But what if there was a way to calm the bear and find some peace?

In this conversation, Jason Therrien and Destiny Winters explore the concept of pain as a complex experience, influenced by physical, emotional, and psychological factors.

Jason is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Certified Therapeutic Pain Specialist and Certified Health and Well-being Coach, and Destiny Winters is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor.

They discuss a different approach to chronic pain management – moving away from the traditional "find-and-fix" mentality and instead, highlight the importance of understanding your pain, rather than just getting rid of it without real awareness first.

Balancing Exercise With Chronic Pain and Fatigue Working out is a difficult enough task as it is. In this episode, I'm sharing how I get through a workout despite living with chronic physical limitations like dizziness, fatigue, and painful rashes.

Take a listen to my personal approach, including the benefits of exercising in a safe and supportive community environment, and how to adapt what you're doing in the moment when symptoms flare up. 00:00 Struggles of Exercising with Chronic Conditions 01:09 Personal Experience and Gym Routine 01:40 Dealing with Physical Limitations During Workouts 02:18 Psychological Aspects of Working Out in Public 04:09 Importance of Community in Physical Therapy 07:34 Finding the Right Environment for Exercise 08:52 Overcoming Insecurities and Setbacks 09:48 Tips for Low-Impact Exercise 10:37 Conclusion and Encouragement

In this episode, Destiny Winters LPC CRC discusses the often overlooked aspect of social needs in chronic pain management. She emphasizes how current pain research tends to focus on individual cognitive and emotional strategies, neglecting the vital role of community and social connections.

She also highlights the importance of mindfulness and psychological interventions, but stresses that these should be complemented by strong social support systems.

Amy Toth is a physical therapist turned chronic pain specialist with over 20 years of experience. She helps individuals recover from chronic pain by regulating and reprogramming their nervous system. In this conversation, Amy discusses the challenges of treating chronic pain, the role of the nervous system in pain perception, and the importance of building trust in your body's signals. She emphasizes the need to understand that pain does not always indicate tissue damage and that the brain can become overprotective. Amy also highlights the importance of mindfulness and self-awareness in managing chronic pain. The conversation explores the concept of persistent pain and its treatment. Amy and Destiny discuss the importance of listening to one's body and the growing interest in interoception. They also get into the use of imagery and visualization in pain reprocessing and retraining the brain. This conversation emphasizes the need for compassion, understanding, and personalized approaches in treating persistent pain.
