• Episode #133- Embracing Your Emotions Meditation
    Aug 16 2024

    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.”

  • Episode # 131- Life After 30 Years of Chronic Pain- with Renee
    May 30 2024

    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. Renee had several diagnoses, including:

    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. Listen here for Renee's story.

  • Episode #130- Deactivate Your Triggers
    May 7 2024

    This episode includes a 6 minute technique you can do to deactivate your triggers. My coach who studies hypnotherapy taught me this somatic hack to decrease the intense feelings of a trigger. It is not to ignore the trigger or brush it under a rug, but to make it more emotionally manageable so it can be processed and let go. Think of something that triggers you, and try the process along with me in this episode. Best if you can sit or lay down with your eyes closed.

  • Episode #128- Chronic Knee Pain Success Story with Tai- Letting Go of Intensity
    Apr 17 2024

    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.

  • Episode # 127- Unlearning Anxiety with Lucas
    Apr 1 2024

    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.

  • Episode #126- Healing Years of Pain & Symptoms with Kristina, Stacey and Callie
    Mar 8 2024

    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. Stacey suffered for 18 years with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, IBS, Lyme disease, insomnia, body pains, and pelvic pain.

    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. Listen for more about their healing journeys- what they found most helpful and advice they would give others when doing this work. You can find more about Kristina and Stacey's group coaching here: www.christianbrainrewire.com And Kristina's email is www.kristinacarlton.com Stacey has a free "Stretch and Breathe Nervous System Regulation Class" https://www.wholisticallyrenewed.com/fitness And Callie's contact info is coachcalliek@gmail.com or on her facebook page https://www.facebook.com/people/Brain-First-Chronic-Pain-Coaching/61555738854975/?mibextid=LQQJ4d
