this may be a silly point, but maybe if you put “chronic pain” as well as mind body/neuroplastic pain in the title and descriptions, the algorithm may send you more people. not a lot of people sadly search neuroplastic or mindbody but way more are searching chronic pain

Hello from another highly sensitive person. I too was bullied in my childhood, though was taught to fight back by my amazing mother, thankfully. (I too had loving parents.) But that trauma can get trapped in the muscles and we develop hyper-vigilance that may not ease and that is easily triggered. We don't learn to shake it off the way animals do. Doing Chi Gong, shaking and dancing, havening, and trauma work with books from Peter Levine and James S. Gordon have all helped - but you have a wonderful piece of the puzzle that is helping me get over the top, reduce my tension and lifelong activation and hypervigilance (I was born early because of a violent car accident), and get back to the ventral vagal state that I love so well. I call it "being in the flow" and life is magical when you can be there more often! Thanks for helping me find that again. I am quite confidence the MEFM that worsened after 6 years of being in remission will begin to fade away soon, the pain is beginning to lessen or to spike then calm at a lower level, and the relaxation is extraordinary. Knowledge is power - and you are empowering so many people with these wonderful videos!

Thank you for telling us your story, I too found help through KZfaq after having a slight suspicion I had nervous pain. You are one of the first people I came across a couple of months ago. I also found pandiculation helpful, slow rocking and rolling around on my bed, listening to my body and releasing somatically that way. I listened to what the pain needed and talked to it coaxing out the emotions hiding behind it. I am starting to get my life back again. So I can't thank you enough for putting your advice out there for us to find. 🙏🏻😊💚 Im glad you have your beautiful family and life back.

@butanywhere Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video! I do wonder, though, if fully buying into it is a must to feel any kind of benefits? I'm using all techniques you mentioned for a while now, but my issue is that I do have a disease with other symptoms that are in my face and then I get cognitive dissonance 😅 I kind of need to be careful because my joints dislocate for example, so I need to think about physical aspect, but I want to benefit from somatic work too because I know for sure that if I stress, I make it way worse and it lasts longer.

@painpsychotherapy Жыл бұрын

I'm glad my content is helpful! Good question. Yes, sometimes if there are clear structural or systemic causes, I have people think about how a portion of the pain is neuroplastic and doing this work can effect that portion. This can potentially deal with the cognitive dissonance. Of course I do not know you case, so cannot state that this is what is happening. But generally this can be a useful line of thinking.

Thanks for sharing this Tanner. Just trying to het an idea on time line of your story. Pain started at 24....what year was that and what year was bachlor party/wedding? And when did they shift happen when u were no longer in "chronic " pain? I know u said it was about 8months or so. Thanks again

@painpsychotherapy Жыл бұрын

I'm so glad it was helpful. I believe my pain may have started when I was 23 actually and in total it was around 3 and a half to four years. Then when I learned about these ideas I was basically out of chronic pain after about 4 months, however it took another 4 months to get back to being active and when I first was increasing activity I would have pain flares sometimes.

How do you do somatic tracking when you feel pain in different parts of your body at the same time? Which pain do you observe if it’s in different spots?

@painpsychotherapy Жыл бұрын

A few different ways to do it, as it works a bit different for everyone. For myself I would watch it move around or become more pronounced in different areas ,or I would just focus on one body part per tracking.

Hi Tanner, I have a question. This fills me with hope and determination but after listening to your recovery process I am not sure how to apply to myself. My pain is really random. It usually hits really badly and with a panic attack maybe 3-7 times per week. The rest of the time I get what I call "warning symptoms" and in between is just fear. So I live in constant fight/flight since it could hit any moment. So, when I lay down and do somatic tracking/get familiar with the pain I don't really get anywhere since I am not feeling it at that time. When it does hit it's all I can do to stay calm and just wait for it to pass. Should I be doing somatic tracking when it's at a 10? Thank you! Never mind I saw your other video and learned you should only do somatic tracking if your symptoms are at a medium not a high level. Well, dang....New question: So would you recommend doing the somatic tracking for let's say 15 min per day (scheduled) and then do your best to ignore the "sensations" throughout the day?

@painpsychotherapy 10 ай бұрын

Good question! This can be difficult to do and somewhat personal. I found try to reengage in life was really helpful. This could be taking a course online about a topic you are interested in, starting a passion project at home, connecting with safe people, or doing a hobby. I also have a good video on cultivating indifference that you could check out!

What do you do when you have depression, living in dorsal vagal shutdown but can’t feel your body / sensations (possibly some form of disassociation) ? How do you do somatic tracking when you don’t feel strong sensations in your body at all?!

@painpsychotherapy 11 ай бұрын

This can be challenging. I'm sorry to hear what you are going through. Generally it can be useful to try and reconnect with even slight sensations (like touch or movement for example). Again I can't say what would be best for your case, as I don't know your case fully. I will try to do a video on this in the future.
