Play is absolutely vital! I'm so glad to have you say that as I've always believed being joyous and playful was essential to recovering 80% from 5 supposedly "incurable" illness. (Though getting off benzos was the first and most important step.) But I've felt guilty sometimes about my need for a "play day" and you've taken that guilt away. Thank you! Facing my grief and trauma first was vital, fully feeling the feelings. Then writing them out, and if any challenging ones remained, dancing them. That helped me process the feelings, then express them creatively, and finally move them physically through and out of my body. Then there's space for the good ones to come it. You are validating so much I realized intuitively by listening to my body. But with a lot of inescapable stress, pain and fatigue worsened. I've had fibromyalgia and ME/CFS for over 40 years. With your help, I'm hoping I can use what I learned before, and by adding pain reprocessing and somatic tracking, ultimately heal completely!

Am willing to change anything . How do I feel my emotions without bringing on pain is my question. I am well aware that my pain is neuro plastic.

This has been challenging for me as well. Whenever I try to sit with my emotions and feel past trauma, even without judgment, I get pain flareups. My last one kicked up a flare for almost a week. Have you found success in this area with therapy? If yes, how are you working on this?

@donnabronner4837 11 ай бұрын

Tanner, I'm 72. I am well aware that my emotional state influences my symptoms. Lately it's an IBS flare. I'm being treated by gastro, but not for my emotional disregulation. I know my symptoms are emotional. My question is: is it possible that after 72 yrs of my brain misinterpreting "danger" signals, that there is little I can do to change it? I feel I work on my mental/emotional state a lot with not very much effect.

@painpsychotherapy 11 ай бұрын

Thanks for reaching out. It is good you have insight into your symptoms. Yes, it is possible for neuroplastic pain and symptoms that have occurred for decades to resolve. Generally a mind-body approach can take longer to resolve if they have been occurring for longer, as the brain has learned them really well. Keep going!

Hi Tanner - does fibromyalgia classify as a mind/body concern?

@aWOKEn1445 11 ай бұрын

Yes, definitely!

@sandramedina9482 11 ай бұрын

Does cfs count as mind-body?

@painpsychotherapy 11 ай бұрын

Yes, it can be! Of course it is important to have structural/physical causes ruled out.

@painpsychotherapy 11 ай бұрын

Yes, in my opinion it is. However, it is important structural/physical causes have been ruled out.

I wonder then if it might be ok for those of us in constant horrible pain to take meds for a while so we can break the cycle while we do the work????

@painpsychotherapy 6 ай бұрын

I cannot advise on medication. I have seen people recover both ways (taking medication or not taking medication). This would be a personal choice, but of course consult with your physician.

Hi tanner. Mine started since being addicted to sleeping tablets zopiclone. Can this do this to ur body 😢😢😢

@painpsychotherapy 6 ай бұрын

I can't speak specifically to this medication. But addiction can trigger Neuroplastic pain and symptoms. I wish you the best in your healing.

Do you react with indifference i.e. ignore the pain or acknowledge its presence i.e. notice/scrutinize it (in terms of its quality, intensity, character, extent, duration)? Some Mind-Body coaches are asking the poor sufferers to 'embrace' the pain, which IMO is perverse, albeit poetic😊. And how does accepting the pain square with not focusing on it? Contradictory, to say the least.

@painpsychotherapy 10 ай бұрын

Yes, the approach really depends person to person. Personally when I was in pain at times cultivating indifference was helpful and other times approaching it with somatic tracking and cultivating short term acceptance was helpful. So it can take some exploring to see what works best.

YES! It’s so hard to know!!!!
