Thanks for sharing so openly. I understand exactly what you're referring to.
Often times these patterns of discomfort are rooted in needs that weren't met during our childhood and they just repeat over and over until we learn to parent ourselves (for lack of a better way to explain it).
The Presence Process by Michael Brown helped me a lot in catching an dissolving these patterns. Might be worth checking out.
You're not alone 🙏
You must be onto something…
There is the pain and there is the suffering. They are not the same. When I am kinder with myself, there is less suffering.
A story for another day, but I have lived 3 days absolutely pain free a few months ago (the weeks after that were extremely difficult having tasted briefly « a normal life » )
I was in contact with something special, your pfp makes me think that maybe you know what I am talking about…
Yeah could be. The links in my bio may confirm that 🙂
I am not sure exactly the type of pain you've been experiencing, but I had chronic siatica for about four years. I was taking between 4 and 6 aleve every day and missing out on a lot of activities.
I was constantly worried about making it worse. I tried all kinds of healing modalities. Stretch, chiropractic, accupuncture, massage, physical therapy, on and on. Nothing provided lasting relief.
Then I read The Mindbody Prescription by John Sarno. I thought I'd share that as well because that book changed my life. Our minds and emotions are much stronger than most people realize.
