Healing the Root of your Pain Cycle

1 in 10 women in the workplace shouldn’t be suffering silently with chronic pain - but they are. It’s time for that to change.

Is this you? You've visited doctors, tried every treatment, but the verdict remains the same: 'everything's fine.' Yet, you know it's not because you are still living with physical pain or migraines. Here's the truth: all pain is real. Whether it stems from a physical injury or unprocessed emotional trauma, the way it feels in your body - and the way it’s impacting your life - is exactly the same.

Your brain actually processes both emotional pain and physical pain in the same place - so enough unresolved emotional pain, trauma, or stress can turn on the pain signal in your brain. That’s why none of the physical treatments are working - because the root isn’t physical (always rule out a specific physical cause with a medical provider first).

Just because you’ve lived in pain for years, gone to every doctor without success, doesn’t mean that you will be in pain forever. Once medical causes are ruled out, you have the power to completely cure your pain. How? By healing the real root - unprocessed emotional pain or trauma that caused your brain to turn the pain signals on in the first place.

Trauma isn't just a memory; it's a physiological response, etched into your mind, body, and energy. Your system - mind, body, brain, nervous system - reacts instinctively, creating protective armor to ward off further harm. Over time, these defenses build up, with more and more survival energy trapped in your body. Then - a triggering event, either physical or emotional, tips your brain into ‘danger’ mode - and flips on the physical pain switch in your brain. While the pain signals are meant to warn you of danger and keep you safe - they keep you from living and leading life the way you were meant to - pain-free.

There's hope. By healing the root cause - unprocessed emotional pain, stress, or trauma - you can rewrite your story. You can recalibrate your overall system from hypervigilance - always on the lookout for danger (with your brain interpreting this as pain signals) to safety (so your brain can finally turn off the overactive pain signals). People recover from pain all the time - and you can be one of them.
