My best tips for healing (no more common colds, hay fever, eczema, toothaches, chronic back pain): 1. Calm your nervous system with breathwork 2. Sit meditation retreats so you can feel and heal your emotional pain 3. Heal your trauma Thank me later.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is meant fix you. I graduated from mine in a few months after learning to retrain my brain (not unlike physical therapy). A lot of the concepts directly related to my Christian beliefs. CBT is all about practical tools to choose outcomes rationally.
One of the problems with therapy is that the source of your troubles in life is almost never some deep complex thing that you need years of therapy to uncover and understand. Any random dude on the street could listen to you whine for five minutes and tell you exactly what your…

“#ChronicPain doesn’t stop. It doesn’t give days off or holidays from pain—it’s there all the time. “I’m fine” can mean a lot of things but when someone living with chronic pain says it—it rarely means that they are actually feeling fine.” buff.ly/493idVa @DespitePainBlog
5 TIPS TO EASE #BACKPAIN 👇 1. Strengthen your core muscles. 2. Stretch daily. 3. Avoid sitting with poor posture. 4. Take walks. 5. Lift correctly.
I'm still not sure when I'll be able to walk without crutches. My Physiotherapist says it could take anywhere between 3-8months, but I'm not bothered about that anymore. I'm learning to pace things properly and take it one step at a time. Literally 😅

At my daughter’s first appointment at the Stollery children’s hospital pain clinic, she got to meet her team. The first thing the lead doctor said was “we know your pain is real”. With such an affirmation my daughter is going to get great treatment here. #ChronicPain
