    S5 E12 | What Does God Look Like?: Religious Trauma and Chronic Pain

    This is a long one. And a deep one. (And a good one). Most recoverers don’t say much about this, but most people acknowledge a spiritual shift as they heal from chronic pain. Today, we’re addressing that head-on. We’re making space for you to explore your sense of spirituality, of religion, and even of God. In this Episode: 🔹 I’m not telling you what to believe. I don’t know what you “should” believe about God. Having certain religious beliefs is NOT part of chronic pain recovery. 🔹 And, existential inquiry and existential curiosity are part of the human experience. We don’t want you to repress that. 🔹 Religious trauma cuts people off from thinking spiritually and thinking expansively. 🔹 So, we’re making space – today – for you to explore your own sense of spirituality. 🔹 We discuss the definition of religious trauma. 🔹 We explore the common impacts of religious trauma. 🔹 We get into some fun childhood stories from my Catholic school days. 🔹 We consider an example of what God looks like in literature, recounting the climactic scene in Alice Walker’s The Color Purple. 🔹 And, of course, you get to reflect on you. What does spirituality mean to you? This isn’t your typical discussion about chronic pain healing. This isn’t “10 Tools to Regulate Your Nervous System.” This is deeper. If you’re looking for a door into something meaningful, this is it. – Find Sean: Sean’s Website: mindbodymedicineforchronicpain.com Click Here to Ask Sean a Question Sean’s Free Email List: Free Mindbody Advice and Reminders – From Me to You, Every Week Sean’s Instagram: @mindbodymedicineforchronicpain – Learn About Therapy with Sean: Therapy for Chronic Pain and Symptoms – Other Resources Mentioned in Today’s Episode: S2 E7 | Chronic Pain and Spirituality with Christina Wei Ishmael by Daniel Quinn S3 E12 | Holiday Childhood Nostalgia …Meets Trauma – …and you’re listening to Mindbody Medicine for Chronic Pain.

    S5 E11 | How To Trust Yourself, with Anna Holtzman, LMHC

    Anna Holtzman is a true mentor of mine. She’s a therapist and coach. Anna’s helped many, many clients out of chronic pain and symptoms…and she began noticing that the same patterns underlying chronic pain also keep many people from expressing themselves fully and pursuing the lives they really want. Now, Anna works with clients to help them with visibility: expressing themselves, putting themselves “out there,” and moving into bold self-actualization. In this Episode: 🔹 The connection between chronic pain, staying small, fear of visibility, and healing through trusting yourself. 🔹 Why understanding the nervous system is vitally helpful in moving through the fear of expressing yourself authentically. 🔹 What it feels like, on a nervous system level, to receive negative feedback. 🔹 The conflict between a deep desire to share your voice and the equally intense fear of blow-back and rejection. 🔹 How a therapist’s own emotional work helps them help their clients. 🔹 3 Tools to work with the fear of visibility: 1) Graded Exposure, 2) Co-regulation, and 3) Dialoguing with Fear. 🔹 We go deep into Dialoguing with Fear, and I know that’ll be helpful for you. 🔹 Here are the questions Anna uses to dialogue with fear: 🔹 1. Dear fear, what are you feeling? 🔹 2. What would you like me to know? 🔹 3. What are you trying to protect me from? Join us for a fun, enriching, enlightening conversation. Anna’s great. – Find Anna: Free Self-Trust Workshop: The Melt-Through Method: www.annaholtzmantherapy.com/melt-through-method-workshop Free Let-Yourself-Be-Seen Workshop: www.annaholtzman.com/beseen Seen & Safe Visibility Coaching: www.annaholtzman.com/seenandsafe Anna’s Instagram: @anna_holtzman Anna’s Podcast: How to Trust Yourself Recommended Episode: We Need Your Art with Amie McNee Email: anna@annaholtzman.com – Find Sean: Sean’s Website: mindbodymedicineforchronicpain.com Click Here to Ask Sean a Question Sean’s Free Email List: Free Mindbody Advice and Reminders – From Me to You, Every Week Sean’s Instagram: @mindbodymedicineforchronicpain – Learn About Therapy with Sean: Therapy for Chronic Pain and Symptoms – …and you’re listening to Mindbody Medicine for Chronic Pain.

    S5 E10 | Ketamine and Chronic Pain Treatment

    Today, we’re talking about something a little different: ketamine. Is ketamine the cure for chronic pain? No. But, can ketamine be a tool to help deepen the psychological and emotional work that heals chronic pain? Yes, I think so. Let’s discuss. In this Episode: 🔹 It’s 2026, everyone’s talking about ketamine, so we’re gonna talk about it too. 🔹 We cover the basic facts about ketamine, including ketamine’s ability to create a window of heightened neuroplasticity in the brain. 🔹 We explore the history of psychedelic use in healing. 🔹 I discuss my personal experience with ketamine. 🔹 We investigate the connection between ketamine treatment and healing chronic pain. This is a fun one – with a lot of good information. Whether you’d ever consider ketamine or not, you’ll learn something here. Join us. – NOTE: THIS PODCAST IS INTENDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION AND EDUCATION ONLY. THIS PODCAST DOES NOT RECOMMEND KETAMINE FOR ANY SPECIFIC PATIENT, DIAGNOSIS, OR CONDITION.

    S5 E9 | How To Stay Grounded While Processing Trauma, with Justine Stull, OTR/L

    Does thinking about your trauma make you feel horrible? Maybe you’re already feeling dysregulated? Justine Stull is an occupational therapist, a mindbody coach, a long-time mindbody symptom sufferer, and has a beautifully inspiring recovery story. On the podcast today, she discusses her personal journey with healing trauma to heal physical pain and symptoms. She offers wonderful advice – for you – about staying grounded while processing trauma. In this Episode: 🔹 Growth is uncomfortable, but you can stay out of absolute overwhelm and shut-down. 🔹 Not all anger is equal. Anger towards a random stranger is typically easier to feel than anger towards someone with whom you had an abusive dynamic. 🔹 Start with the easier stuff. You’ll be ready for the harder traumas when you’re ready. You’ll build your tolerance. 🔹 If you become completely dysregulated in your emotions, or if your symptoms flare, you didn’t hurt yourself. It’s okay. 🔹 The exact details of the trauma story are less important than learning to feel the depth of the emotions related. 🔹 You can write/tell/journal just enough of the story to get the emotions activated. Then you can feel, express, and learn to feel okay with the emotions. 🔹 Meet yourself with curiosity and compassion. They are the polar opposites of fear and shame. Curiosity and compassion are the healing forces. 🔹 The purpose of journaling for chronic pain is NOT to fix anything. The purpose is to feel what you need to feel. 🔹 And, at the end of the episode, learn what to do if you feel very overwhelmed after a journaling session. This is a deeply helpful conversation.

    Nathaniel Frank, PhD is an author, historian, and science writer. His book, Healing What Hurts: How Neuroscience is Cracking the Mystery of Chronic Pain, is forthcoming from the Mayo Clinic Press. Nathaniel’s also my friend, and we legit hang out, so it’s a pleasure to host him on the podcast today. In this Episode: 🔹 We discuss neuroplastic healing from the perspective of a science writer. 🔹 Nathaniel was an original Dr. Sarno patient 20 years ago. He tells us about his personal journey with back pain, wrist pain, hand pain, and ibs. 🔹 Nathaniel’s written about the body of evidence and science that supports neuroplastic healing. 🔹 He aggregates scholarly research for the general public (both about lgbtqia+ advocacy and about healing chronic pain). You can read his articles here: www.nathanielfrank.com/articles 🔹 We discuss the parallels between the lgbtqia+ rights movement, to which Nathaniel contributed, and the movement to bring neuroplastic recovery therapies into mainstream medicine. 🔹 Nathaniel also leaves us with 3 Es of healing (Education, Emotional Expression, and Engagement – or Reengagement – with Life), and 3 Ss (Softening, Slowness, and Self-Compassion). This is a great conversation – with a real friend.
