EP 35: Changing your relationship with your symptoms The Concussion Nerds Podcast
-
- Medicine
Do you avoid certain activities because you fear an increase in concussion symptoms? Do you find yourself anxious about new experiences because you're worried about how your body will react? If you feel like your concussion symptoms are dictating your life, you're not alone—but there's a way to take back control.
Living with persistent concussion symptoms can be incredibly challenging. The symptoms can span physical, cognitive, and emotional realms, causing you to feel isolated, anxious, and even afraid of activities that used to be part of your everyday life. This can create a downward spiral, where fear leads to overthinking, which in turn triggers more symptoms.
It's time to shift the way you think about your symptoms. Instead of allowing them to control your life, what if you could see them as just another sensation? In this episode, Natasha Wilch, a registered physical therapist and concussion advocate, explains how somatic tracking can help you transform your relationship with your symptoms. By cultivating curiosity and trust in your body, you can start to break the cycle of fear and reclaim your freedom.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
👉 How fear of symptoms can create a positive feedback loop, leading to more symptoms and less freedom in your daily life.
👉 Why neuroplasticity can work against you if your brain starts associating certain symptoms with danger.
👉 The concept of somatic tracking and how it can help you shift your relationship with your symptoms.
👉 Practical tips for exploring your symptoms with curiosity, fun, and a sense of safety.
