    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.

    S5 E7 | Neuroscience is Cracking the Mystery of Chronic Pain, with Nathaniel Frank, PhD

    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.

    You've said it, you've thought it: "it wasn't that bad." Today, we’re helping you change the lens through which you view your traumas. In this Episode: 🔹 We discuss the difference between enfranchised trauma and disenfranchised trauma. 🔹 Disenfranchised trauma: when the person who experiences a trauma does not have their experience acknowledged as a serious, legitimate problem – and the person is not seen as a serious, legitimate “victim” or “survivor” – and the person is not seen as worthy of attention, help, or resources. 🔹 Many of us who struggle with chronic pain and symptoms have experienced some version of disenfranchised trauma. And what do you do about that? Join us today to go deeper – and to give yourself some real validation, after everything you’ve been through. – Recommended Listening: Tarana Burke on Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky – Find Sean: Sean’s Website: mindbodymedicineforchronicpain.com Sean’s Free Email List: Free Mindbody Advice and Reminders – From Me to You, Every Week Click Here to Ask a Question on the Podcast Sean’s Instagram: @mindbodymedicineforchronicpain – Other Resources Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Dr. Judith Herman | Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence – From Domestic Abuse to Political Terror Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk | The Body Keeps the Score Dr. David Clarke | They Can’t Find Anything Wrong How To Journalspeak, with Nicole Sachs – …and you’re listening to Mindbody Medicine for Chronic Pain.

    Pain psychologist Dr. Dan Ratner has been named the new ATNS Board Chair. A huge congratulations to Dan. Today, he returns to the show to discuss a whole range of topics – from the direction of the ATNS, spreading the word about neuroplastic symptom recovery therapies, “gray area” neuroplastic symptoms at the edge of our understanding, autoimmune diseases, and more. In this Episode: 🔹 A brief outline of Dan Ratner’s 3-column-model for healing: Emotions, Doubt, and Power. 🔹 An overview of the Association for the Treatment of Neutroplastic Symptoms (ATNS), an advocacy group that disseminates information about neuroplastic conditions to build awareness among patients and health care providers. 🔹 Getting past the tipping point so that “your average person will just know…this is neuroplastic.” 🔹 Sticking to the science while answering the question, “What’s gonna be the messaging to the average person?” 🔹 “Gray area” neuroplastic symptoms and expanding the edges of our understanding to help more people heal. This is a good talk, with a true leader in the field.
