    "The Mother of Mindfulness" Gives Her Take on Chronic Pain (Ellen Langer, PhD)

    "The Mother of Mindfulness" Gives Her Take on Chronic Pain (Ellen Langer, PhD)

    “When we get a diagnosis, we tend to hold it still. Then we assume that it’s going to stay that way or get worse. People hear the word ‘chronic' as ‘uncontrollable' or ‘incurable.' Nothing in and of itself is incurable. All that means is that we haven’t yet found the way to cure it.” In this episode, the “Mother of Mindfulness,” Harvard professor Dr. Ellen Langer, gives her take on chronic pain. Join us to learn about how mindlessness impacts daily life, the benefits of embracing uncertainty, and why noticing change could be the key too healing.

No repeat podcasts please

I love this podcast but am discouraged by the repeat podcasts. There is a lot of information they could continue to cover, and testimonies to garner. I would love to not have repeats especially as the Podcast is only updated so rarely!!

Too much oppression nonsense

This podcast used to be good but lately it’s been excessively “woke” to the point where all the victim mentality contradicts Dr. Sarno’s work. I am an immigrant and a “person of color” living in a conservative state and never have I ever attended a party that made me worry about whether there would be people like me there, or if the white people around me were judging me. A lot of the mindbody work has to do with just living your life to the fullest and seeing imagined “marginalization” everywhere is the complete opposite of that.

There is hope

I should have written a review a long time ago. I had an abrupt start to severe nerve pain that was not helped by any medication or change in diet or therapy. I had this life altering pain for 10 months before I found out about the Curable app. I did the app and I did the 12 week curable group, it was a lot of journaling and a lot of hard work, but I would do anything to relieve my pain being that I was in a place of complete desperation. The success stories on this podcast and in the app gave me so much hope. Its been almost a year since I started this journey with curable, and I have my life back and I’m not in pain anymore. It truly feels like a miracle, but I know it’s not because I did all the work to get here. I’m back to skiing, doing yoga, traveling- all of it. And I don’t live in fear of health issues anymore. A huge thank you to the curable team, you are truly saving lives. I share my story when I can (everyone wants to know how I got better because it was a drastic recovery)- but it really takes individuals coming to their own point of desperation in order to grab on.
