    S3 E7 | Sex Therapy, OCD, and Chronic Pain with Caryn Sherbet, LMSW

    Caryn Sherbet, LMSW (they/she) is a trans nonbinary therapist who specializes in OCD, chronic pain, and sexual trauma. Often, they work at the intersection of all three. Caryn talks about how patterns of avoidance tie all three together. They talk about the need to move away from "fixing" and "controlling" in order to heal. They talk about learning to tolerate existentially intolerable phenomena. They talk about making sacrifices in order to be true to yourself and true to your body. And they talk about how healing does not happen easily for everyone. Healing, sometimes, is a long, deep project, especially for people living with a lot of trauma and with a lot of fear. We talk about managing expectations in Pain Reprocessing Therapy. Caryn highlights the difficulties the trans community faces when it comes to feeling “safe.” And let me say: we, as a society, need to do better. We need to create the possibility of safety for all people. That includes trans people. On that front, we have a lot of work to do. This is a great conversation. Join us. Also, in this episode, Caryn and I discuss various therapies, most of which are referred to by acronyms. So – if you’re interested, or if you’re confused – here’s a list of the therapies we mention: PRT: Pain Reprocessing Therapy CBT: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy DBT: Dialectical Behavior Therapy IFS: Internal Family Systems Therapy ERP: Exposure and Response Prevention (treatment for OCD) ACT: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy – Find Caryn: Website: www.carynsherbettherapy.com Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/caryn-sherbet-new-york-ny/1043122 – Find Sean: Visit my website: Request a consultation for individual therapy Click here to: Ask a question on the podcast – Other Resources from Today’s Episode: Kristina Armenakis: www.kristinaarmenakis.com B.

    S3 E6 | How To Handle Shame (Pt 2) with Ellen Ronka, LCMHC

    Shame is an emotion, not a thought, not a belief. Shame is something to feel. The feeling of shame kicks off negative thoughts and beliefs...but what if you just treated your shame as an emotion? Then you could feel it... and let it move out. Today, Ellen Ronka teaches us how to train out of chronic shame using the same Pain Reprocessing Therapy techniques we already know. We can feel it rather than fear it. We can feel it without "believing" the story behind it. For example, you don't need to believe the "story" that your knee hurts because there's something structurally wrong with it. We know your knee actually hurts because of psychological conditioning. What if you're feeling shame because your brain is just familiar with that neural network? Not because you "did something wrong"? When you see this truth, then you can let go of attachment to the negative thoughts, allow yourself to feel the feeling of shame, and let the feeling pass through you. This is deep work. Join us to learn how your shame undergirds your pain and symptoms, and to learn how to allow and then release shame. This is Part 2 of the conversation. I’d recommend you start with Part 1 and then join us here for Part 2. – Find Ellen: Chronic to Cured Coaching Program: www.chronictocured.com – Find Sean: Visit my website to: Request a consultation for individual therapy Click here to: Ask a question on the podcast – …and you’re listening to Mind-Body Medicine for Chronic Pain.

    S3 E2 | Gabor Maté, Attachment vs. Authenticity, and Chronic Pain

    Dr. Gabor Maté is a physician in Canada. He’s an expert on addiction, childhood development, and trauma. His teachings highlight the conflict between two fundamental human needs: attachment and authenticity. (And, no. He's not actually an interview guest. We're just talking about his work.) People who struggle with chronic pain are the kinds of people who were taught somewhere along the line that we’re not truly allowed to be ourselves. We’re the kind of people who had to give up some (if not a lot) of our authenticity in order to maintain our attachments to others. Chronic pain is caused by fear of sensations in the body, fear of emotions, and fear of the true self. If you’re struggling with chronic pain, this is your invitation to tune in to your authentic self. In doing so, you’re teaching your brain and your nervous system that it’s okay to be you. It’s safe to be you. Let’s talk about it. This is going to help you. – Find Sean: Visit my website to: Request a consultation for weekly individual therapy Click here to: Ask a question on the podcast – Resources from Today’s Episode: When The Body Says No by Dr. Gabor Maté In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts by Dr. Gabor Maté The Myth of Normal by Dr. Gabor Maté – Journal Prompt: What authentic parts of YOU have you had to sacrifice in order to retain your attachment to your family, your community, and society?
