The Curiosity Cure - MindBody Wellness Deb Malkin

I had the pleasure of interviewing one of my favorite TMS educators and most kind and HILARIOUS colleagues....

Here's Dani in her own words: I specialise in the care of the chronic condition/mind-body medicine community, having healed from years of chronic pain and anxiety using mindbody tools myself. My approach to healing harnesses the power of the nervous by training the body-mind into a place of safety and out of survival mode. I teach gentle yoga, meditation and breathwork tailored to the self-healing community and coach in the form of online courses and masterclasses.

Please be sure to check out Dani's work and listen for clues to help you borrow belief that healing is possible for you and that this journey can be full of connection and compassion both with ourselves and with community.

Here's an update about my knee pain recovery journey after my injury or flare in The Galapagos.
When PT was only making my pain feel worse, I uncovered some relational fears and talk you through my current process and how I'm helping my mind and body find safety, create the environment for healing and how I re-found a mantra "Strong Like Simba."

This episode my client Sophie leads you on her journey out of 20 years of chronic pain. It was her idea to name this podcast Glorious Chaotic Mess. And that speaks to how healing perfectionism can lead to full body healing and a change in relationship with the messages from the body and her mindbody connection. She shares how our work together not only made a substantial difference with her pain but in her life as a whole.

Today's episode is part 2 of my knee pain recovery and my trip. I talk you through my next steps, how I kept moving and finding strength and the 4 S strategy I employ to counter the 6 F's from Dr. Howard Schubiner.

I'm back from my trip to The Galapagos Islands and had a experience of knee pain that I couldn't wait to share with you!

I guess that's an upside to being a pain coach, everything is content?
Well I'm sharing with you Part 1 - Navigating Disappointment.

Have a listen!
There will be more coming next week.

Phil de la Haye is an Internal Family Systems practitioner and coach with a particular interest in the mindbody connection and chronic physical symptoms. He has a degree in Psychology and a background in education.

Phil has his own history of chronic pain recovery and he’s passionate about supporting others through their own process of healing.

He and I have a fantastic conversation that can only happen when two people who speak the same language and share some overlaps in our experiences of chronic pain and our healing as well as how we help our clients feel better.

We talk about the impacts of stress on various communities like queer + trans people and the overwhelming overlaps of pain conditions and medically unexplained symptoms that we are seeing.

If you've heard of IFS but have never thought about applying it to MindBody Healing work. Phil shares how IFS can help and his three things that everyone with pain should know.
