The Mind-Body Couple Tanner Murtagh and Anne Hampson

Have you ever wondered why your body sometimes screams "danger" in a perfectly safe room? We guide you through understanding neuroception, the unconscious system that dictates our sense of safety and danger. 

We peel back the layers of potential danger signals our nervous system's can detect, and how this can have a real impact on our chronic pain or symptoms.

Could greed be good? We want you to be greedy! We want you to have a pain/symptom free life full of movement and activity, love and connection, and passion and creativity.

We discuss how greed can support us accomplishing transformation,  but we need to learn to do this without intensity or going into fight/flight. 

Get ready to rethink your relationship with pain/symptoms, embrace a holistic recovery approach, and allow your aspirations for well-being to soar to new, transformative heights.

We are no strangers to the invisible chains of chronic pain and symptoms. Our personal journey through discomfort and the discovery of unconventional healing have led us to question the very behaviours that promise relief, but instead, keep us trapped in a survival state. This episode is an intimate exploration into how these 'rules' we live by may be reinforcing our pain and symptom, and how breaking free can lead to a life of being pain or symptom free. 

Join us as we outline a roadmap to rewriting your pain or symptom rules. We delve into the actionable steps essential for challenging the brain's association of fear with everyday activities. Through sharing our stories and the integration of nervous system regulation techniques like breath work, together with the art of graded exposure, we're here to guide you toward a balance of gentle progression and re-engagement with life. Ready to embark on a journey of transformation? Listen in and discover how to reclaim your freedom from the grip of chronic pain and symptoms.

Ever found yourself shackled by an invisible rulebook that dictates how you navigate chronic pain and symptoms? We, Tanner Murtaugh and Anne Hampson, the MindBodyCouple, peel back the layers of the constraints that can often do more harm than good. Our discussion reveals our own battles with the dos and don'ts, from stringent stretching rituals to meticulous eating plans, and celebrates the breakthroughs we've experienced by taking back control. 

As we unravel the web of rules that individuals with chronic pain and symptoms develop overtime, we illuminate the pitfalls of living trapped within these limits. We dissect the problematic beliefs fuelled by misguided associations and fear-laden language from medical professionals, and their impact on us. Join us as we lay down the groundwork for our follow up episode, where we'll equip you with the tools to rewrite your own rulebook, paving the way to a life without pain or symptoms. Prepare to be part of a discussion that's not just about coping, but about transforming the very essence of living with chronic pain and symptoms.
