Pain is mandatory, Suffering is optional

If you hit your thumb with a hammer — that’s pain
for sure, but after it heals if you are still
talking about how much it hurts and how it has
screwed up your life — that’s suffering.
It is clear when one considers the number of
people who suffer with conditions that happened
years ago and yet they are suffering on a regular
basis.

Conditions, such as migraine, anxiety and
depression can be triggered by real things and of
course having an injury is as real as it gets
however, studies have shown that life events are
required to trigger these conditions. The
biomedical approaches to pain management,
including pain medications, injection techniques,
and surgical and chemicals but these have also not
been shown to be successful in some cases.
Therefore a new model for these disorders is
needed, the mind-body model in which these
disorders are considered to be related to
individual reactions to stressful and traumatic
even events and unresolved emotions.
Evidence indicates that pain can originate in the
absence of a tissue disorder in the area where
pain is being felt as seen in phantom limb
syndrome. Pain initiated by the brain is
identical to pain originating in tissues.
Learned pain pathways can develop after an injury
even a mild one or can be created during times of
significant stress and emotional reactions.
Although most injuries heal within a reasonable
amount of time, pain pathways can become “wired”,
thus creating chronic pain that is often stubborn
to most treatments.
The Unravel the Pain program consists of a mixture
of cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and
emotional expressive techniques. The Unravel the
Pain program has been shown to reverse and even
erases the problem forever.
Individuals who have endured significant childhood
and adult stressors and who have suffered with
chronic pain often have a negative view of
themselves and low levels of self-esteem and
self-efficacy. Therefore, an overarching theme
for guiding individuals to health is the
development of love and kindness toward oneself.
This can be accomplished by positive affirmations,
by meditations and visualizations.

Opening Up to New Possibilities

Monday, June 20th, 2011

In 1977 I was invited to come
to Park City, Utah with a group
of healers and meditation students
for a month to study with
Virginia Satir.
She was a great psychotherapist, known
especially for her approach to family
therapy.

She was regarded as
The “Mother of Family Therapy.”

When you are working with people,
(No matter if you are doing massage,
medical qi gong or acupuncture)
when you open up to new modalities
in your practice it will make you a
better doctor, healer or therapist.

One of Satir’s most novel ideas at
the time, was the “presenting issue”
or surface problem – that the presenting
issue itself was seldom the
real problem; rather, how people coped
with the issue is what created the problem.
She also offered insights into the
particular problems that self-esteem
could cause in relationships.

Whenever I work with a patient or a
student, I start with a process that
Virginia developed called:

“The Five Freedoms”.

*The freedom to see and hear what is
here, instead of what “should” be, was,
or will be.

*The freedom to say what you feel and think,
instead of what one should.

*The freedom to feel what you feel,
instead of what you “ought.”

*The freedom to ask for what you want,
instead of always waiting for permission.

*The freedom to take risks on your own
behalf, instead of choosing to be only
“secure” and not rocking the boat.

What The Five Freedoms will do
for you is open you to new possibilities
in your life and give you a way to look
at the world differently.

Applying the five freedoms in your
life can give you different twist
to think outside of the box and
free up your stresses.

In the Turn Stress into Power Program
I incorporated the Five Freedoms
in my writing and presented a new way
of looking at stress.
How to use your stresses to transform your
life and get on top of the wave of stress,
instead of being flipped, rolled and pulled
under by every day stresses.

Open up to new possibilities in
your life and order the program today.
It will transform your Stress into Power.
