Hi Tanner. For years now I’ve believed my pain is neuroplastic. However, after going through your checklist I think I may be wrong! Can you tell me if somatic tracking can still work for physical pain? Thank you.

The practice give a little bit of calm, but the breathing gives me so much stress haha! I let that one out the next time and try to breath naturally. But where I am really stuck is the thing that er actually really things are damaged. Blood pressure, blood circulation, and so on. I cant get that in my mind how there is nothing damaged 😊. Can you explain how this works? I wanna think that it is a mind body condition and that i am capable of rewire, but im not sure about both😅

This was an interesting one. I found myself much more relaxed at the end. I see parallels between these practices and meditation--------at least for myself. They both require blocking the thoughts my racing mind continues to offer up. While I have a terrible time trying to meditate, I can do these somatic practices, and get some of the same benefits----- as well as having them help deal with pain. Thank you , as always!

Hi Tanner! I just have a couple of questions for you. 1) How often per day do you recommend that I do this exercise? (So far I’ve been doing it twice a day-once in the morning and once at night). 2) How long does it usually take until I notice an improvement? And 3) Do most of the people who practice Somatic Tracking regularly experience an eventual improvement in their symptoms? Thank you for all that you do! -Stephanie
@painpsychotherapy
@painpsychotherapy День назад
1) Depends person to person. Usually 1-3 times a day at first. 2) Really depends person to persons. A few weeks to a few months. 3) Yes many of my clients do!

Thank you for making this available Tanner. Really appreciate it 🙏🏻 I have a short question: what if you get acute pain somewhere else (had my wisdom teeth removed last week) and your neuroplastic pain basically goes away completely, but it comes back right after the acute pain is gone. Is this proof of the initial pain being neuroplastic?

I unfortunately do not have experience working with these conditions. However, with many conditions a portion of the symptoms are neuroplastic.

I know this is a few weeks old, but if anyone can weigh in I’m wondering. I’ve tried to approach walking again. After 50 steps or so I sometimes feel a shift in lower back, and that’s been a sign a flare is coming the next day, sometimes really bad & lasting for days. Is it wise to try and walk during intense pain or let it settle. I’ve been too afraid to approach walking now because this has happened several times.
@painpsychotherapy
@painpsychotherapy День назад
Yes, graded exposure can be difficult and even when done right can trigger pain. Starting small is needed. Also working with a practitioner can be helpful.

What keeps me in the loop is the idea that we should be feeling or allowing fight/flight energy when we’re outside our window of tolerance. The trouble is, my system is in fight/flight all the time, so I always feel that I’m doing something wrong by allowing the sensations to be there.

Helpful explanation of how pressure can cause a pain or symptom flare-up----and good advice on rating how crucial it actually is/isn't that a thing be done extremely well. Most of the time it isn't nearly as important as we think. Nice, relaxing, somatic practice, too. Thanks, as always. BTW, love the colorful Rorschach prints--------and Zebra Stuffy!

Although I'm convinced that I have both reactive and degenerative tendinopathy, and whatever the equivalent overuse injury in my plantar fascia, these videos are good reminders of general principles, plus some of the stuff in The Way Out. The joke about watching your videos 5 hours a day definitely reminds me of some elements of my personality. I'm open to the idea that maybe 30% of my pain is neuroplastic and that could make all the difference.

Thanks Anne and Tanner for doing this podcast 🙏❤️ It's a reliable and awesome source of information for me on my healing journey from ME/CFS and it offers a lot of useful strategies to deepen and apply the knowledge of Dr. Howard Schubiner, Alan Gordon and other pioneers in this field. The value of your work can't be overestimated. And I love your spirit and the sense of humor both of you put into this podcast series 😅. I feel in regard to the danger cues or stressors which can lead to dysregulation I've come to understand that highly sensitive persons (HSP) are particularly vulnerable for developing a Mindbody-Syndrome. I don't like to label myself but since I got to know the research behind HSPs I have an explanation for why I was feeling different and why things affected me way stronger than the average person during my whole life - in the positive and in the negative direction. The depth of processing, the overstimulation, the empathy, the sense for all the subtleties, the emotional reactivity... It's shown that HSPs have a faster and stronger stress-response in the brain and that they are more affected by adverse childhood events and other bigger life stressors...they are more threat-sensitive by birth. So they're perhaps more prone to the effects of central sensitization/limbic kindling and for developing MBS. Like you said I feel that to honour your nervous system is key to live a healthy life. Overstimulation through modern technology is for example one threat-cue/stressor that can easily dyregulate me...even long time before developing MBS. Btw I can very much relate to your story with living a high sympathetic lifestyle beforehand. What is your personal take on using stimulants like coffee or other caffeine sources in your daily life? Do you still enjoy them after your recovery or do they foster too much intensity and fight/flight Stress energy in your system? Would appreciate your answer. Ohh this was long...😅 Have a great day...I'll keep listening to your episodes...little by little..

I am trying your approach to recovery for my trigeminal neuralgia with your videos and just purchased the course. I do have a lot of evidence forbit being neuroplastic. But there are just not a lot of success stories out there for this condition so it's scary. My question is how can someone like me with sometimes very significant symptoms communicate safety and lightness to my brain when I'm not fully convinced this will work/this is neuroplastic? Thanks for your reply
@painpsychotherapy
@painpsychotherapy 7 дней назад
Welcome to the course. I'm sorry to hear about your symptoms. I have successfully treated many people with this condition. The key is to communicate safety cognitively, behaviorally, and somaticly. In our course we walk through several exercises you can try. Let us know in the community if you have any questions!

Hi Tanner, I don't quite get how you do this. Do you do this when you have a flair up? I have fibromyalgia. I guess you tell your brain you're safe and all that and that's supposed to ease your pain? I don't know if I believe this...I've watched almost all your vids and I'm still not convinced. Any suggestions (cuz I do want to believe it).
@painpsychotherapy
@painpsychotherapy 8 дней назад
This is to be done when the symptoms are mild to moderate. The goal isn't to change the pain, but change the emotional response to it. Here is a full video on somatic tracking with education on it: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Gf7YgH185v4.html
