Welcome to my RU-vid Channel! I recovered from severe PTSD after 3 violent attacks in the UK in the 80s and spent the next 25 years combining a very successful Academy Award Winning career in Hollywood with coaching and counseling people with trauma, addictions and relationship problems. In 2018 I noticed that my 25 years of chronic pain had completely gone! Following the success of 5 case studies I developed a program called Painless and am now helping clients worldwide with all kinds of health and MindBody issues, ( chronic pain, Long Covid, Histamine intolerance, hormone issues etc ) and working with doctors and clinicians, speaking at international conferences, leading retreats and coaching 1:1
My first book, The Myth of Low Self Esteem - a novel about PTSD, Hollywood and healing came out in 2019 and my second, Painless, a novel about chronic pain and the Mindbody connection was published in 2021. My next novel, Very Well, all about hormones, will be out early 2023.
Thanks Chana Oh the relief to not believe the stinky thoughts - to just see them and not respond to them. To just gently practice that. I love how the 3Ps dovetail with Buddhist teachings We are not our thoughts Just observe the thoughts After years of doing so many therapies including jungian analysis, process oriented pyschology and SE and my suffering intensifying i recently came across 3Ps via a friend and its such a relief. Remines me of the sayong 'The teacher appears when we are ready' So I guess I'm ready to step off the wheel of endless repetitive pain 😊
Beautiful conversation, thanks for sharing Chana. The last story was so heartfelt and I'm glad she's doing better. The brain is remarkably plastic and able to recover from extensive damage, so I'm convinced her physiological symptoms will keep improving as they already have.
My average is 6-7 and that is ok. Its the frustrating thinking about sleep that is sooo exhausting. Tell me what keeps you awake? chanastudley@gmail.com
@@chanastudley3P the little voice chattering away about nothing in particular, I dont get upset by it any longer but would rather be sleeping than listening to that rubbish 🤣. There was one time that I said ‘you carry on Im off to sleep ‘ and I did, but that was only once 😊
Congratulations Chana! This is so exciting for me as someone teaching the principles, just about to place my order. Thank you ahead of reading, for the time, energy and prescence it must have taken. Such a gift for us all. Watching the clip was energising, hearing from everyone, the worlds of science and spirit or form and formless are starting to move toward one another and being able to share from this deep resource hopefully I can help more people benefit from a deeper understanding of our connectedness. Hope every home has one!
Chana Studley well done! You are such a gifted writer and healer. You are such a gift to anyone who has the pleasure to know you and work with you. Congratulations!
Understanding that we are always feeling our thinking means that we don't have to be afraid of our thoughts. Thoughts are always passing on so they can't hurt you. Happy to share more - chanatudley@gmail.com
Chana is a great teacher who shows in such a wonderful way the direction where well-being can be found again - no matter what the external circumstances are. So hopeful even in the face of trauma and suffering. Your books are a wonderful introduction to understanding how humanity works and who we really are. ❤
Hi Chana! This was so encouraging to hear. My allergies can be quite debilitating and I've only recently been feeling a bit of hope after so many years of doctors giving up on my health. I'm starting to see the mind-body connection more recently, and wondering how to disentangle my allergies from my fears and beliefs. Help would be so appreciated!
I have too much involuntary muscle contractions & tightness in sternocleidomastoid. how to use 3 principles. Its been 4 years i cant talk or walk. Happened after psychoanalysis I have a particular thought which is about my own mind scares me that it can create thoughts which cause me muscle spasm in neck. So sometimes I am not in control of my thoughts
Related to the pain in childbirth analogy and being positive. In the birth preparation classes at the hospital we were told we would have contractions, and just had to grin and bear it (and use the breathing exercises they were teaching us). In the birth preparation classes with a religious Jewish teacher, she stressed that each contraction was bringing the baby nearer (not exact quote - it was more than 35 years ago). Obviously easier to be positive when dealing with pain that comes with something positive, than the pain that comes with an illness
Yes, when you look at it that way. Understanding these ideas doesn't mean that life is going to stop happening or there won't be any pain. It means we will be able to be in touch with our resilience, faith and courage that will carry us through
Similar analogy - blowing out a candle. (I'm thinking Havdala candle which is a multi-wick candle.) You need to blow initially to put out the flame, but blowing more to get rid of the smoke, just leads to more smoke. I always fall for this one.
Dear Chana, I love your videos and content. I also had a lot of allergies of which only my sensitive skin issues remained. I like the thought of no resistance against what‘s causing the allergy or not thinking of it as an enemy.
Thank you for your support!! Of all the crazy things in the world, pollen and thoughts about it are not our enemy :) My immune system is back on track now and I feel so much better. PLease let me know if I can help you further
The thinking is not conscious. The thoughts come automatically. "You dont have to remember the past". I dont have a choice, the thoughts come to me. No one consciously thinks about past trauma, the thoughts appear because the trauma wound has not been healed. Why do you make a video just to say "dont think about the past", as if it is that easy to stop thinking about it.
I know that when I was in my 10 years of PTSD I would have said the same but I was not understanding how it works. The trauma is in the past and we are in the present. Right here, right now you and I are ok. he only reason we might 'feel' like the trauma is not healed is because we thought about it. The thoughts bring it alive and if I'm in a low mood then I will not feel ok about it. I can now think about my violent traumas and they don't affect me at all. I'm not in denial, I have written books about it! But it's not who I am now, I am free of it now. Happy to share more chanastudley@gmail.com
After 40 years of suffering PTSD I'm so delighted at the liberation that arrives when I say to myself the last is done, it's over it's gone, right now I'm safe and okay, because I am. Try it and feel the liberation...
