Meet Charli, a 24-year-old biochemistry student from London, who shares her moving story of recovery from over two years of chronic pain. She describes the science behind the ‘mindbody’ approach to calming her nervous system, and her hopes that medical practitioners will start to bring the vital link between emotions and physical symptoms more into their practice.
This is our first in an anticipated series of short films which will profile a range of different chronic conditions and medically unexplained symptoms, primarily to help the medical profession better understand this approach to health.
Our aim is to illustrate how so often the root of these conditions actually lies in the brain, and that once this is understood and accepted by the patient, a resolution can be found through working on our emotions and thought patterns.

What an inspirational young lady you are. Your story will hopefully help others to look outside of medication and try and find what is right for them. You have given everyone a great start to helping them find their way through the fog.

Love this! I’m watching again and again. I’m using the mind-body approach to recover from Post-Covid POTS. Thank you for making this video. Please make more if you can! The music is really calming too.

did you make a full recovery ?

@christinaallison1448 Год назад

You are the epitome of “if there is a will, there is a way.” You’re right, how could all of this pain be individual and not connected? I love that you know yourself enough to dig in and dive deeper. Your desire to understand the mind body connection in your body is only going to catapult your progress forward. Your story is helping people charli. I can’t wait to hear testimonials from the many people you have helped open there eyes! This is amazing.

Actually no, did you ever consider that she never had chronic pain at all, she was just suffering from stress. Rather misleading actually, but I agree a very sad representation of a failing NHS, who misdiagnose conditions all the time she should be thankful they didn't kill.het!

I have been doing this mind/body approach for about six months. After eight brutal years of chronic pain I am finally getting relief. This s stuff really works and although I am still a work in progress I am about 40% better and it’s wonderful!

@livingproof-storiesofhope6314 2 месяца назад

Hi - really pleased to hear you are making progress. It really does work! :)

@angelm6497 Месяц назад

Over 30 years with this condition and the first treatment given was therapy and stress lifestyle management. I'm glad to hear that your appear to have addressed the psychological overlay, but true chronic pain is constant, as in every day, the only thing that changes is the level of pain, which does however need the use of various pain management techniques.

@livingproof-storiesofhope6314 8 месяцев назад

Hi Johnathan, thank you for your comment. We do hear you. Our organisation Living Proof has been established as a social enterprise in order to try and bring this science to everyone, regardless of their background or financial circumstances. Our colleagues at Flippin' Pain are also doing great work in bringing this science to people of all backgrounds: www.flippinpain.co.uk/. Anyone can see improvement from this approach - but it is an uphill struggle getting the word out to all communities when there is not yet widespread buy-in from the NHS. It is coming though and over time, more GPs and other healthcare practitioners will start to learn about this and be able to support their patients towards improvement or recovery. We are doing what we can - all on a voluntary basis, so please bear with us.

@angelm6497 Месяц назад

I'm sorry but one person's story of discovering stress management is not science. Just a poor reflection of a failing NHS and inflated Ego's. And Johnathan, I am inclined to agree with you.

Ever consider that you did not have chronic pain, you were just suffering from stress? It took in excess of 10 years to have a diagnosis of chronic pain and that was only given by a pain specialist and only after attending stress and lifestyle management courses and 6 months full time group therapy. I have lived with this condition for over 30 years, following a spinal injury, and well this podcast is an insult to those living with this condor, but a rather sad reflection of a failing NHS. It's only popular because the NHS is currently sponsoring a rather poor attempt at pain, sorry stress management course and brain washing of already traumatized patients who actually have underlying conditions., and in an attempt to reduce their prescription bill. Let's not talk about the GP pushing this or her true motivation for this destructive work. The NHS is a disgrace at the moment, as it's assets are syphoned off for corporate interests. This podcast is featured alongside a sketch from the American Office joking at Pavlov's experiments on dogs, and presented as researched human behaviour.
