Hi Everyone: As my work with neuroplastic symptoms evolves, I am excited to be starting a new Mind-Body Membership Group. My hope and goal is this membership will not only offer you plenty of resources, but it will become a place of support, connection, and healing for you. I will be running a live Mind-Body Group meeting each week for […]
The paradox of neuroplastic symptoms, anxiety, and the brain’s false alarm When something in life is damaged or broken, the logical response is to fix it. If a pipe is leaking, we repair it. If a tire is flat, we replace it. So when we experience pain, dizziness, fatigue, digestive problems, anxiety, or another distressing […]
Why the body may express an emotion before the conscious mind recognizes it When people experience chronic pain or other persistent physical symptoms, their attention naturally goes to the body. They notice the sharp back pain, dizziness, stomach discomfort, bladder symptoms, headache, numbness, tingling, or fatigue. The symptom is real, often distressing, and understandably becomes […]
When it comes to neuroplastic symptoms, it’s easy to get caught up in the complexity of brain science. We can spend a lot of time trying to understand exactly what’s happening in the nervous system or searching for the specific reason symptoms began. While those questions can be interesting, they can also distract us from […]
Just wanted to let everyone know tomorrow starts the June months classes and we will be exploring the topic of emotions and how to work with them so that we can reduce emotional stress to help reduce neruoplastic symptoms. The classes are both live and recorded so if you can’t make it live, you can […]
My colleague and friend Dr. Schubiner’s new book, Unlearn Your Pain, offers an important and compassionate exploration of chronic pain, anxiety, fatigue, depression, and the powerful connection between the brain and body. Drawing on decades of clinical experience and emerging neuroscience, the book helps readers better understand how stress, emotions, and learned neural pathways can contribute […]
When the brain and nervous system can settle, neuroplastic symptoms can settle. There are very real signs within us that signal we are moving from a stressed sympathetic state to a relaxed parasympathetic state. I go over some of these today that you may see within yourself as you make that transition from sympathetic to […]
I wanted to share this video if you haven’t seen it yet. Whether it be migraines, IBS, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, tinnitus, fatigue, arthritis, or many other neuroplastic conditions, there is one commonality that links all these symptoms under one umbrella. And it relates to your autonomic nervous system (ANS). It is this system that we […]
I wanted to share a practice that I do and have honed over the years to elicit what’s called the relaxation response. When we can get the relaxation response to activate we start to feel as you would imagine, more relaxed, more calm, settled, quiet and to a point of inner stillness. That stillness is […]
I’ve spoke about these 2 branches of the nervous system many times. And the more I think about it, it keeps making more sense and simplifies down what can be a complex process in the brain. Stress from the brain causes neuroplastic symptoms in the body. We know that. How does that filter down into […]
