Breaking The Fear Barrier

Today we are going to talk about Breaking the Fear Barrier when it comes to our chronic pain. If you’ve gone through even just a day of physical pain, you know there is a lot of emotion involved weather its anger, annoyance, frustration, sadness, there’s countless emotions we can label. The interesting thing about the term fear is that many of us who have gone through pain may not actually be able to relate to feeling fear of our symptoms but our brain interprets all of these other emotions as fear. Why is that? When we become fixated on fixing, angry about what we’ve lost or frustrated with how much we’ve had to change in our life to adjust to our new lifestyle, our brain is receiving all this info through a lens of fear. We are going to talk about how we can change these messages to our brain and learn how to turn down our fear around our pain.
