BIOs

Kent Bassett (director, producer, editor of This Might Hurt) is an Emmy-nominated editor and filmmaker from Arizona. He’s edited a number of feature documentaries that have premiered at Tribeca Film Festival, SXSW, AFI Docs, Doc NYC, and on PBS. His latest film as editor is Not Going Quietly, which was nominated for Best Feature and Best Writing by the International Documentary Association. After directing This Might Hurt, Kent trained as a pain recovery coach and works with clients at Mind-Body Insight.

Much of the drive to spend seven years making This Might Hurt came from Kent’s own struggle with chronic tendonitis and repetitive stress injury as a 22-year-old. Unable to type or even turn a doorknob without severe pain, he was forced to drop out of college. Although he saw several doctors and tried physical therapy, strength training, and opioids—his pain grew steadily worse. It wasn’t until he had an insight into the role of the brain in triggering real physical pain that he was able to completely recover.

Best video yet!! Dr. Becca Kennedy is Amazing! Such a good speaker on Mind Body Medicine. She puts the ideas and concepts in such clear and easy to relate to ways. Her example of what happens during a fear of heights is a new classic to remember. I want to remember this entire video word for word. Dr Kennedy is so up on the topic that she can just tell us all the steps and factors and seems to be so effortless, but is the result of intense study and comprehension. Thank you so so very much.

Dr Kennedy has a gifted ability to put across complex information in an amazingly clear manner.

Thank you so much for doing this. I've been searching for information on this kind of brain retraining for long covid-related fatigue. Since learning about Dr. Schubiner and pain reprocessing therapy about 2 weeks ago and trying to apply the principles to my fatigue, I'm feeling at least 60% better! What I've been looking for is information on how to apply this process specifically to fatigue. In the "fatigue community" we are constantly told to be very careful about increasing any kind of exercise or physical activity for fear of bringing on a "crash, " and naturally this stirs up a lot of anxiety. I'm increasing my physical activity very gradually and carefully, just in case, but I hope we will see more information about how to apply this kind of therapy to fatigue conditions.

Would love her as my primary! Affirming and confirming. Thank you.

Slowly teach your body that you don’t need to be afraid of this unconscious fear.
Key is experience pain a little bit, and reminding yourself that:

This is not dangerous
Yes it’s uncomfortable
Yeah I don’t want it
But it’s not dangerous
My body is okay

Slowly turns that circuit off and your brain relearns pain

[michaelfritz]

Do we know why some develop chronic pain and others develop tingling, migraines, fatigue or other bodymind symptoms?

[elisedreyfus]

Does Dr Kennedy take patients via zoom?

[AtypicalPaul]

I really hope this helps me. I'm in pain everyday and I'm so afraid to eat so I loose weight a lot. Currently 117lbs at 5'10", I'm afraid of traffic and going away from home. I've not been further than 4 miles from my house in years. Too many panic attacks and anxiety all the time. I never feel safe.
