Learn about the special discount for early buyers and get a sneak peek into one of our favorite brain retraining practices, "Don't L-C-T-T Instead Shift," illustrated through Tanner's personal experience with chronic knee pain.

Switching gears, we delve into the concept of safety and how it plays a pivotal role in managing chronic pain. Ever noticed how constantly talking about your symptoms can make them worse? We explore the vicious cycle of seeking reassurance and the importance of expanding your conversations to focus on other interests. Discover cognitive, behavioral, and somatic strategies to create a sense of safety and break the cycle of chronic pain. Hear how cognitive messages of safety can transform your mindset, reminding you that your body is not damaged and helping to reduce fear-based thoughts.

The LCTT sounds like me. Although my pain was at least initially caused by injury. But I’ve been and continue to be guilty of all the four things here. Prodding. Poking. Moving and looking for it. When it’s there it convinces me it’s still damaged. When it’s not I look until I find it. The touching I’ve managed to manage this last week much better. It’s the thinking I can’t control. 80-90% of the day it’s there in my head.

I struggle with pelvic pain (IC/pelvic floor diagnosis) I've been in Dan Buglio's coaching group, so I know about this stuff. I just can't seem to break the cycle of checking and feeling the pain. It's so personal and in your face with symptoms. I struggle with teaching safety in a flare. The balance of feeling vs catastrophic thinking. I know I've made progress, but flares kick my ass. I also struggle too with knowing if stretching/PT is a fixing vs healing activity. I'm not in terror anymore like I used to be, but I am definitely still frustrated

Can you give examples of messages of safety when you are limited with screens, convo and movement? Very sensitive nervous system right now

Tanner, does this sound typical of NP symptoms ?...i have pain on and off all day in my upper back, neck, shoulder areas, it moves around. Then I may have a new symptom, example reaction to something I eat. While im having the new symptoms, the reax to food, the upper back pains disappears. Then back pain comes back when the food reax symptoms go, like a couple of hours later. Thanks heaps ps ive had my back checked out, nothing structural wrong.

Hi Tanner and Ann, I have purchased your course which is good. I am still going to physiotherapy which is helping my pain but it may increase my checking. Do you have any advice for me?
