A new way to think about pain | Lauren Cannell | TEDxHobart

[JuliSS]

And this is why it's so important when people who talk about chronic pain are those who had actual experience!! Her talk was great!

[abhinavdino]

Relatable. I've had similar experiences with the mind playing tricks on me. It's liberating once you understand it.

[fiotheo]

I so appreciate how incredibly clear you have explored the nature of chronic pain. Thank you!!!

[stewartwilliams]

A well presented, informative and very personal journey that I think has the potential to help a lot of people. Well done Lauren!!!

[dougmaddog]

Omg. Got tears from listening to this . I Can relate 🫡

[carolinazanon]

This is exactly what I am going through now. Wonderful talk! Thank you

[carlosangulo]

Great video!! Thank you 🙏🏻 Unconditional love to all ❤️ ♾️ 🌌. When I was in intense pain, I would wake up daily Thanking God/Universe/Life for healing me and taking my pain away. Being grateful in advance is very powerful! Keep an attitude of gratitude regardless of your current situation!

[laurigrossman]

Thank you Lauren, for sharing your invaluable perspective. I'm a homeopath and will gladly integrate your perspective in the care I offer patients who experience persistent pain.

Pain is real from real-world traumatic experiences. Yes, I also believe, partly in what she's saying.
It can be psychological, and one needs to work w your brain and any help you need.
I broke many bones when a car hit me. Although I feel safe, these techniques dont work for me and without help from medication, well I wouldnt be able to stay here. We must acknowledge pain associated with accidents, illnesses, surgery, etc. Its real .
I wish I could eliminate mine, but you can actually see it in my gait. Thank you.

Great talk about your experience. Thank you for sharing it. A few resources helpful to me, trying to reduce chronic pain, have been Dr. John Sarno's methods back in the 1990's and Australian Dr. Lorimar Mosley. The workbook "Protectometer" has been very helpful to work thru it. Best wishes to your continued improvement. Its sure a journey rather than a destination.

I needed to hear this right now in my life thank you so very much x

[peterstanghellini]

This is so true. Our brain/subconscious is always trying to keep us safe. It’s like a car alarm that won’t turn off.

[irw]

a great talk - its a pity that many comments below make no distinction between real, physical pain from, say, a broken bone - and learned responses which can cause or exaggerate chronic pain - making it appear to be every bit as real. Well done Lauren. many thanks.

Failed Back Surgery sufferer here, belly button down for years now. The brain damage done to me by the pain was awful. Glutamate in the brain lowers from the constant pain and Auvelity raises those levels helping recharge me for the pain fight. Cymbalta and Gabapentin both had horrific side effects so bad I couldn’t take them. No real side effects so far with auvelity. I hope this helps someone drowning in nerve pain.

Exact description of dealing with pain

[spacemakersaustralia]

Well done Lauren - it's an important talk and mirrors what I have seen working with persistent pain clients as a Physiotherapist.

[MaTripurasundari]

omg its so good! Thank you for sharing this, absolutely 100% We explore this in Hinduism, mindfulness through yoga and meditation help rewire the brain <3

[BarnabyCharles-imum]

I am currently in a lot of pain with a slipped disc and its hard for me to understand that telling myself I am safe is going to stop the pain?

[tersiaraath]

Please tell me more, i am one of those many people with consistent pain my whole life, and i am fed up for pills and pills, hospital bills, operations which truly do not bring promises come true. I am 67 and still run every second day, but lately the chronic pain in my heel prevents me from enjoying my runs. I want to learn how to tell my brain i no longer have pain messages, please help me. I want to do one marathon before i turn 70, i promise myself that.
