Chronic Anxiety and Chronic Pain
Просмотров 1635 лет назад
Chronic anxiety is a lot like chronic pain. It seems to be protecting us, but it is actually the result of neural circuit activity in our brains that has become chronic. Neurons that fire together wire together, as neuroscientists put it. In other words, your brain can get caught in a rut of neural activity that causes anxiety or pain without any real need for anxiety or pain. You can retrain y...

Overcome Chronic Pain by learning about Chronic Pain vs Acute Pain
Просмотров 9596 лет назад
This video will help you learn how to overcome chronic pain by learning the difference between chronic pain vs. acute pain. Our body has sensors that detect harm. During normal activities the sensors in our body send small signals that will not result in pain. If there is harm, the sensors send large signals that travel up the spinal cord to the brain and activate pain areas. This acute pain he...

    Shout out to Dr. John Sarno and Claire Weekes for their pioneering work on chronic pain and anxiety, whose teachings I am happy to see echoed here. I sincerely hope John Sarno’s work is given a fresh light, as his principles, summarized well here, helped me overcome 20 years of chronic back pain culminating in 2 years of walking with a walker and a cane, before discovering these principles. Thank you for sharing this, and to everyone reading this: do not let the “experts” tell you your back pain is due to herniated or bulging disks. I have both and I ran two half marathons and I have been (chronic) pain free for 7 years and counting. 🙏🏻💪🏻

    My issue is my pain doesnt really get triggered by certain movements much, it just hurts by existing. I know my brain thinks certain movements or positions hurt more than others but in general my brain just triggers the pain regardless of what Im doing. I have read The Way Out so Im hoping getting a therapist will help w this. But until then Im looking for ways I can help myself on my own. I know my anxiety makes it worse and it can be hard to keep that under control. If anyone has any suggestions on how to help my healing w o triggering my anxiety that would be so appreciated.

    • @breckere7
      @breckere7 5 месяцев назад

      Just want to say I relate to how you feel. Anxiety and worry is with me much of the day and it triggers my pain. So it might seem your pain is with you always, but perhaps you don't realize you are anxious most of the time. We get used to our anxiety at a back ground level. So it's there just enough to trigger pain. But then, if something comes along to make you more anxious, your pain really flares.

    • @amberf7438
      @amberf7438 5 месяцев назад

      Ah yes I realize I'm pretty much anxious all of the time. Ive been using a hand themometer for biofeedback. I've been trying to notice when my hands are cold. When you're stressed the blood vessels in our hands restrict which causes our hands to get cold. So when we're able to relax our hands warm up. Sometimes it's easy to warm them up and sometimes it's not. I realize I've lived basically my entire life under some sort of stress and anxiety w o much relief so it makes sense that it's hard to undo. It's just so frustrating. My other issue is my insomnia and messed up circadian rhythm. Which is also the result of stress and anxiety. I just want to be able to sleep and not be in pain.

Much like yoga, but without all the jumping around. And shaking is so therapeutic. I hope you do more.

    Paul Hansma is a scientist and a humanist. He brings his powers as a long-time Professor at UC Santa Barbara and his philosophical and humanistic orientation as well. In short, he presents, in a patient, clear, professorial manner, the problem of chronic pain.. .and some of the answers as well. With a unique, calm, minimalist style, and including humor, where appropriate, and simple physical models of the brain and nervous system, he is able to convey a great deal of knowledge and wisdom. You can learn about chronic pain, sensitization, and about ways out of chronic pain. As a physician, I can attest that he has a lot to offer anyone willing to spend a little time watching and learning from these videos. This video brings together the prior two videos in an excellent manner.

    I was a patient of John Sarno's 25 years ago (he cured me of severe sciatica) and I've long been interested in the subject of chronic pain. It's interesting to see that much of what Sarno was saying 30 years ago is now being accepted by science, absent some of the problems with Sarno's theory such as his overreliance on Freudian ideas. One question I have not found an answer to is how traumatic injury or structural problems such as nerve damage or scar tissue factor in with CSS/chronic pain. For example, Sarno claimed that pain would correlate with a disc herniation because the brain knows this would be accepted as a physical basis for pain, thereby serving to keep repressed emotions repressed. I found this explanation a bit farfetched and convoluted. Contemporaries of Sarno would say that the pain is receiving signals from these abnormalities or problems, but the response becomes maladaptive since pain is not necessary. I am curious if you have any thoughts on this question. What is the role structural abnormality or damage plays with chronic pain?

    • @chronicpainscience
      @chronicpainscience 6 лет назад

      Thanks for your very interesting questions and observations! Yes, it is wonderful that Sarno, who was not accepted by mainstream medicine in his lifetime, is now being recognized for his amazing power to heal. You mention the overreliance on Freudian ideas. The other problem was that he believed that the brain needed to create a physical problem in the body to generate the experience of pain. It is now known that the brain can generate the experience of pain without any physical problem in the body. I am personally very, very grateful to Sarno for helping me overcome my chronic pain and introducing me to this fascinating field! He had a genius for convincing people's unconscious that they were safe and did not need the experience of pain!! Lorimer Moseley and David Butler eloquently teach how we will have pain if the brain thinks we are in danger. Sarno could convince people that they were not in danger. The amazingly positive and extensive reviews of his books on Amazon give some measure of how many people he has helped. I was at a meeting recently and found that 3 of the 8 people sitting near me had all been helped by Sarno. It would be so wonderful if there could be someone with the ability of Sarno to heal who would also be accepted by mainstream medicine. The new breakthroughs from Tor Wager, Vania Apkarian, and Marwan Baliki from fMRI and from neuroscientists such as Ken Kosik, with whom I collaborate, is that the brain can generate the experience of pain even if there is nothing wrong with the body. The neural circuits that generate the experience of pain can be stimulated by just random neural firing once they become strong. The brain does not need to create a problem in the body to create the experience of pain in the body. The brain does not need a minor problem in the body to blow out of all proportion. There is, however, a big gray area. Before I was able to recover from my debilitating chronic shoulder pain primarily by mental activity, I kept my arm in a sling for three weeks to let the inflammation go down so I could be sure that I just had a mental problem. So I could tell myself, with full conviction, that I was safe. Now, after recovery, I still experience some pain in the arm below where the shoulder hurt. It is not debilitating, just annoying and humiliating. The problem is that it is not bad enough to do three weeks in a sling, but it is humiliating (in a good way) to have the pain despite learning so much and trying help others get over their pain. In answer to your question, I believe that if structural abnormality or damage or diabetic neuropathy or something else continues to send signals to the brain then it is more difficult to recover. Fortunately, the body is very good at resolving pain if sensitization does not arise. There are so many stories of people with major structural abnormalities who do not have pain. The pain from injury resolves well before the injury heals if sensitization does not develop. Situations such as Diabetic neuropathy, where there are continuing signals from the body, are more challenging. Perhaps the best that can be hoped for there is to reduce sensitization so the pain is not amplified. On the bright side, one man, a former medical school professor, worked with me and in a few weeks eliminated his pain from postheraptic neuralgia for which he had been taking opioids for ten years. He was able to experience the continuing signals as tingling rather than pain after retraining his brain.

    • @worldwithouttime
      @worldwithouttime 6 лет назад

      Thank you for your very thoughtful and interesting response, Paul! Yes, it took a personal meeting with Sarno to convince me that my disc bulges were “chicken feed” as he said lol. I cured my sciatica by 1) resuming regular activity and 2) thinking psychological. I also got rid of diagnosed carpal and ulnar nerve entrapment that some surgeon wanted to cut me up for. It sounds like you are saying that something like a herniation * can * but does not *need * to cause pain. This is certainly in line with the studies that show people with these problems who are not in pain. I still deal with a number of problems such as sinus congestion and psoriasis that Sarno called TMS equivalents that clearly have an emotional or stress component, but also other sources (science still does not know what *causes* allergies or auto immune issues) maybe we will eventually get answers, perhaps not in our lifetime...
