Curious about chronic pain? Lauren Cannell speaks about taking control of chronic pain and getting your life back after traumatic events. Lauren has been a Tasmanian police officer for more than 20 years and participated in endurance sporting events such as Ironman races and ultra-marathons. After having a brain haemorrhage, followed by an accident where she was hit by a motor vehicle, Lauren experienced ongoing chronic pain long after her injuries healed. This led her on a journey of understanding pain, how it works and how to recover. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

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!
Relatable. I've had similar experiences with the mind playing tricks on me. It's liberating once you understand it.
A well presented, informative and very personal journey that I think has the potential to help a lot of people. Well done Lauren!!!
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.
I so appreciate how incredibly clear you have explored the nature of chronic pain. Thank you!!!
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!
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.
This is exactly what I am going through now. Wonderful talk! Thank you
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.
Neuroplastic pain is totally real. It has a partly or completely different cause than physical injury. But brain scans can't make any distinction between pain from physical injury and pain generated by the brain through hypervigilance.
I needed to hear this right now in my life thank you so very much x
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.
Well done Lauren - it's an important talk and mirrors what I have seen working with persistent pain clients as a Physiotherapist.
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.
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.
Exact description of dealing with pain
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?
Yeah it doesn’t it’s complete BS
If your pain is all in your head , this video is for you. If you actually have a physical issue causing your pain , you just wasted 17 minutes of your life like I just did.
I was starting to feel like a failure that I can't even get pain right or figured out. It's really hard to do mental gymnastics when I'm flooded with pain and depression. I'm trying to navigate it all.
Pain education has value, even if it doesn't benefit one directly.
Try reading The Way Out by Alan Gordon. Basically there's nothing to lose, because the book is an easy, entertaining, relaxing read. So if nothing else, one gains that much. But there are many examples of people in that book who believed their pain was from a structural pathology but in reality was from an overactive nervous system, like the woman giving this talk.
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
Alan Gordon work talks about the some thing!
This is a great talk but most people who have commented have joint pain. I have pelvic pain. Does anyone else experience this type of pain and how do they deal with it. ?
Physical activities come on.
you dont say whether you have had tests/scans etc - it could be spondylitis, for example ? sacroiliac joints - which can be treated effectively with biologics, for example
What are biologics? @@irw4350
Heat , ice, ibuprofen help me. It's been miserable for 5 years.
I have pain since back surgery. I tried but didn’t understand everything .
Have agree does not work for me
What about the patient who uses his MRI to prove the validity of his pain?
MRI means nowt well all have abnormalities on MRI scans.Loose weight ,go walking/jogging,run half marathon,ironman training join navy seals .good luck
My dad is 85.
He used to be 6 ft tall.
He is now 6" shorter.
His latest MRI clearly shows age related disc degeneration through out his body , hence the loss of height.
He has lost most of his muscle mass too.
The MRI basically shows a completely warn out body in every area to include bone on bone where his cartilage has worn away.
HE HAS NO PAIN !
@@cdracos1 Your dad is exceptional! 👏
MRI is relevant some people suffer horribly and quite frankly lm tired of people minimising their pain because they or a relative don’t suffer. Great for the, but don’t you dare minimise someone’s pain based on one experience. It’s cruel,
@@Bella77260 opiates are not indicated for chronic non cancer pain .Never would you get oxycontin for a slipped disc .
Pills for pain only cause more harm for me .
Pain pills and ritalin. Learn to live with it, people hate you, you’re a burden, you feel ashamed of your body. The obsession and circling in the mind about the pain and or cause of pain and or loss of quality of life can be mitigated with stimulant medication, I prefer ritalin and opioids. Morphine and oxy, just that there is a shortage of medications.. though there is high demand, no supply, and you realize how imperfect the world is and you hate that you hurt yourself trying to be perfection.
Good talk however she doesn't understand Meditation. Likely she's referring to relaxation techniques that are called Meditation. Also the Buddha taught 2, 500 years ago what she discovered. Also this is same experience of those with PTSD, anxiety, panic attacks.
but its just TALK , nothing to relieve pain !
Anglo pain isn't real. Their qualities of life are so high that mild discomforts to them are mischaracterized as pain
