Thank you for your videos! I wonder, what do you think is the best technique to use when fear is not what is keeping us in pain, bur rather too much focus and awareness of the pain. Obsession and rumination. Thank you!
@MECFSExplored Күн бұрын
@@angeleetmesdemons1799 sorry to hear that- do check out the videos I’ve done on pain. Quick tips: 1. Tuning in to whether there is an emotion related to the pain can help. 2. Doing something engaging/enjoyable distraction - burn victims experienced drastic reduction when playing video games, when dressing changed 3. (Optional) Visualise turning up the pain just a bit and then turning it down more

So much good advice and reminders of things that seem obvious, but are easy to forget when one is overwhelmed with health condition. Thank you for sharing your wisdom! What I find most helpful but also very challenging is, as you said, doing things calmly as opposed to rushing through and stressing myself. When I remember to slow down I feel much more calm and peace overall, as well as acceptance.

My eyes are good My shoulders are good My back is good My hips are good My knees are good My ankles are good and my feet are good I'm well!! I'm well!!!

@thejulesfather thanks for sharing. Love what you're saying to yourself. Great to hear that you're noticing a difference. One thing that is important I think, is to ensure that we're saying to ourself is something that your mind will accept. For example for some people if they say "I am well." when their mind is saying "No I'm not." then it might be useful to adjust it to something like: "My body is healing, and has capacity for wellness." "I trust in my mind and body's incredible healing power." "Each day, I am tapping into my bodies incredible healing potential."

@@joyoung7804 graded exercise or graded except exposure If you like, send me more information about it, With graded exercise therapy, if the approach encouraging you to stick to a level of activity regardless of how you’re feeling and you’re feeling unwell, that can really push you into a relapse.
