I personally love the dancing part. In my youth I WAS a dancer. Now.. at 70 with this dizziness-ish, bobbing etc etc, I put on the classic classical pieces that just compel me to become a ballerina. The music is SO emotional and I even take it further and let my imagination take me to a castle and find a Prince Charming come dance with me🥰🥰🥰🥰. If this sounds… well, funny, you can try it and see. It’s always beautiful and it doesn’t matter how you look doing it. Just let it rip. On other days I just flow and sway to hand pan music. If you’ve never heard this… try it. It’s absolutely zen music. This all involves the body… the mind and the soul, and evokes great inspirations. Then…. I go to the grocery store (lol) and carry on. Finding ways for our bodies to feel free, liberated and safe is very healing. And yes… all the rest that you said too. Happy dancing/healing Thx Tanner

These private sessions I have with myself is when I tell myself to believe and have big trust that it is working. And…… keep going. We are in this together and reaching out like this helps too when support seems elusive. I am mostly on my own in this, so I have to be creative….. and ALAS, the Ballerina. Thank you saying hi. 🌹

You are brilliant, Eileen! I studied self-hypnosis. We can be so fully in that hypnotic state that our body reacts as though it's truly happening. So you're helping to heal you body with your visualizations! (Athletes use self-hypnosis frequently, imaging their performance vividly). Our imaginations are so powerful. For two decades I danced only in my dreams. Then I mostly recovered and was able to do it for real. I wish that for you too.

I love the family stories at the beginning! Starting with "Awwww" is a great way to begin a video. Learning to love, accept, and enjoy your body is even more necessary for those of us with pain - even when it feels impossible. I find self-massage and sensuous stroking can help me enjoy my body even when it's chock-full of pain. I find doing several 5-minute meditations helpful when exhausted with MEFM. Especially when I least want to - often I enjoy the guided meditation so much I remember why it's good to do them and do a longer one afterwards. Chi Gong is my favourite though - and dancing. I'm sick as a horse with the flu - but the right music played and I was dancing in my chair! It's hard to co-regulate when you live alone, but I go for walks and listen to bird song and when possible pet dogs. But birdsong is SO calming and a little hummingbird often comes up to say "hello". Nature heals.

Hello, I want to Thank you for all you do. I am 60yr old and have excercized regularly and ate healthy thru my lifetime. I have been living in chronic back, knee and shoulder pain for over 10 years now. I finally went to see a Dr. and Psychiatrist who recommended I do PRT and CBT. Thru therapist I have been using PRT/CBT to see if I could get releif from this none stop pain I have been in. After the Dr. test came back I have stage 4 osteoarthritic in my shoulder. Its bone on bone pain. I have 3 vertibra that have stenosis and 7 are degenerative with 3 bulged discs. My right knee has severe arthritis with edema and my whole leg has pins and needles sensation to my heal. The Dr. has me on Opiates to help manage my pain before I have my shoulder replacement surgery. I have been meditating and using PRT and CBT for 3 months now and am unsure if its helping me at this point in the journey. Is there a point where pain is pain and thats the way it is?

The only challenge is staying awake, as it tends to calm my nervous system so much! As someone who has chronic pain due to childhood trauma, I find hearing about the sweet moments you share with your kids very healing. It helps me see what connection with parents ought to be like, which makes it easier to grieve missing it and to give that to my inner child. So thank you for sharing that too.

I would love to have an animal but my landlord won’t allow it. I get co-regulation from my mom’s dogs and my mom but only in evenings when I’m there a few days a week. I do engage with online communities for co-regulation as well. Do u think this is sufficient? I have roommates but due to symptoms and their schedules I don’t regulate with them all the time

@rainbowconnected Жыл бұрын

That's lame they won't let you have an animal. It might sound silly, but when I don't have animals or people to co regulate with, I watch videos or shows with people who I find calming in their voice, manner and energy. Some ASMR is good for this. I like Townsends and Rajiv Surendra too. Basically people with Mr. Roger's or Bob Ross type vibes. Obviously this would be highly individual, but perhaps the general idea might help.

Ugh I can relate. 2019: Bedridden in pain. Pain levels 8-9 everyday. Barely able to walk the distance to get to the bathroom and back again. Two herniated discs lower back. Inflamed discs from being a transit bus driver. Narrowing of structures around the discs. Surgery that caused even more leg and hip pain. Found a doctor and nurse advocate that understood pain. They said to do all the physical rehabilitation & mental therapy all at the same time. I put together a treatment team (physical therapist, chiropractor, acupuncturist, pelvic pt, psychotherapist, movement pt, neurologist, then a psychiatrist) all who understand the new pain science that Tanner discusses. I fired anyone that didn't want to understand, who didn't write their notes so everyone on the team could understand, or who wouldn't explain next steps to me. I also did ice therapy 3x a day. Far infrared light therapy 1x/week, traction as helpful, and float chamber therapy 2x/mon. Aquatics and Hydromassage. Imagery practice of not being in pain and living life normally. Spoke messages of safety to my brain. And my pt told me of this app that retrains the brain about pain; Recognise app from the Noigroup. Pick the one that is closest to your pain area and do the exercises. It costs money but was so worth it. Later I found LIN Health program and then the Curable app. 2021-22: I went from bed to a walker, to the challenge of not using the walker, to getting a handicap sticker on my car, to walking - very short - distances and being able to stand 1min, to 5min then 10min without that radiating, excruciating pain. 2022: Pain levels dropped to 1-2, then 0-1. 2023: Very slowly getting conditioning back. Working on when flares come and why. I WISH YOU ALL THE VERY BEST‼️ I hope some of my story is helpful.😢

What is self or co regulation? This is the first time I have heard someone talk about using a morning routine to feel safe. It's usually in relation to how to be the most productive. My pain is worse in the morning. I wouldn't have anything that would make me feel safe. I would need to make more money so I am not in fear of not being able to pay the bills. (I am on disability.)

Self-regulation is when we are using strategies to regulation ourselves on our own (breathing, somatic practices ect.). Co-regulation is when we are co-regulation with another nervous system (animal or person). I'm glad my content has been helpful. I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through.
