Pitfalls in the Healing Journey w/ Dr. Justin Barker

[@jenloeffler9476]

I loved this interview! So many great nuggets of wisdom! "Pain was the wake up call." "If only goal is getting rid of pain, then that is only 1 indicator of success". Those of us in this healing journey are "acting in courage".

I’m just a month into learning about this and I found this channel I think just a week ago I’ve watched a lot of videos this one is a great one I live in Southern California Orange County but it’s a long drive to LA for someone in chronic pain traffic is unbearable it would be a 4 Hour Two hours each way just because of traffic. He’s great

Many practitioners work online these days. I might check that out.

One of the best interview I’ve heard! I especially appreciate both of you validating that this journey can be long, slow, frustrating and arduous. It seems to me that many chronic pain coaches avoid those words perhaps from thinking that it will trigger us. It has the opposite effect on me. I take a deep breath and I feel seen and heard. It’s not that I want to stay in the frustration, but denying that it’s there just makes it last longer. You asked great questions Jen and I love Dr. Barker‘s approach. ❤❤ Peggy

I cant help but put attention to the pain with every step I take since the pain is in one on my foot. Its so frustrating and I try so hard not to let it shrink my world but sometimes I want to curl up and cry.

[@ThoughtByThoughtHealing]

Yeah. I totally get that. It’s not about ignoring it, but trying not to buy into the fearful thoughts and engaging in other things that get your mind feeling a tad bit safer. It’s definitely a growth process, takes endurance.

[@emilycarver595]

Thank you so much interview. It addresses so many different aspects of that I’ve been struggling with. I'm trying my best, maybe too hard??? I’m sure getting overwhelmed. It’s not part of healing.😂😂😂 Thank you for highlighting all these things and for your contributions to everybody struggling with Chronic Pain. One question, how do I answer questions like what I want in life, how I want to operate in life, and what are my dreams, while limited by my current pain? Do I imagine these things without the pain and answer the questions or answer the questions in my current state?

[@ThoughtByThoughtHealing]

There is probably nuance to your question that I will miss over this medium but one approach is to think big goals (without symptoms) and then work your way there with smaller “dreams” that lead you in that direction.

[@THECHARGEwithDennisMetzler]

I likes it! Good interview

[@ThoughtByThoughtHealing]

Thanks! I loved it. He shared so much helpful insight.

[@DK-cd8og]

Was looking for info on either the first workbook he mentioned, or the most recent one he co-authored.

[@ThoughtByThoughtHealing]

His website is in the show notes which has a link to the workbook he co-authored I believe.

[@CarrieLeighSandoval]

Do you by any chance have a master list of recommended books/trainings/resources that we can refer to and prayerfully look through?

[@ThoughtByThoughtHealing]

Yes, on my website. Under the tab “the science” I have a ton of resources. Enjoy! www.thoughtbythoughthealing.com/
