Hi Dr Furlan. This video is so positive. Gives hope to so many people. Years ago when I was confined to the bed with R.A. I used visualisation as one of my aids in getting myself mobile again. I believed in the body's ability to heal and recover and I slowly built up strength in my legs primarily so I could walk. And then i worked on building strength in the rest of the body . Progress was slow but I didn't give up. I believed I would get there. Which I did. Through my life journey I have taken many knocks which have had a negative effect on my health but by using visualisation, self believe, exercise, healthy diet I eventually recover. I use moderate exercise to reduce my pain and keep inflammation down. I try to think positively rather than negatively. Our thoughts affect our bodies. I do spend a lot of time in nature. I find it helps my brain. Also hanging out with positive people is great. Thank you Dr Furlan for posting this video . 💚☘️
Hi Dr. Furlan! I want to thank you for posting this video. It completely changed my mindset. Before, I had already given up, and was grieving for the painless life I would never be able to have. Thanks to this video, I’m more than ready to take that leap of faith and reprogram my brain!
Hi Andre, I'm glad you found hope here. Please come back and tell us how is your journey to recovery going.
Hi Dr Furtan, great videos. I started with brain retraining in April. I have a combination of neuroplastic pain and structural pain. I have done several courses in TMS, PRT but also had 2 neck surgeries that have not produced the expected results. One thing I have learned is that my pain definitely increases if my anxiety increases.
This sounds great. I am sure Fiona will be happy to hear that.
Wow what a wonderful hopeful story Thnku
Glad you liked it
Thank you for posting this. I have been skeptical about these types of therapies, but I am now intrigued and want to do more research. It gives me some hope for the first time in a long time.
Training your brain to calm down one’s overly sensitized nervous system….makes a lot of sense! Any way we can suppress the incessant Fight or flight response will help one’s body tremendously, not just with pain, but an overall sense of well being, better sleep, with renewed energy.
This is Very Encouraging. I feel a sense of HOPE with this real information and my FAITH! THANK YOU BOTH AND GOD BLESS YOU!🙏
Thank you!
I literally feel as though I’ve just sat in a therapy/guidance session! I have an inflammatory autoimmune condition and I truly believe that it has the same root as all these other symptomatic illnesses! I am implementing these practices myself as I feel that they will help a great deal. Thank you for this interview! ❤
This is lovely to read! I really hope things get easier for you, I think so many conditions can benefit from this work even if you just gain a little more control over them. Keep us posted with how you do.
Thank you so much Fiona and Dr Furlan. I knew straight away this was the answer to burying my fibromyalgia. My brain is loving being retrained to not have thoughts of fear and control and I have ongoing joy for the future. I watched the video as soon as it came out and have been listening to Curable all week applying what I am learning. Solidarity with all those retraining your brain thoughts. Thank you again.
It's amazing to read this! Thank you for sharing. I really hope things get easier for you soon.
@@fionasstory6126do you have no pain from.your eds now
I do a great many of these practices and have calmed my nervous system tremendously. And while it has improved my quality of life, no cure over here!
Fiona your story is inspiring and encouraging .Thank u Dr Furlan for this video .🙏💐💕
You are so welcome!
Only just seen this video n really excited by it tbh. Been debating with myself re Curable ... Had the feeling it'd b years of hard slog so stunned with Fiona's particular timescale!
Given i follow both of you on Twitter I can't quite see how i missed this first time round but v grateful for the repost that popped up earlier❤ there's nothing quite like hope when UV been ill for decades.
Thank you so much for this video. Wonderful. 😊
Kinda wish someone would do a video on how to eliminate Post Traumatic Trigeminal Neuropy or Persistent Ideopathic Facial Pain.
These same techniques have a good chance of helping with that. Have a look at anything relating to Sarno/brain retraining. Wishing you luck
Thank you for this. Fiona your story is inspiring and encouraging. I have part done what you have but you’ve taken it so much further, and given us practical tools to use. You have made me realise how much fear rules my condition and the effort I use. Thank you for your generosity 👏👏❤️
Thank you very much (Fiona)
This is fascinating! Thank you for this story. I've been struggling for 12+ years of chronic pain and this reassured me that there are more of us out there. I love how accurately this reflects the research of Positive Intelligence. This is the most practical research on that, maybe something interesting to collaborate on?
I am glad to hear that.
Thx very much for sharing.
Our pleasure!
Thank you Dr Furlan and Fiona. I’m on this journey and have had many improvements. My body has osteoarthritis from my hands to my feet and everywhere in between. Several TMS/mind body experts say osteoarthritis is mind/body. What are your thoughts and experiences on this subject? Most grateful.
I really, really enjoyed this! I'm going to find somewhere to sign up for Brain Training. I've tried everything else so why not 🤩❤🤷 Thank you so much! ❤
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Thank you so much for this. I will try out this method. I'm also trying the steps in Dr. Furlan's book. I'm determined!
Wishing you luck with it (Fiona)
Wonderful interview, thank you. Body Mind Syndrome/TMS is real.
Have you recovered
Congratulations on your success with brain retraining Fiona. It is good to hear that positive outcomes can happen !
Thank you!
Wow Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou
Great video. It is giving me some hope. In my case I have documented compressed C6, C7 nerves due to severe whiplash caused by accidents many years ago while riding the push bike. I also have severe bilateral formaninal stenosis at C6/C7. Can I use these techniques for pain reduction despite my conditions? My doctors here in Melbourne AU haven't got a clue about my pain and are just throwing pain drugs at me. Thank you.
Pioneers in mind-body, Dr. Sarno, Dr. Howard Schubiner, Alan Gordon (The Way Out), Rewiring the brain Annie Hopper. Bruce Lipton, Gabor Mate, etc. You have to do the work and stray consistent. It does not take away my pain all the time but it helps me cope with it better.
I wanted to know her actual path, exactly which modality (or modalities) did she use? A wonderful program but missing detail. Unfortunately (or maybe just a good place to start) I’m left with many questions. Nevertheless a hopeful place to start. Thank you.
Hi Suzanne, please get in touch with Fiona, she is lovely and she wants to help people find the resources they need. There are many different types of brain retraining. She used the curable app.
Have you got any information.on aspergers chronic pain fybromyalgia seams to be a big link with adhd hypomobility for which i new i had before 43
Hi. Thank you so much for this video. Did Fiona do a brain retraining program or just studied on her own to get better?
I think she used the Curable App
Hi Dr. Andrea, Thank You for posting this video and to know about how to improve myself to get relief from log term pains by using different methods of brain therapy and glad to know about visualization N thanks to Fiona for sharing with us her method to improve the pain .my belief system may helps me to recover me from my 13 years of chronic pain due to edema n inflammatory n swelling in my feet n ankles n knees n I must re star an I following Dr Andrea exercises.

Where can I find the same brain retraining programme Fiona want through?
What was the specific brain retraining program Fiona used? Can I buy the book or the course for my daughter? Thank you!
Hi Lisa. Fiona used an App called Curable.
What are some exercises o can do for training my brain your program to help my pain
I have a new video to answer this question. Watch here: th-cam.com/video/wa6EHUJodOI/w-d-xo.html
Смятате ли, че хроничният световъртеж, познат още като pppd, също спада към този тип състояния?
I don't have Twitter is there another way I can reach out to Fiona? Thanks!
Hello! I'm on here too and will try to keep an eye on comments so I can respond
@@fionasstory6126how long did it take you to get rid of your pain ? I read that the curable app helped you ?
Could that also help with chronic Trigeminus and toothache ?
Yes it is very much worth a try!
I would love to talk to Fiona, how can I get a hold of her.
Fiona is more active on Twitter twitter.com/Fionas_Story
does neuropathy come under "chronic pain"?? I have had it for two years post vaccine
Where can a person access that brain training program? Was it self guided or professionally instructed?
Hi there. please get in touch with Fiona, she is lovely and she wants to help people find the resources they need. There are many different types of brain retraining. She used the curable app.
Haven't tried brain training, but have tried yoga, meditating, breathing exercises, etc. But what if the hardware problem can't be replaced like spinal injuries. Degenerative disc disease, multiple prolapsed discs, scoliosis, etc. No surgery options available and the chronic pain lasting for decades, is brain training still a successful technique to beat or overcome a hardware induced software problem?
That’s my question
Pl go thro pain neuroscience..education.. all d best..
Did you use a specific retraining program ?
I used Curable but there are several that seem good
Which brain retraining program did she do? Thanks
Hi, she used the Curable App
@@DrAndreaFurlan🙏🏼. Viva Brazil!!
Is NOCIPLASTIC the same then neuroplastic pain?
And could nerve pain also be neuroplastic pain?
Nociplastic and neuplastic are synonymous. They both are pain generated by plasticity in synapses.
Nerve pain is different, it is neuropathic pain and it is generated by lesion, damage or disease of the peripheral or central nerve system. I have a video that I explain the difference.

@@DrAndreaFurlanDo you have any experience with people tapering off benzodiazepines or Gabapentin with nerve pain? This actually IS a thing.
Such great conversation. I would love to listen to all your videos but WOW At m way too many commercials
I have a feeling that can b changed by your choice of settings.. Or/and a paywall by TH-cam

Does brain retraining work for fibromyalgia or central sensitization?
Yes, brain retraining works for fibromyalgia.
@@DrAndreaFurlan how about central sensitization or is that the same thing pretty much
You say there are 3 types of pain. Nociplastic, neuropathic, non susceptive? What of these types can benefit from brain retraining?
nociplastic pain is caused by biochemical changes in the pain pathways. So, the way to revert it is with brain retraining, which involves mind-body exercises
@@DrAndreaFurlan I have neuropathic pain from a spinal cord injury. Does brain retraining work for this type of pain? I had a spinal cord stimulator and even brain ablation for my pain, both had zero effect, where for the first 9 out of 10 people benefit. My conclusion is it must be psychological.
@@pieter9058do you have hypomobility
Does brain training work with pain caused by arthritis?
I have RA and nodules/lump on my thumb that is painful. I am answering from my experience. To me the pain sensation is a message that something is not right/or injured. The vagus nerve runs through our entire body and communicates with the brain. I am learning to “calibrate” my “sensor”. In other words like Dr Furlan used the example of computer hardware vs software and Fiona stated a good indicator is if the pain changes. The physical nodule/growth on my thumb gives me pain when I overuse it. However, before brain training aka meditating etc my thumb pained me constantly along with ALL the joints in the other fingers. Now I only have pain localized to the hardware damage IF I over use it. Hope that helps you❤
She has my daughter's name

Tomfoolery. There are people who have no idea what pain is and characterize discomfort as pain
Also, there are ALOT of people who lovw attention and validation that they will claim to be in pain to get that attention.
Careful of people like this.
If you need to believe in a therapy to make it work, than you know that that therapy doesn't work. Placebo effect at its finest. Brain retraining for me/cfs hahaha wut
I would liken it to physio. If you don't believe it will work, you won't engage and it won't do anything. It's not a mystical process.
Scoffing at someone's experience is not a great attitude. Especially when she's living the life to prove what Ur not believing in.😂
This is absolute nonsense. Who are you kidding?
No it's sycosomatic it's real mind body
This is the current state of medical science. Pain is almost always caused by the brain
