"But MY pain is different": Challenging the Belief that YOUR Pain is Untreatable

There's always this doubt that says: "Will this really work for MY pain"
The truth is, it's easy to fall into this trap of believing that your pain is completely unique and untreatable.
In this episode, I'm going to explore why having chronic pain can make you feel a little bit like a "special snowflake" and how that mindset may not be helpful for you and could be holding you back from healing and recovery.
As a physical therapist, I was trained to look for the unique abnormalities contributing to each patient's condition and then create a unique treatment plan that would try to address each of those pieces. So in that way, no two pains are the same.
But I had to realize that ALL pain has this one commonality, regardless of the unique variables present.
So we'll talk about this commonality among all kinds of chronic pain and how challenging the "special snowflake" mindset can really open up new avenues for you.

ABOUT ME:
I'm Alissa Wolfe.
I'm a chronic pain specialist and the founder of the Chronic Pain Breakup Method. I help people who are fed up and frustrated with chronic pain retrain their nervous system so they can beat chronic pain and get their life back.
In other words, if you have chronic pain and are looking for a new and improved way to manage your pain with an approach based on neuroscience, I'm your girl.
I got out of the clinic and started my online chronic pain coaching business so I could provide that nervous system retraining piece that is missing from pain management in the health care system.
Empowering people with chronic pain is my calling. I wasn't okay knowing that my patient's with chronic pain had no one to turn to, no one who would help, and no one who would believe them.
I decided I would be that person, even if in the beginning I didn't know everything I needed to know to help them. I pushed myself to learn and I discovered that we were trying to treat the "tissue issue" when people with chronic pain have a nervous system "pain problem".
Changes in the nervous system were contributing to pain and yet no one was addressing those changes.
By adding this element of neuroscience and nervous system retraining to my treatment approach, clients and patients are getting better than ever.
