[Personal Story] From Punishment to Purpose & Protection

I'm doing something a little out of the ordinary in this episode... because I'm sharing the details of my faith journey in this episode, along with the lessons I've learned and the insights my faith journey has given me as it relates to chronic pain.
Culturally, it's believed that science and faith don't mix, which is why I have avoided sharing details of my faith story even though it is a big part of who I am and why I'm here.
But health and wellness is not just physical and mental, it involves spiritual wellness as well.
So in the name of healing, I hope that by sharing my story and these insights, you find something you can connect with or relate to.

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.

I’m a 74 year old great grandma. I have had fibromyalgia since’72. I believe it is progressive! The last nearly 9 years have been a terrifying hell. Nothing allowed for severe pain head to toe. Inside and outside. I have been fighting suicide endlessly. After I was told by a pain doctor that there was nothing they “Northern California Kaiser “ could do, I asked, “What are people like me supposed to do?” All he said was, “You DO know that euthanasia is Legal in California?”. Exact words.

you're the second person this week to tell me that a doctor told them they'd be better off 'ending' it... I am just in utter shock that health care providers are actually out there saying these kinds of things. I got into this to SAVE lives, or at least make them a hell of alot better.... not to just give up on people and treat them like old dogs. Very disheartening. I'm so sorry. I can only imagine the impact that kind of conversation would have on you.
