It took 2 1/2 months doing very difficult work but I finally realized what the pain was all about.

Thank you for your response. I think I made a significant breakthrough today. When the person online didn't respond to my post, my mind was thinking, my God I put my heart and soul into the post and no response. With the help of an AI (I do find it helpful to be honest) it reminded me that I've...

I will certainly try. Yesterday I went on another site and I saw a post from somebody that wrote about pain similar to mine. they had back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain and often experienced an off-balance feeling. Which is what frighten me the most, especially when one side of my head hurts...

Another question, my body is still flaring up in pain today even though my mind is quiet. I'm kind of told it's like open tabs in my unconscious that are still processing the emotional work. And I'm also told that these Neuro pathways are paved deep, so my pain is not gonna instantly disappear...

Might seem a little weird to ask but I'm going to ask it anyway. I've been doing some of the pain processing workbook and reading The Way out. I"ve connected dots from my past trauma to issues with deep frustrations with my husband and not being heard. My mind was always very loud. For instance...

I have TMJ pain and along with a Neuro plasticity which I'm just now learning about. I've become to look at these inner protectors and trying to understand them. The first one that popped up that was the most prevalent for me was the bracing one. Upon looking at that I realized that that was the...

I am new to this pain processing work. put together the dots on a lot of of the trauma and frustration for the pain that I feel. But really what seem to help me a great deal is is understanding my personality and how that all intertwined itself with everything. I'm an INFJ personality and what...

Thank u so much. I've been unpacking a whole lot of trauma from my childhood and seeing how dealing with a difficult husband and just frustration and the feeling of speaking but yet being unheard, is finally helping me connect the dots to the pain I feel in my body. My voice was always...

I've been almost a couple months in, working through pain reprocessing workbook. Figured out some deep connections to trauma and frustrations that led to my bracing and pain. But as I'm digging through this emotional work, my pain is actually getting worse. I'm told that this is normal. IS...

I’ve been using the pain reprocessing workbook and reading “The Way Out”. Many times after talking about the trauma I suffered from being teased as a child, from not being heard for years by my husband, My pain actually flares up. When I was doing the exercise about My inner protectors, the...

That’s for sure! You just have to find the humans that understand and accept you. Glad I’m here, surrounded by others who clearly understand.

Thank you very much. I’m so glad this forum was recommended to me.

You hit the nail right on the head. I dealt with him for 30 something years. Not being heard, being told to drop it. Now I have to deal with all the repercussions from it because he’s ill, been in hospitals and rehabs. The last two years have been horrible. I don’t want to take care of him for...

Thank you so much. I’ve been working my way through the pain reprocessing workbook. I hit upon some hard truths and despite my pain, I feel like I’m making a little bit of progress. I was looking at those inner protectors. The first one that came to mind was the bracing. I have pain that moves...
