How its going

So today as a part of the program is to talk about how we are going with it. So far I have noticed some things in terms of the way I am operating however I havent noticed much in terms of physical pain relief. Im definitely starting to notice what is going on with me emotionally and think psychologically about it. I am aware of the sensations and do not go into any storytelling around it. I have noticed some stages of the day the pain is less however it is quite random and I have not found any consistent pattern that I can attribute it to then.

Ive been using some somatic techniques to soothe the pain as I go throughout the day. Im moving more and just allowing the pain to do whatever it wants to do. I have been working on trying to notice when anger is there especially when it is subtle and I am allowing myself to be comfortable with unpleasant emotions as I go.

 

You’re doing great! This is exactly how it goes. Mental and emotional changes come first.
