Is Chronic Pain the Bane of Your Existence?
Chronic pain is the single biggest symptom causing people to seek outside help. It's something I see all the time as a practitioner. Often, it's the symptom that's hardest to deal with.
We all have times in life where we experience short periods of acute pain. This can arise from physical, mental, and emotional causes. Of course, most individuals don't realize that these three aspects are really one thing.
It's estimated that about 10% of individuals have chronic pain symptoms. Over time, these wear you down and make life miserable.
Chronic pain syndromes, such as chronic headaches, temporomandibular disorder, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), interstitial cystitis/irritable bladder, pelvic pain, and others, cluster together in an individual. (1)
Chronic pain syndromes often wax and wane. They are transient, with one or the other being dominant at any point. They're often related with symptoms like fatigue, insomnia, brain fog, and/or moodiness.
Adverse Childhood Experiences and other traumas are the primary cause of chronic pain. These can be from your own life or inherited generational patterns. Yes, your great-grandmother's life experiences can affect you here and now!

Here's What Some Are Saying...
basic details on pain
Understanding Pain 101...
Pain is defined as "An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage". (2)
Pain is a sensation you experience in your body. It's subjective, as it's based upon your own prior experiences with it.
- The sensory dimension: Where does it hurt? How big is the pain?
- The emotional dimension: How unpleasant is the pain?
- The cognitive dimension: Have I experienced this before? Am I scared of it? Am I feeling anxious about it? How do I deal with it?
Acute and Chronic Pain
Damaging the tissues creates acute physical pain. Mental and emotional turmoil can also trigger acute feeling physical pain.
Acute physical pain has characteristics of being sharp, burning, cramping, aching, or pressured. Acute pain originating from physical tissue damage diminishes as the injury heals. Acute physical pain arising from mental and emotional sources rarely resolves this way. It's necessary to identify and release the psychological and emotional triggers.
Chronic pain is any pain lasting longer than 3 months. It may be identical to, or different from, acute pain. It's often vague, with no specific signs showing up in the physical body. Studies reveal there are changes in certain brain regions creating chronic pain. These cognitive and emotional areas handle pain regulation. So chronic pain rarely resolves in a simple, linear fashion.

I know this from my personal healing journey. I grew up being used and trafficked. Chronic constipation, low back pain, bladder and prostate issues were my reality. This, along with overflowing emotional toxicity, was my daily experience.
No matter what I was trying, the chronic patterns were not changing. What made it worse was the sense of being stuck without hope. This was my darkest place and the crossroads where I chose to heal, no matter what.
