Myth: Fibromyalgia is a type of depression. 💥⬇️

Fact: Lifelong depression happens to about 40% of people with fibromyalgia. Some symptoms of the two conditions overlap. Certain genes and psychological traits are associated with both diseases.

But that doesn't mean they're the same. In fact, research continues on the causes of both conditions.

People with chronic pain are three times more likely to develop symptoms of anxiety. That’s why it’s important to have your emotional and cognitive health in mind and to speak up when you experience signs of anxiety. 🙌

Some relaxation techniques that can help calm the nervous system with several techniques to choose from, and it may take some time to find the one that works best for you. 🌱

Some people find that visualization techniques work well, while others prefer to focus on muscle relaxation. There are also audiotapes and CDs available that can help guide you through relaxation exercises.

Today, I want to share this easy exercise with you in hopes it might be of help for some.

Enter somatic bodywork. ⬇️🌱
Somatic bodywork is based on the understanding that the energy of your emotions can get ‘stuck’ in your physical body. Let's take a close look at what this is about in this post.✨

Practitioners of somatic (experiencing®) therapy believe thoughts, emotions, and sensations are interconnected and influence one another. 🌱⬇️

When you talk about chronic pain, their approach is that the pain could be influenced by what you think or feel.

Read in depth about Somatic Body Work and my personal experience with it on my website link in bio. 👏

MYTH: It’s A Middle Aged Woman’s Illness. ❌⬇️

Fact: Although more women than men are diagnosed with fibromyalgia, the condition can affect men, women and children.

The condition doesn’t discriminate by age, race or gender. But it does pose a question, what do all of these people have in common? And as women are the biggest group, what patterns do we see there?

The way I see it; women try to do it all. Happy household, exciting career, blooming friendships and responsibility for the wellbeing of their parents. With so many responsibilities, no wonder this can worsen other conditions! As there are (luckily) more and more women healing from Fibromyalgia, we can see them as an example, and learn from them. 🌱

Let's use it as a benefit that so many women are suffering from this illness and see what they've done to be where they are now! 👏

The book is full of scientific research about pain, with different examples of his clients that were bed-ridden with pain who managed to fully heal! ⬇️

My 4 biggest take-aways from the book: 👏

1. Amazing examples of people healing
2. Interesting to understand more of how pain science has developed
3. Comforting to clearly see that there is a bias and lack of understanding of doctors towards pain (and therefore there are still so many opportunities to improve!)
4. Good to reflect if anything you read about applies to you too in some way�.

Hypnosis is often used to help people manage and cope with pain or anxiety, or eliminate undesired behaviors like smoking and over-eating.

Many people use hypnosis to alleviate the pain of fibromyalgia, and it was shown to significantly better outcomes on measures of muscle pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and distress during a controlled study of fibromyalgia patients.

Happy Mother’s Day 🤍
Just a reminder that if Mother’s Day brings out conflicted feelings in you, I want you to know that that is okay and your feelings and experience is valid. ✨

Love and hugs to everyone.

Research proves that regularly articulating positive affirmations has been shown to decrease stress, increase positive health behaviors, and decrease focus on negative experiences. 👏⬇

Using positive affirmations can also be an effective approach to confronting chronic pain.

Trigger Warning: mentions of predatory behavior. ⬇

Chronic pain and predators
There is a lot to write about this topic. Having lived in Asia for quite a while now, where people’s search for healing is quite out in the open, the stories sometimes seem endless. After just another really rotten story that I’ve heard, I decided to write a Blogpost.

Please click the link in bio to read in depth about my experience. Hopefully it can be of help for you. ✨👏
