💥Pain isn’t just physical💥

When we take a biopsychosocial approach to understanding pain, we come to realise it’s a complex experience influenced by our biology, psychology & social environments..this is a holistic & systemic approach to working with pain where context matters & everything is grist for the mill when supporting individuals to manage pain.

In terms of recovery & healing, the 2 foundational components to working with pain are Nervous System Regulation & Beliefs/Mindset 🧠🫀🫁👀

Let’s break down the types of pain first and the crucial role of our nervous system in healing. 💡

Types of Pain:

🚑 Acute Pain: Short-term and usually linked to injury or surgery. It signals the body to take protective action.

💥 Chronic Pain: Lasts for months or years, often persisting beyond the initial injury. It can significantly affect quality of life.

🧠 Neuroplastic pain: pain not caused by an injury or pain that stays long after an injury is healed. This type of pain happens when the brain misinterprets safe messages from the body as if they were dangerous..like a false alarm, the brain is misreading signals..this type of pain is very common in chronic pain.

👤 Nociceptive pain: caused by damage to body tissue, often caused by external injury, like dental procedure, sports injury or burning your hand on a hot surface. Pain is sharp, aching or throbbing.

🧬Neuropathic Pain: Caused by nerve damage, leading to sensations like burning or shooting pain.

🤷‍♀️Regardless of the type of pain experienced, nervous system regulation is essential:

Our nervous system is like the body’s control center, managing how we respond to pain.

👉A dysregulated nervous system can amplify pain signals. Techniques like deep breathing and mindfulness help calm these reactions 🌬️

👉 Promotes Healing: A balanced nervous system supports the body’s natural healing processes, reducing inflammation and stress hormones 🌱

👉 Enhances Coping: When our nervous system is regulated, we can better manage pain, our perspective is clearer, improved thinking & decision making skills & capacity to accept support from others 👥

What are your pain points when it comes to pain? 👇

🌟DIMS & SIMS 🌟

🚨 We can think of Neuroception as a high tech surveillance system that is constantly on the look out & responding to cues of safety and cues of danger (see pt 3 pain series-the cues can come from inside me, outside me or between us).

⚖️ The more cues of danger it receives, the more dysregulated we become and this becomes a breeding ground for ill health, pain, disease, anxiety, depression etc.

🥴 A dysregulated Nervous System not only amplifies pain but has the potential to misread signals causing a misfiring where the sensation of pain is caused by the brain rather than the supposed site of pain, known as Neuroplastic pain (more on that later). This is very common with chronic pain & FND.

📚🤓With Nervous System awareness we can actively support Neuroception by consciously helping the high tech surveillance system to accurately interpret signals & by inputting more cues of safety than danger so that the alarm can be silenced.

🛑DIMS & ✅ SIMS are a really simple way to support our Nervous System. What are they?

🔴 DIMS (Danger In Me Signals):

Examples:
🚫 Physical: An injury, chronic illness, or tension, braced muscles.

💼 Emotional: Stress at work, financial worries, or relationship issues.

💭 Cognitive: Negative thoughts, fears about health, or past trauma.

Effect: These signals make our brain perceive more danger, heightening pain and discomfort & increasing Nervous System dysregulation

✅ SIMS (Safety In Me Signals):

Examples:
🌳 Physical: movement, good nutrition, release tension and adequate rest,

❤️ Emotional: Support from friends and family, engaging in hobbies, or practicing gratitude.

🧘 Cognitive: healing/helpful thoughts, radical acceptance of what is, and relaxation techniques.

Effect: These signals make our brain feel safe, reducing pain perception and promoting recovery.

By recognizing and balancing our DIMS and SIMS, we regulate our Nervous System & reduce the risk of developing pain/disease/ill health.

Remember, we have the power to actively invite more SIMS to create a sense of safety to help the Nervous System switch off the alarm to enable healing, health & recovery to occur🌈✨

👀👂Neuroception is how the Nervous System listens & detects whether we are safe or in danger. It does this in 3 ways:

• Exteroception - what is going on outside me in the environment

• Interoception- what is going on inside me internally

• & between us- what is going on relationally between me & my environment.

Through neuroception the Nervous System is constantly scanning for signs of danger & it is doing this below our levels of conscious awareness, so we are not always consciously aware of what the nervous system is picking up in the background of our lives & sometimes what it is picking up as danger isn’t dangerous at all, it’s simply a false alarm) 🚨

‼️ What’s also crucial to remember is that the Nervous System doesn’t know the difference between a real or imagined event or a thought that I am thinking and it doesn’t care about past or future, everything is now. It’s a very primitive system & only considers ‘danger or safe’….context doesn’t matter when it comes to Neuroception & the Nervous System

💡Why does this matter?

Whether I AM being chased down the street by a scary dog or THINKING about being chased down the street by a scary dog or WORRYING that I might be chased down the street by a scary dog…the Nervous System is detecting all 3 in the same way…the Nervous System is neurocepting this as a danger/threat to your safety & activates the alarm, sending you into a fight/flight/freeze response.

Remember, in fight/flight/freeze, the body is in protection mode & cannot heal or recover.

❓When it comes to pain, FND & health challenges, think about how you might be encouraging a neuroception of danger by the thoughts that you think, what you feel, worry about & how you relate to and experience the world around you?

When we bring PERCEPTION to NEUROCEPTION, we actively support the Nervous System to switch off the alarm by sending signals of safety to the bodymind.

👉Reframe thoughts to healing supportive thoughts
👉Practice acceptance vs resistance of pain/symptoms
👉Talk to yourself with kindness, care & compassion

Stay tuned for more on building cues of safety & reducing cues of danger so that you can help your body to heal & recover 🫀🧠🫁

🙏 What if your symptoms are all part of your Souls Divine plan?

✨ In Transpersonal Psychology, nothing is random or meaningless…when we decide to hold curiosity & compassion for our unfolding experience & see beyond the surface layers, we discover an inherent wisdom contained within the challenges we face.

👁️ Viewing our symptoms as messengers, we can ask ourselves:

✅ What is my body trying to communicate to me?

✅ In what ways might I be out of alignment in some aspect of my life?

✅ What inner truth does my body know that I may be ignoring, denying, resisting or turning away from?

💭 Beliefs that I am not enough..being unable to say no..or hold strong boundaries..trying to please others & abandon our own needs…fears of lack..these manifest in the body as physical symptoms..your Soul wants you to self actualise & it uses the body to communicate to you when you ignore its whispers.

🫴 The Soul knocks…gently at first..& it keeps on knocking at the door until it tears the house down..it is trying to wake you up to your own potential to liberate you ⚡️✨

🚨Driven by fear, fear enters our energy field & biological system, keeping our Nervous Systems alarm on..creating fear based thoughts, which in turn constricts our body, keeps us in a state of hypervigilance, reinforcing the need for the alarm to stay on.

🙏 When we allow faith to lead us, we surrender to what is & trust that we are being guided from beyond for our highest good. This gives our Nervous System an opportunity to relax, settle, turn off the alarm & we enter a state of thriving, where healing can occur…mind body & soul in coherence & harmony ♾️⭐️🔥

❣️ No One said it would be easy…it takes hard work & continuous active effort to drop fear & hold faith…it’s a repetitive act that we consciously embody every single day..trust…give your body mind a chance to heal & thrive…being compassionate with yourself if you drop the ball, it’s ok, you are enough..this is gold for the nervous system & Soul ❤️
