Most people with chronic pain aren’t actually stuck because nothing is working…
They’re stuck because they’re chasing the end goal.
Pain-free. Fixed. Back to normal.
And when that doesn’t happen quickly, it feels like failure.
So you stop.
Or you second guess everything.
Or you keep searching for the next “thing” that will finally fix it.
But chronic pain doesn’t work like that.
It’s not about getting rid of every sensation.
It’s about building your capacity, your confidence, and your understanding of your body again.
And that means sitting in the uncomfortable middle.
The bit where it’s not gone yet… but you’re doing more than you were before.
The bit where you’re not 100% sure… but you keep showing up anyway.
That’s where change actually happens.
Not in the perfect week.
Not in the absence of pain.
But in the consistency when it feels uncertain.
If you’re in that space right now… you’re not failing.
You’re just in the process.
Keep going 🤍
