Why won't your pain go away?
Here's why: Chronic pain isn’t a damage problem. We get hyperfocued on throwing treatment after treatment at it. This is why it either doesn't help OR it helps until it doesn't anymore and you regress.
It’s a loop.
Fear feeds pain.
Pain feeds avoidance.
Avoidance feeds more pain.
The way out? Regulation, safety, and rewiring.

Did you know that there are different pain types?
Most of what we struggle with is called 'nociplastic' pain.
This is my area of specialty.

Nociplastic pain is a type of chronic pain resulting from altered, heightened processing in the central nervous system, rather than direct tissue damage or nerve injury. It involves a dysfunctional pain signaling system (central sensitization), leading to widespread, persistent pain (lasting >3 months), often accompanied by fatigue, sleep disturbances, and cognitive issues.

Are you dealing with this? Let's talk about the key signs:

-Widespread/Multi-regional Pain: Pain present in many areas, or multiple chronic pain conditions.
-Increased Pain Sensitivity: Pain felt more easily, often disproportionate to actual injury (allodynia, hyperalgesia).
-Fatigue & Sleep Issues: Profound tiredness and disrupted sleep.
-Cognitive Dysfunction (Brain Fog): Problems with memory, focus, and thinking.
-Mood Disturbances: Depression, anxiety, and irritability.
-Sensory Sensitivity: Heightened reactions to light, sound, smells, and touch.
-Unresponsiveness to Conventional Treatments: Poor reaction to anti-inflammatories, opioids, or surgery.

Nociplastic pain signals that the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) has become overactive, amplifying pain signals even after an initial injury has healed. It's a real condition, often triggered by stress or injury, but maintained by the brain's altered processing.

Some of the most common nociplastic conditions:
Fibromyalgia, Chronic Migraine/Tension Headaches, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Chronic Pelvic Pain, and Chronic Low Back Pain (often mixed with other pain types).

The good news is: this is my area of expertise.

Chronic pain or symptoms that do not go away? Here is a list of personality traits directly linked to the development of mindbody conditions.(Migraine, tmj, chronic neck/back/shoulder/etc pain, IBS, eczema..the list is extensive)
So if you have tried everything, doctors don’t have an answer and you’re still not better: let’s start to explore this from a neuroplastic lens within the nervous system and unconscious mind.

Men, this one is for you: you’ve been conditioned to believe that showing emotion is weakness and that vulnerability is a liability.
That “real men” are stoic, unshakable, untouchable.

Here is a neuroscience fact: the brain cannot tell the difference between emotional threat and physical threat. When you were shamed for crying, or taught to “toughen up,” your nervous system learned: “Feeling = danger.”Your body stored that threat. That’s why stress shows up in muscles, breathing, and energy, not always as pain.

Why Boys Are Conditioned This Way:
-Cultural Myths: “Boys don’t cry. Be tough. Don’t be soft.”
-Intergenerational Trauma: Caregivers passed down shame and suppression.
-Social Policing: Teased for sensitivity, rewarded for stoicism.
-Survival Pressures: Historically, strength and control were valued over emotional literacy.
-Brain Confusion: The nervous system interprets emotional shame as threat and tension builds.
Result: men grow up disconnected from their own feelings, carrying stress in muscles, habits, and health.

Here’s what your body already knows: ignoring your emotions doesn’t make you stronger, it actually makes your nervous system work overtime.
That tension in your jaw. Those tight shoulders. That back pain that doesn’t go away. The acid reflux. The drive to abuse substance..The shallow breathing. The fatigue that won’t quit. That’s your body carrying unprocessed emotion.
That’s your nervous system signaling it never learned it’s safe to feel feelings.
You are a man in chronic go mode. Carrying it all for your family, your partner, being the strong one.
It’s isolating.
But you are part of the collective nervous system. How you feel, how you regulate, how you show up, it matters. Your presence, your safety, your attunement anchors everyone around you.
Being in touch with your emotions isn’t being a baby.
It is absolutely necessary.
It’s courageous.
It’s what ALLOWS you to lead, protect, and show up fully in the world without trauma running the show.

Step into your emotions. Regulate your nervous system. Feel what’s there. Release what’s been stored.
Lead from presence and not control.
You are a pillar and safety anchor for the collective nervous system.
Your body, your mind, your emotions, they matter. YOU matter.
