Brain Awareness Week: You Are Not Your Thoughts

For those living with chronic pain, the mind can be just as relentless as the body. Thoughts like “I am broken” or “I will never heal” can feel overwhelming and absolute. But what if you didn’t have to fight these thoughts—only see them for what they are?

A powerful shift happens when we create space between ourselves and our thoughts. Instead of saying “I am broken,” try saying, “I’m having a thought that I am broken.” This small change reminds us that a thought is just a mental event, not a truth.

When we stop letting our thoughts define us, we take away their control. This is a key part of Pain Reprocessing Therapy—learning to relate to pain and fear-driven thoughts in a new way. The brain is adaptable, and with practice, we can train it to move toward safety, resilience, and even relief.

This Brain Awareness Week, let’s remember: We don’t have to control our thoughts—we just have to stop them from controlling us.

Your Brain, Pain, and the Power of Hope

It’s Brain Awareness Week, and there’s no better time to talk about something our brains are wired for—negative bias. This is our brain’s natural tendency to focus on danger, threats, and worst-case scenarios. While this bias once helped us survive, it can work against us, especially for those living with chronic pain.

When pain persists, our brain starts interpreting it as a sign of ongoing danger, reinforcing fear and hopelessness. Thoughts like “This will never get better” or “I’m broken” are not truths—they’re echoes of a nervous system stuck in overprotection mode.

But here’s the truth: There is always hope.

Hope can feel scary when we’ve been disappointed before. But it’s also a lifeline, a way to remind our brain that safety and healing are possible. Science shows that our brains are changeable—we can rewire them, shift out of fear, and reduce pain over time.

So if your brain is telling you there’s no way forward, know this: Brains can change. Pain can change. And hope is never out of reach.

🧠 Brain Awareness Week: Managing Our Thoughts with Mindfulness

Did you know that the average human has around 60,000–70,000 thoughts per day? That’s a lot of mental chatter!

Many of these thoughts are automatic, repetitive, and sometimes even untrue. Our brains are wired to scan for danger and solve problems, which can lead to negative or anxious thinking. But here’s the good news: you don’t have to believe every thought you think.

Mindfulness helps us step back and observe our thoughts without getting caught up in them. By practicing awareness, we can:
✨ Recognize unhelpful thought patterns
✨ Respond instead of react
✨ Cultivate more peace and presence

This Brain Awareness Week, take a moment to pause, breathe, and remind yourself: You are not your thoughts. 💙

This , we celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of women worldwide. But we also recognize that the fight for equality is far from over—especially when it comes to healthcare.

Women are disproportionately affected by chronic pain, yet their pain is often dismissed or undertreated compared to men’s:

📌 Chronic pain is more common in women – Studies show that women are more likely to experience conditions like migraines, fibromyalgia, and autoimmune disorders. Yet, research into these conditions remains underfunded.

📌 Pain is often dismissed – Women are less likely than men to receive pain medication and more likely to be prescribed antidepressants instead, reinforcing outdated stereotypes about pain being “all in their head.”

📌 Gender bias in healthcare is real – Research has found that women’s pain is taken less seriously by doctors, leading to delays in diagnosis and treatment. This can have devastating consequences, particularly for conditions like endometriosis, which takes an average of 7–10 years to diagnose.

Chronic pain isn’t just a medical issue—it’s a gender equality issue. Women deserve to be believed, supported, and treated with the same urgency as men.

This International Women’s Day, let’s commit to breaking the bias in pain care. Every woman in pain deserves to be heard.
