Shownotes

In mindbody healing, we all deal with doubt. We all deal with disbelief. The people in your life may not believe this will work. Parts of you may not believe this will work. But, if you have TMS, then psychological and emotional modalities are the way forward. In healing TMS, there’s actually no other way.

In this Episode:

🔹 Does one small change heal chronic pain? Usually not.

🔹 What heals chronic pain? A serious mental paradigm shift.

🔹 Today, we examine the complexity of the whole paradigm shift.

🔹 But, we also make it simple.

🔹 We boil it down to: “radical empathy for self all day every day,” “learning to develop unconditional love for yourself,” and “an overall sort-of-vaguely conceptual sense of acceptance of what’s going on in your life, and acceptance of who you truly are.”

🔹 And, we also do some practice in combating doubt.

This episode will help you understand how the whole mindbody paradigm works. Join us.
