Join the Battling Chronic Pain with Neuroscience Community >> https://www.facebook.com/groups/661471315077252
Do you experience increased pain, fatigue, and discomfort around holidays or when traveling? If so, you're not alone. In this episode, I will explore why people with chronic pain often feel worse during these times, and how it relates to their nervous system's need for consistency. Our bodies are designed to thrive on routine and consistency, and any deviation from our usual schedule can be stressful for our nervous system. When we travel or have visitors, our routines are disrupted, which can exacerbate chronic pain and make it more difficult to manage. Whether you're planning a trip or expecting visitors, this episode will provide valuable information and support to help you navigate the challenges of chronic pain during the holiday season and beyond.

| [Personal Story] From Punishment to Purpose & Protection in My Faith Journey | 13 Apr 2023 | 00:34:34 | |
I'm doing something a little out of the ordinary in this episode... because I'm sharing the details of my faith journey in this episode, along with the lessons I've learned and the insights my faith journey has given me as it relates to chronic pain. Culturally, it's believed that science and faith don't mix, which is why I have avoided sharing details of my faith story even though it is a big part of who I am and why I'm here. But health and wellness is not just physical and mental, it involves spiritual wellness as well. So in the name of healing, I hope that by sharing my story and these insights, you find something you can connect with or relate to.

| The Chronic Pain Paradox: Why the Healthcare System Fails Those Who Need It Most | 06 Apr 2023 | 00:35:13 | |
In this episode, I'm discussing the failure of the health care system when it comes to chronic pain. Despite holding doctors and the healthcare system in high regard, patients with chronic pain continue to be failed by the very institutions they put their trust in. From being denied care to experiencing gaslighting and making them wait, chronic pain patients continuously face numerous challenges within the health care system that can actually make the pain problem worse. We'll explore the why the failures of the health care system are detrimental to patients and talk about the urgent need for compassionate care, the shift towards proactive and preventative chronic pain care, and empowering patients to take charge of their health. Join me as I aim to shed some light on the chronic pain paradox that affects millions worldwide. How We Can Work Together:

| "But MY pain is different": Challenging the Belief that YOUR Pain is Untreatable | 30 Mar 2023 | 00:26:39 | |
Join the Battling Chronic Pain with Neuroscience Community >> https://www.facebook.com/groups/661471315077252
The truth is, it's easy to fall into this trap of believing that your pain is completely unique and untreatable. In this episode, I'm going to explore why having chronic pain can make you feel a little bit like a "special snowflake" and how that mindset may not be helpful for you and could be holding you back from healing and recovery. As a physical therapist, I was trained to look for the unique abnormalities contributing to each patient's condition and then create a unique treatment plan that would try to address each of those pieces. So in that way, no two pains are the same. But I had to realize that ALL pain has this one commonality, regardless of the unique variables present. So we'll talk about this commonality among all kinds of chronic pain and how challenging the "special snowflake" mindset can really open up new avenues for you.

I have had the unique experience of creating multiple pain programs across the US and have learned alot along the way about what works and what doesn't work.

Gaining a deeper understanding of the biology of pain and the role the nervous system plays in pain. 2. A consistent daily practice of nervous system retraining drills & strategies. 3. A step-by-step plan to get you through any situation or set back. 4. Expert Guidance & Accountability 5. Community Support In this episode, I'll dive deep into why each of these elements are so important and how you can incorporate these pieces into your pain care approach.

Join the Battling Chronic Pain with Neuroscience Community >> https://www.facebook.com/groups/661471315077252 Emily is a nurse practitioner and mother who struggled with chronic migraines since she was a young girl. She got to a point where she noticed it was taking less and less to trigger her migraines and was certain her nervous system was part of the problem, but just didn't know HOW to address it. Emily dove in to the Chronic Pain Breakup Method and is now living a different life because of it. Today, after just 16 weeks, Emily says her migraines are less intense and frequent AND she has significantly less brain fog, fatigue, fear & anxiety. She's experiencing longer stretches of days without migraine and now has practical tools that she can use to reduce the duration and intensity of her migraine significantly. The best part was that it didn't take any woo woo or strange practices... She says the program as a whole is what enabled her to change her situation for the better, although she admits that the neuroscience education and learning a simple practice of pacing was more helpful than expected.

| The Present & Presence of Pain | 08 Nov 2022 | 00:21:27 | |
Join the Battling Chronic Pain with Neuroscience Community >> https://www.facebook.com/groups/661471315077252 Pain comes with so much stigma, isolation, confusion, fear, and misunderstanding. Those who haven't experienced pain have no clue just how vastly and widely it impacts and changes your life. In this episode, I explore one reason WHY chronic pain comes with so much stigma that leads to minimization and the hiding and masking of pain. AND I'm doing something a little out of the ordinary for myself, I'm sharing a piece that was written by one of my current clients, many years ago, documenting the extent pain has changed her life. And in this story I hope that you find yourself somewhere in her story, can relate, and feel, not so alone. Special thanks to the writer, Amanda Gieve, for sharing this piece with me and giving me permission to share it with the world.

| Hiding Pain Behind a Mask | 25 Oct 2022 | 00:16:38 | |
Join the Battling Chronic Pain with Neuroscience Community >> https://www.facebook.com/groups/661471315077252 When you have chronic pain, you learn to hide it behind a mask as a way to cope. It's a way to feel connected to those around you, to, sort of, fake it to fit in. Humans crave connection, but could you imagine being part of a community where it's safe to be in a state of healing? Could you imagine a community that is okay with having uncomfortable conversations, that supports growth and vulnerability instead of viewing it as weakness. Community, connection and understanding is a vital component to healing the chronic pain problem, which is exactly why I've built this essential element into my program, the Chronic Pain Breakup Method. Find a time to set up a free phone call with me today, to have a conversation about your pain and find out what else is needed to make healing happen for you. ==> https://www.alissawolfe.com/book-call

| CLIENT SUCCESS STORY: Chanda Says: "It makes me feel like a human again" | 13 Oct 2022 | 00:46:10 | |
This was one heck of a heartwarming conversation... Let me first give you a little back story... I met Chanda about 8 months ago. She was struggling with the YEARS (decades) of chronic pain and illness. She was doing everything she could to try to feel better... EVERYTHING. She got to a point where, like so many, she couldn't imagine her life could be any better. In addition to sciatica, back pain, and shoulders that felt like glass, the worst of her pain was the constant, debilitating migraines. After chatting about how much she had been through and already tried, it made sense to me that she would be skeptical about trying something else... But despite her skepticism, she decided to give it a try, figuring since it was science-based, it had to be worth a try (spoiler alert... it WAS!!). She (hesitantly) got started in the Chronic Pain Breakup Method and her results were too phenomenal not to share! Within a matter of weeks, she started noticing a difference. Something clicked... and before she knew it she had reached her goal of being able to work out every day. "To go from, not just bed bound, but SOOO ILL in bed, to now, I've got something everyday that I'm doing. That is incredible. I really never thought I'd be able to do anything ever again." But my favorite part about Chanda's story is that she didn't have to believe it would work for it to work. "I'm able to manage it and function much more than I was before... and it didn't take extreme effort. It didn't take belief. It didn't take anything woo-woo. It just is something that works." In this episode, Chanda shares her inspiring story of transformation, and talks about:
