How to deal with pain in your body with Jamie Webb
Manage episode 424509716 series 2358889
In this episode, I'm joined by Jamie Webb, a sports therapist, to discuss how to deal with physical pain and the connection between our physical and psychological states.
Jamie emphasises the importance of understanding that pain is a signal, not necessarily an indicator of tissue damage, and that our thoughts, emotions, and life experiences can manifest physically in our bodies.
We explore the polyvagal theory, which explains the different states of our nervous system (fight, flight, freeze, and flow) and how our bodies and emotions are interconnected. Jamie shares his approach of working with clients holistically, considering their physical, emotional, and psychological aspects, and the need to sometimes address the underlying psychological factors to alleviate physical pain.
I trust our conversation add further understanding of the mind-body connection and the significance of being adaptable and able to transition between different nervous system states for overall well-being.
Key Learnings:
1. Pain is a signal, not necessarily an indicator of tissue damage.
2. Our thoughts, emotions, and life experiences can manifest physically in our bodies.
3. The polyvagal theory explains the different states of our nervous system (fight, flight, freeze, and flow) and how our bodies and emotions are interconnected.
4. Addressing underlying psychological factors can help alleviate physical pain.
5. Being adaptable and able to transition between different nervous system states is crucial for overall well-being.
