16 weeks until Christmas!

What if, this year, you didn’t just get through it?

What if you could enjoy it?
Trust your body again.
Say yes to the things pain has been making you say no to.

If you’ve been living with persistent pain — and you’ve tried everything, seen everyone, and still feel like nobody has really understood the whole picture — this is for you.

I have a very limited number of spaces available for my intensive 1:1 NeuroSomatic Pain Program.

We work with the brain, body and nervous system — combining physical rehabilitation with pain science, nervous-system work, mindset and emotional coaching to help change the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

This isn’t about learning to live with your pain.

It’s about discovering what’s possible beyond it.

16 weeks.

Imagine how different Christmas could feel.

There’s a reason I as a practitioner talk about it and this page, about Complex Chronic Pain, reflects it…

Because pain is pain whether it’s emotional or physical and it’s our job to hear the alarm and act accordingly.

I’m going to reflect on my own pain for a moment…because this week already has been profound in the conversations I’ve had and I need to demonstrate the faults and fears I have too. I’m just a human doing my best.

I struggle with The Common Denominator Fallacy.

I take everything that I have been present for in my life that has been negative and make myself the cause of it because I am the common theme, the consistent factor.

It’s like saying “I’ve witnessed 5 car accidents and because I was an observer of them, I caused them. My presence was the reason they happened.”

Every failed relationship involved me
Every friendship challenge involved me
Every family conflict involved me
Every bad decision involved me

I am what goes wrong.

But I also talk a lot about data and evidence and because I am me and I live my life I am the common dataset…so I take each individual experience and rather than examine its own causality, I lump it all together as one failed experiment at life.

This is often what happens with people who have chronic pain…each flare up, and each experience, isn’t felt through the lense of the moment itself, it’s lumped together with every other piece of evidence that ‘proves’ recovery isn’t possible.

But when you conduct an individual ‘causal analysis’ you can see more clearly that flares ups pass, pain lessens, normality returns, pleasure becomes possible again, life is available again.

And guess what?

We are also the common denominator in that too!!!

And the joy, peace, moments of calm and clarity…they are also real, also you, just as much as whatever pain you’re feeling, however you’re feeling it for whatever reason!

I often come out in defence of primary care for this very reason…

So I’m going to rant a little about the prevalence of people who slag off the NHS, GPs in particular for ‘fobbing them off’ in appointments.

The patient walks in with real symptoms, uncertainty and fear over what’s happening to their body that they don’t understand. They want an outcome. They want an answer. They want a solution.

What they are often met with is a Doctor who recognises that whilst the issue still needs to be addressed, the root cause of poor lifestyle choices and high stress/anxiety/depression often still remain. So they ask the questions…

And are then met with vitriol…especially on social media…with angry patients complaining that the doctor banged on about their anxiety and didn’t listen to their symptoms…

But they did…and that’s why they want to talk about it…to ALSO find ways to support that so the patient can get the best outcome.

So yeah…often the ‘anxious patient’ is exactly that…and that needs addressing. Often the patient with high cholesterol is necking 5 pints a night. Often the patient with IBS is eating take outs every night. Not always…but the stats don’t lie.

We do have to take some responsibility for the choices we make about how we live our lives before expecting a GP to unfold a lifetime of poor choices and fix a problem that was preventable in a 15 minute appointment.

Of course there will always be complacent and poor GPs…but there are also complacent and poor patients and the patients have more control than the GP over what they do on the other side of the surgery doors.

We all make mistakes…

Even when we should know better

So here’s my tale of woe from this week where I did not and have not listened to my body…

And then been surprised when it has gone 💥🌋

I’m now on steroids to treat a severe allergic reaction and from the pharmacist to the GP to the A&E doctor the message has been the same..

The body has a tolerance for stress whether it be physical or emotional…there is a finite point at which it can’t keep the basic systems functioning optimally whilst also being under external load…and it will let you know when it needs a break.

I have been aware of the odd thing not feeling ‘quite right’ for a few weeks…heaviness, fatigue, struggling to focus, but because I had a day at the spa, had an easier day at work, took a day off from the gym but walked instead, I just assumed I was managing the load well.

But the stress of the last few months plus the stress of training and the stress of a few other things playing on my mind has meant that I’ve kept using petrol from the tank that was rapidly running out.

Which meant it didn’t take much for my CNS to essentially breakdown.

I needed a severe allergic reaction and fainting in public for me to realise that I fu**ed up and get myself to hospital and take 2 days off work on an already short week.

This is not ideal…

But…another day of looking like s**t, another day of not being able to serve my clients, another day of just plugging on…means I am now actively going against any advice I would give to anyone I work with…

So for now, read my story and just check in with yourself…when was the last time you listened to what your body told you? When did you last check in on how you felt emotionally?

What can you do now to give yourself what you need?

The end…
