Recovery from Chronic Pain using Mind-body Medicine | Jean's Story

In this video, Jean shares his inspiring story of hope and recovery with Living Proof Director, Claire. Jean recovered from debilitating chronic pain using a neuroplastic/mind-body approach. He now supports others on recovery journeys as a chronic pain therapist. In the interview, Jean describes: 🌱 how his chronic pain developed - and the impact of symptoms on his life 🌱 how he initially responded to symptoms with approaches that ultimately didn't support healing 🌱 his initial reaction to the neuroplastic / mind-body approach to recovery when he first discovered this 🌱 how he eventually made the connection between his pain and his brain and emotions - and how getting in touch with and processing his emotions greatly assisted his recovery 🌱 the specific techniques and therapies he used to heal including Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Hypnotherapy 🌱 how his relationship with his pain changed as he implemented his neuroscience learning - and and how putting this science into practice is different to researching it 🌱 how and why the mind-body recovery journey can look different for each person 🌱 the latter part of his recovery, including dealing with flare-ups and worries about symptoms returning 🌱 key lessons learnt about mind-body recovery to share with others including the importance of allowing (emotions, sensations, thoughts) as resistance can be counterproductive for healing 🌱 uplifting messages of hope and resilience for others who are healing mind-body symptoms For more inspiring Stories of Hope and Recovery, check out.... 🌐 Living Proof's recovery wall - https://www.livingproof.org.uk/recove... 🎬 Our short films on recovery from chronic pain (https://www.livingproof.org.uk/chroni...) and chronic fatigue (https://www.livingproof.org.uk/me-cfs) 📝 Our blog - https://www.livingproof.org.uk/our-blog Connect with Jean: 📝 Blog - https://www.paintherapycoaching.co.uk... 🌐 Website - https://www.paintherapycoaching.co.uk 📸 Instagram -   / chronicpaintherapist   Connect with Living Proof: 🌐 Our website - https://www.livingproof.org.uk 📸 Instagram - @living_proofuk 💻 Facebook - @livingproofofrecovery 💻 Linkedin - @living-proof-community-interest-company 🗞️ Sign up for our newsletter to learn about upcoming events - https://www.livingproof.org.uk/contact Referenced in the vide: Alan Gordon's book - The Way Out #chronicpain #neuroplasticpain #recoveryispossible #emotionalhealth #healthjourney #healing #nervoussystemhealing #mindbody #neuroplasticity #mindbodyconnection #chronicillnessrecovery #emotionalhealing #mindbodymedicine
