Thought by Thought Healing

God created our brains with neuroplasticity and the power to change. Since most chronic symptoms are caused by neural circuits in the brain, this means we can heal ourselves. So, yes, because of Him, we have the power within to heal our own symptoms. But ultimately, it's through Him. He has given us a Spirit of Power, Love and Sound mind. This video addresses what it means to have the power within...

I have had a few people request more meditations and somatic practices. So, here you go! This one is on trusting your body and the way it was created. Fear interferes with how the systems in our body work and when we can get out of the way and stop trying to fix them or worry about them, it actually helps them to function at their best. If you want to read my story of recovery or work with me to r...

In this episode, Jen & I talk about the role of God's Redemption in the process of healing from chronic pain. We started working together 1 year ago and so we thought it would be cool to have her share what healing looked like for her and how the healing process (God) has changed her how she sees herself and God. If you want to read my story of recovery or work with me to reduce your symptoms,...

Thoughts can be incredibly controlling, but they don't have to be.  In the same way that we can learn to respond in a helpful way to our symptoms we can also respond to our thoughts in a way that disempowers them.  I talk about the 4 ways I found the most powerful: 1. Say No. 2. Say Yes. 3. Don't itch it. 4. Name it.  I also talk about religious OCD, (scrupulosity). If you woul...

In this episode I was able to interview Tamara Gurin & Rita LaBarbera who have both recovered from CRPS through doing emotional work and targeting the brain. CRPS is different than many other manifestations of TMS because it has visible representation in the body and yet it is still caused and curable by the brain. We also discuss Dystonia and other forms of Mind Body Syndrome. There is so muc...

In this episode I talk about my personal “healed” life. I am going through a rough week with a lot of emotions that in the past would have caused me to have a flare up. This is a practical episode where I made an effort to notice and jot down what types of tools I was/ am using that I believe are what can create healing. You might want to take notes :) #tms #sarno #mindbodysyndrome #mindbodyconnec...

Well friends, I absolutely loved this interview, and I mean it. I interview lots of people on this podcast and I really felt like Dr. Dan Ratner and I really see eye to eye on a lot of this. We talk about so many powerful things that you aren't going to want to miss.   *The word trauma and what it means to have it "stuck" in your body.  *Column Work - dividing symptom&nbsp...

This week I talk about how arguing with our symptoms is foolishness and it’s important to respond with confidence to our symptoms. Sometimes our emotions, thoughts and symptoms are folly. I also talk about how our symptoms are crumbs that lead us to healing. They are a big fat golden arrow that leads us to healing and the sooner we can be thankful for them, the sooner we will see the pathway to he...

Today I had the honor of interviewing Dan Buglio from Pain Free You. See his social media links below. We are both mind body coaches and it was really fun to see the different ways that we approach this work. We talk about whether or not we need to dig into our repressed emotions, indifference, catastrophizing, mind set, personality traits, feeling your feelings and having fun. I hope you enjoy! P...

Merry Christmas everyone! In this episode I talk about the following things: What are boundaries? Why are they important for our relationship with God? Why do unhealthy boundaries contribute to chronic pain? What things do boundaries protect/ not protect? What is the difference between inner and external boundaries? Enjoy, and have a Merry Christmas! If you are looking to reverse your chronic pain...

Jen and I both consider ourselves healed from chronic pain which means we need to stay out of old patterns that can cause us pain. During holidays there is many different opportunities to fall into old habits and so we are using our tools to avoid that and stay grounded in God's "energy" that Paul talks about in Colossians. We talk about what we are preparing for and what tools we are using. Enjoy...

When I was healing, there was no Christian resources out there, but there were some really powerful tools that helped me understand what the enmeshed emotion was within my pain. “Doing the work” means getting to the subconscious emotion and then renewing your mind. Here is one (of many tools) to help you get there. I have created a prayer meditation for you to listen to the Holy Spirit as He guide...

For chornic pain coaching, go to my website: Thoughtbythoughthealing.com In this episode I ask these questions? What caused your pain? What is the story you believe about the people around you? What about the places you go? As humans, we tell stories. They help us make sense of life. But sometimes we believe a story that is incorrect, this causes problems. 1. It sets our brain into danger mode. 2....

In this episode I have Nicholas Koustos with me from Australia. He recently recovered from many many years of a million and one symptoms. His story is super inspiring, and I hope it will be for you too! Nick and I share a common healing story along with our faith in God. We spend most of this interview talking about the tools he found most powerful in his healing journey - self-compassion, being p...

In this episode I talk about the PCS - the pain catastrophizing scale and how the way we think about pain effects the outcome. The good news is that this shows that we have a lot more control over our thoughts, emotions and therefore pain than we ever thought. I talk about graded exposure and how to do it and why it’s important. For chronic pain coaching, check out my website at thoughtbythoughthe...

In this video we talk about Jen Loeffler's recent flare up and how she handled it. It only lasted 4 days which is amazing! You can learn from her. A few notes from this convo: Plan for them: Flare ups can be scary, but if we plan for them, we can prepare our brain's to not freak out. Stay calm: Ultimately, we want to be sure to not freak out, remember that our bodies have healed from this before &...

In this episode I talked about the buzz word safety. What is it? Especially as a Christian, I think we need to analyze what your brain is wanting in order to feel safe and then using scriptures to dump truth all over that. Let His truth, his goodness, into all the crevices of your fears. Are you willing to take this truth and begin to interrupt the fear cycle. The fear cycle won’t interrupt itself...

*See my mantra below. These types of claim help teach the truth to the bodybrain. In this episode I talk about the first step of healing, which is understanding that your brain is in fear that there is something structurally wrong with you,. When you claim the truth that there is nothing wrong with you, the pain reduces because it no longer needs to fear. Side note: The truth ALWAYS sets you free....

In this interview, I talk with Gastroenterologist Doctor David Clarke who is also the author of “They can’t find anything wrong”. I gear my questions towards understanding what exactly we do AFTER we discover we have MindBody pain. *We discuss the following: *The ACE’s study & how it shows the devastating effects of childhood trauma, but how we can recover and reverse symptoms. *The 5 differen...

Winning the war is about fighting the battles with joy and hope. Winning is not about reducing pain, it’s about showing up with hope. This is what rewires the brain. If you consider winning to be “no pain”, you will dread the healing process and your brain will rewire healing as dreadful. thoughtbythoughthealing.com #tms #sarno #johnsarno #neuroplasticpain #christian #jesus #bible #healing #unlear...
