How do you reconcile with the idea that you may never be the person you once were? Join us as we unravel this tender and challenging journey, starting with a light-hearted update on our recent kid-free adventure and the charming Dumbo-themed birthday party we're planning for our son. We then pivot to a profound discussion on the impact of chronic pain and symptoms, often rooted in a lifetime of coping mechanisms. This episode emphasizes the necessity of grieving the loss of your former self and embracing new ways to manage and cope with chronic conditions, offering a compassionate perspective on acceptance and adjustment.
Living a high-intensity lifestyle driven by constant achievement can significantly contribute to health flares. Tanner shares a deeply personal story from his master's degree days, highlighting how relentless pursuit of perfection led to increased symptoms. We emphasize the importance of sustainable lifestyle changes, underscoring the value of resources like podcasts and UA-cam meditations to foster a sense of safety for your brain and nervous system.

I resonated with the 'passion mixed with fear' part! This was my 'normal' mode before my setback. It was not tenable. Thankyou so much for bringing all of this to our attention 🌿🥰
I'm so glad this video was helpful. I wish you the best in your healing!
Yup the amount of times I said I just want to go back to the old me.. maybe thousands? And it Terrified me that I needed to change.. because I generally like the person I was… but now I see that I can still be me but with some modifications like you said..
And I think k you being honest to say there is a huge grieving piece to that realization is important
Thanks for all u do
I wish you the best in your healing!
I'm retired but before I became disregulated a was an obsessive volunteer and would say yes to just about anyone who needed help on their project or committee. I am just coming to the realization that I cannot do that anymore and am feeling that I may not be liked. I guess I'm a ppl pleaser. So when my symptoms finally subside I am going to limit my volunteering to one or two projects that are important to me and politely decline invitations and requests to do more.
You two are so wonderful to offer all the support and help that you offer....thank you, thank you, thank you.
I wish you the best in your healing!

It's so true that skills to keep chronic symptoms low or in remission need to be practiced regularly. Thank you for sharing important insights.

I find that in a way, I'm afraid to branch out anymore, to achieve. I work a job that I don't really like. I lived in fear here for a while with managerial abuse, yelling, threats.....etc. Life has been traumatic. I've learned a lot about TMS. I sleep a lot now, but I struggle with the idea of taking on more responsibility. I feel kind of dead on the inside where all I want to do is stay in bed, even when I feel great. I could sleep for a year. For now my pelvic pain goes in waves. I may have two good weeks and two bad weeks. When I feel better I feel so hopeful, and I struggle against the bad thoughts when I don't feel so great. This has been a tough journey. I've been seriously practicing TMS for about 8 months. I feel kind of slow, and don't know if I'm on the right track. I see where so many people get better in months and I'm like, How???
I"m sorry to hear what you are going through. I hope my content can be helpful!
@@Moonless6491 it’s helpful to be mindful of what emotions are actively present at the time of elevated pain/sensations/symptoms. Sounds like you’re sensitive like me, and emotions, trauma, sadness, etc., when they take over, wreak havoc throughout my body. We’re right where we’re supposed to be in this learning process.
Wow it’s like hearing my own story. I have struggled with chronic low back and pelvic pain. What has been chronic as well is the depression, fear and anxiety. I decided that this year I’m going to dedicate myself to all aspects of my health but specifically my mental health. I recently had a procedure on my lower back and my pain has significantly decreased but what I noticed the most is that I have mental clarity. Not the mental fog and fatigue. Which has made me be able to see what my mental needs are and write myself a mental health care plan along with my physical health care putting both together. I realized that what Tanner and his wife were saying is that in order to maintain recovery is that all of the work I am doing is something that has to be a lifestyle choice if I want to maintain mental and physical health and stability. Thank you for the podcast.
I’m excited for this one
I wish you the best in your healing!

I wish you the best in your healing!

I find now that when I go back into old ways and push myself too much I will flare
Good insight to have. Keep going!
אורח חיים ראשון - סוג של רונאלדו
אורח חיים שני - סוג של המנעות
אורח חיים שלישי - לא שמעתי....
I wish you the best in your healing!
Thank you🙏 I didn't heard what is the third life style.
The first one- intense
The second- avoidance
And the third?
