Feeling the pain of maybe a diagnosis you've got, or something, the pain in your body right now, or sitting, feeling the emotional pain of a small child, maybe not feeling good enough, maybe unlovable, maybe worthless or not important- which do you think your system would think is even more painful?
Have you ever wondered if your chronic pain might be more than just a physical ailment? In this thought-provoking episode of 'The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast', host Caroline Strawson unpacks the complex relationship between chronic pain and emotional trauma, especially from narcissistic abuse. Caroline, an award-winning trauma therapist, shares her deep understanding of how emotional wounds can manifest as physical pain.
Drawing on her extensive experience and a variety of therapeutic techniques, Caroline explains how the body reacts to traumatic experiences. She delves into the concept of 'protector parts' from Internal Family Systems therapy, illustrating how these parts can shield us from emotional pain but also contribute to chronic physical discomfort. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with unexplained chronic pain, offering a fresh perspective on its potential roots in emotional trauma.
Caroline also highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing emotional pain, which is often as debilitating as physical pain. She provides practical insights into how trauma-informed approaches can pave the way for healing. By understanding how our brain and nervous system respond to trauma, listeners can gain valuable tools for alleviating both emotional and physical pain. This episode offers hope and actionable advice for those dealing with the dual burdens of chronic pain and emotional trauma.
Whether you're a survivor of narcissistic abuse or someone struggling with persistent pain, Caroline's compassionate guidance will help you on your journey towards healing and post-traumatic growth.
