I know from personal and professional experience that mindfulness works...
Ever thought about how your mind could be your greatest ally in managing pain? In this episode of 'Mindful Recovery', Robert Cox dives into the connection between emotional trauma and physical pain. With opiate addiction on the rise, even among the elderly, Cox explores how mindfulness can be a game-changer in pain management. He doesn't dismiss the role of medications but emphasizes a balanced approach involving honest conversations with your doctor and a thoughtful pain management plan.
Cox shares insights on how early-life trauma can manifest as chronic pain and offers practical advice on using mindfulness techniques to cope. From alternating ibuprofen and Tylenol to a simple yet powerful breathing exercise, Cox provides tools to help you focus on the parts of your body that feel good, rather than those that hurt. It's not always easy to quiet the mind, but with patience and practice, mindfulness can become a valuable part of your recovery journey.
