Sometimes we need some help with medications...but just trying to be with it and work with it and be softer with it and kinder to ourselves, and slow down a bit and do what we need to do for our bodies and not try to muscle our way through it.
Chronic pain is an unwelcome companion for millions of adults, affecting every facet of life. Sarah Anne Shockley knows this all too well, having joined the ranks of chronic pain sufferers after a work-related injury in 2007. In this heartfelt episode of Rewired Radio, Sarah sits down with host Erica Spiegelman to share her personal story and the inspiration behind her book, The Pain Companion.
Sarah's journey is not just about enduring pain but finding ways to live with it more mindfully and compassionately. Throughout their conversation, Sarah and Erica explore the multifaceted toll chronic pain takes on one's physical, mental, and emotional well-being. They dive into the often frustrating limitations of the medical system and why sometimes fighting against pain can be counterproductive.
Instead, Sarah emphasizes the importance of self-care and self-compassion, offering practical tips to shift one's perception of pain and learn to slow down. Sarah's insights are invaluable for anyone grappling with chronic pain or supporting a loved one who is. Her approach encourages listeners to be kinder to themselves and to seek a more mindful way of living with pain.
This episode provides a blend of personal anecdotes and broader advice, making it a must-listen for those looking for support and understanding in their journey with chronic pain.
