Playback session - audio sample

More than half of all individuals over the age of 50, and many others at younger ages, suffer from chronic pain, which standard medical approaches--including drugs, physical therapy, surgery, acupuncture, and biofeedback--may actually worsen. In this workshop, we'll explore the latest research on the psycho-neurobiology of pain, a complex intermingling of physiological factors, unresolved psychological trauma, and toxic emotions, which often underlie and maintain pain. You'll learn a toolkit of easily learned, mind-body techniques and skills (mindfulness, breathing techniques, "Heart Math" or heart-rhythm control, energy psychology, Somatic Experiencing, and others). These approaches help clients discover the source of their pain, self-regulate, reduce their vulnerability, find greater inner resiliency, and change the life conditions causing their pain in the first place. (This session will continue with Workshop 307.)
