Betsy combine the latest neuroscience research about pain with tools from Life Coaching to bring you an integrated approach to understanding and healing your chronic pain or disease.

Have you noticed that stress or emotions can make your pain worse? Have you spent time and money on physical treatments that do not work? Have you been to several Doctors and still don’t have answers to what is going on and why you still have pain?

Chronic pain, in almost all cases, is not due to structural abnormalities, but to learned nerve pathways. It’s called NEUROGENIC PAIN, and it means your brain produces the pain signals that are felt in your body as pain. The pain is NOT in your head, and the body pain or disease it causes IS felt in the body.

Chronic pain and disease are centered around fear.

Fear ramps up the nervous system (think-fight or flight). But our nervous systems can only handle being on high-alert for so long. Breakdown of the body occurs. Hypervigilance feels important, but it starts to effect all aspects of your life. You aren’t sleeping, which is the time cells need to rest and repair. Immunity is compromised (you don’t have the energy)- leading to autoimmune disorders.

Suppressed or unconscious emotions are also seen as fear to the nervous system. So when you push too much down for too long, your brain begins the fear-pain cascade in reaction. The fear of pain and around pain actually creates MORE pain in your body.

Personality traits like high achieving, perfectionism, people pleasing, and wanting to be seen as good can register as danger for the nervous system and cause survival states.

And with neuroplasticity, the more you focus on pain, you strengthen the neural pathways in your brain that produce more pain, the more pain you have.
