  • In episode 62, I’m going to talk about why your relationship with illness can actually be hindering your recovery.

    This is a concept that is part of my new program, MAP for Self-Healing. I call it Changing Your Relationship to Illness, and although the stress of chronic symptoms and health issues will be the subject of this podcast episode, the same principle applies to any difficulty you face.

    In this episode I will talk about my insights from working with clients as well as the work of others, including Byron Katie and Anita Moorjani.

    We’ll discuss how your stance toward illness –either fighting it, fleeing in fear, or withdrawing and freezing– may be triggering the stress response and how advanced neural retraining may be helpful.

    In this episode I’ll discuss:
    - The stress response (fight/flight/freeze) and how negative thoughts prevent recovery by inhibiting the restorative functions of the body.
    - Why the person with chronic illness can have hundreds of stress responses each day.
    - How most people’s response to adversity and illness is fear and resistance.
    - Why fearful and fighting thoughts lead to desperation, frustration, helplessness and powerlessness.
    - A few guiding lights: Anita Moorjani, Gerald Jampolsky, MD.
    - Frank Bruni’s book, The Beauty of Dusk and what it has to teach us about the power of a positive mindset.
    - The work of Byron Katie and her exercises for turning thoughts around.
    - How MAP sessions can be a powerful way to change patterns of emotional, mental and behavioral responses.
    - Why working with the mind is complementary to traditional medicine, functional, and alternative approaches.

    I will talk about my own understanding of habitual emotional, mental and behavioral responses, which is essentially what personality traits are, as well as the work of others who have published on this topic, including Dr. Gabor Maté, Lydia Temoshok, PhD, Lawrence LeShan, Dr. John Sarno, and Garry Flint, PhD.

    In this episode I’ll discuss:

    We’ll hear about Scott who had a complex relationship issue with his sister-in-law, Shelly who struggled with poor treatment from her mother-in-law, Hallie who had friction with her administrator at work, and Kate who was caring for an elderly parent who was verbally abusive.

    In this episode we discuss:

    - How Kristen and I spent a session working on her relationship with her brother and the amazing results she reported in episode 35.

    - The theme of interpersonal relationships and how they contribute to symptoms and chronic health conditions as evidenced by Helen’s story (episode 40), Kathy’s story (episode 42), Derrick’s story (episode 44) and Tena’s story (episode 48).

    - Why stress from unresolved relationship conflict impacts our health.

    - How we use advanced neural retraining techniques to work with relationship issues.

    - How tangential issues can complicate relationship issues, as they did for Scott.

    - How previous experiences exacerbate current relationship issues, as they did for Shelly.

    - How fears and environmental triggers amplified the negative feelings in Hallie’s case.

    - How even long-term seemingly intractable issues can be resolved as was the case with Kate.

    Don’t miss episode 35 where my client Kristen Cornett originally described her experiences with the MAP Method for relationship stress around her brother.
