During our annual Willow Tree Summit, our chronic pain warriors sit down with me in ‘Conversations from the couch’ to talk about the information shared inside the summit. Our Summits aim to hear from a variety of experts…those who live with pain and those that serve them.

Life with chronic pain often leaves you with a deep sense of grief though the loss of limb or the loss of the life you once had, having to relearn as you navigate the world around you while adapting to the changes you are left to deal with often with little to no guidance. In this episode we’ll delve into the key components of grief as it relates to the chronic pain experience. Join us as we explore the interconnections and commonalities between the two as we offer insights and tools to inspire...

When you get a chronic diagnosis, the positive messaging (and the hope) goes out the window and leaves the warrior feeling unsure of what’s to come. In this episode, I offer a different perspective on your capabilities and how impressive (and complicated) your body and brain truly are.

In this episode I am joined by board certified Wellness Coach Jessica Hill Powell to discuss elimination diets. In this conversation we unpack how an elimination diet helps to reduce inflammation which in turn helps to improve the amount of pain you feel. You will learn about foods that trigger inflammation, how to eliminate them and the importance of reintroducing them slowly.

One of the biggest questions we get inside The Change Pain Academy is when my pain gets worse, how do I know if I should go to the Doctor or if I can work through it at home? It can be really difficult differentiating between pain from an acute injury or pain that comes from the chronic state. In this episode I give a brief explanation of the questions you can ask yourself to help determine if you stay or if you should go…to see the Doctor (thank you to The Clash for these words).

In this episode I sit down with Kyira Wackett, Therapist and Trauma survivor, to discuss Shame and it’s impact on the lived experience of pain and trauma. This conversation comes from our Willow Tree Trauma And Chronic Pain Summit in 2023.

In this episode I sit down with Naturopath and Functional Medicine practitioner Dr Sarah White about working with chronic pain and unresolved trauma through a functional lens.

In this episode I am interviewed by the awe inspiring Peggy MacIntyre, recovered cocaine addict and sexual abuse survivor turned advocate inside her ‘Trauma To Triumph – How to Heal the Shame and Heartache of Incest and Sexual Abuse’ summit. In this session we talked about chronic pain, trauma and how the two collide amplifying the chronic pain experience.

In this episode I interview Dr. Teitelbaum, the worlds leading integrative specialist on Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia and long haul syndrome. We explore current gaps in our medical model, the four treatable areas of focus on chronic pain and much more.

In this episode I speak with Nathan Augeard (Physiotherapist, clinic owner and PhD candidate) about the role Physiotherapy plays in chronic pain care. We explore the power of re-framing fear of movement into something more meaningful, how patient centered care is missing in our current medical model and how physiotherapists (and Nathan’s research) are helping to remedy that… and so much more.

Communicating can be challenging especially when we throw chronic pain and/or unresolved trauma into the mix. In this episode Rachel Hunter and I talk about communicating to your loved ones when you live with chronic pain, how to keep your emotions in check when conversations get a little heated and how trauma impacts both pain and communication.
