When Your Thoughts Make Pain Feel Worse

Описание: If you live with chronic pain, you may find yourself thinking that things will never change. Those thoughts can feel automatic and overwhelming. In this video, we talk about how unhelpful thoughts can keep your nervous system on high alert and increase your experience of pain.

Debbie shares how learning to notice, catch, and gently reframe recurring thoughts became an important part of her own pain journey. This conversation explains how thoughts, emotions, and even the words we use can influence how safe or unsafe the brain feels. You will also hear simple ideas like repetition, gratitude, and small shifts in language that can support nervous system regulation over time.

This video is for women living with ongoing or unresolved chronic pain who feel discouraged, anxious, or stuck in cycles of rumination. Your pain is real. And your thoughts are one piece of the puzzle that may help you feel a greater sense of safety in your body.
