Coaching to Resolve Chronic Pain/Symptoms
I provide a personalized approach for those with chronic symptoms that have not been sufficiently relieved by traditional therapies alone and for those have been medically cleared yet are still suffering by addressing the neuroplastic aspect of these symptoms.
What is neuroplastic pain? Pain is always predictive, learned, and protective. Sometimes the brain, with all of its super-processing power, makes a mistake and reads innocuous input as dangerous and therefore sends discomfort as a warning.
In the case of true injury, the brain gets in the habit of protecting the area and continues to send pain signals despite the injury having healed.
In addition, often our brain does not differentiate emotional pain from physical pain (like stress induced headaches or hives, for example).
All of the above fall under the umbrella of neuroplastic symptoms. The pain is real — the physical danger is not. Each symptom may have a different story, but they all originate in the brain. PRT and EAET help us correct the miscalculations and rewire the brain out of those pain/symptom patterns.
MY COACHING METHOD
-

Evaluate
I will listen carefully and assess your health and symptom history to see whether we can rule-in neuroplastic conditions.
-

Educate
We will discuss the following questions:
What is pain? What are the causes of pain and other symptoms? What is neuroplastic pain? And, of course, how do I get real relief?
-

Treat
The last step? I will walk you through the proven techniques to retrain your brain so it can process sensations properly.
Brigid Wildwood is a psych RN certified in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) through the Pain Psychology Center with Alan Gordon. I have also completed Howard Schubiner’s course, Freedom from Chronic Pain for Healthcare Providers, which teaches how to decipher between structurally-caused and neuroplastic symptoms and how to treat neuroplastic symptoms with PRT and Emotional Acceptance and Expression Therapy (EAET).
I have had my own journey with chronic symptoms, navigating diagnoses of SIBO, Chronic Lyme, Mold Toxicity, Fatigue, Anxiety, and Depression. Back when I was in a state of constant pain and struggle, I started losing hope but ultimately I didn’t want to resign myself to a life of managing symptoms. I spent thousands of dollars and saw every kind of practitioner in search of relief. Only once I learned about this work and understood that my symptoms were neuroplastic, that I was safe in my body, and that my brain was stuck in a pattern that I could change did I begin to find hope and real relief.
I want to offer you what I needed when I was in the thick of it: hope and guidance through a proven process to retrain your brain out of constant pain and discomfort — learn to let it all move through like water. I’ve found my freedom, and I would love to help you find yours.
