Today I want to talk about what happens when people living with chronic pain develop an automatic and unconscious way of coping with chronic pain that I call the chronic pain trance. For some people this means adopting a hopeless/helpless mindset and mistakenly believing that their life is over. Others try to cope with their situation by embarking on a quest to find the right pill, while still others try to find someone to rescue or fix them.

If you are stuck in your own chronic pain trance, you can learn to avoid these self-destructive coping mechanisms. You have a responsibility to yourself and those who care about you to break through this trance. See my video to learn more.

In my new book Freedom from Suffering: A Journey of Hope I devoted an entire section on how people can learn to wake up from their chronic pain trance and obtain more effective chronic pain management and have true freedom from their suffering.

Today I want to talk about the premise that if you don’t know whether or not you have a problem, it can be extremely difficult—if not impossible—to find a solution. Think about this. Have you ever had a situation where you were very enthusiastic and excited about achieving a desirable goal and then got in your own way?

There are many different ways of talking about that part of ourselves that both protect us and sabotages us—sometimes at the same time. Some people call this our psychological defense system. Others call it denial, while still others call it the inner saboteur. Have you ever heard the expression “the committee in your head?” For others it’s the angle or devil on your shoulder and for still others it’s the Zen Concept of the “monkey mind.” Check out my video to learn more.

In my new book Freedom from Suffering: A Journey of Hope I share more on how people can learn to identify and manage their inner saboteur for more effective chronic pain management and obtain true freedom from their suffering.
