If you’ve been living with chronic pain, you know how debilitating it can be. The constant discomfort and limitations on your daily life can lead to frustration, depression, and a sense of hopelessness. You may feel like you’ve tried every treatment and solution, but nothing provides lasting relief.

In this episode of The Fit Mess podcast, Jeremy shares how he dealt with chronic tailbone pain for years. Despite seeing doctors, nothing helped until he saw a specialist. She helped him realize the pain was manifesting from emotional stress and trauma stored in his body.

Jeremy and Zach then discuss strategies to address chronic pain through a mind-body approach, like meditation, breathwork, yoga, and self-care rituals. They emphasize how letting go of tension and negative thoughts can calm your nervous system and reduce discomfort.

Topics Discussed:

Examining negative thought patterns that feed pain
Releasing stored stress and trauma through breathwork, meditation, chanting
Letting go of the need for control over your body
Listening better to your body’s signals
Soothing the parasympathetic nervous system
Adopting holistic self-care rituals like yoga and meditation
Practicing radical self-acceptance
Tapping into your body’s power to heal
Working with a specialist like a yoga therapist
Being patient with progress over chasing perfection
