288: Why Being Hard on Yourself Could Be Blocking Your Healing (And How to Change It)

Have you ever noticed how hard you can be on yourself… especially when life doesn’t go as planned? In today’s deeply moving episode, Brandy Gillmore helps a courageous volunteer, Anna, unravel the emotional patterns that have been keeping her stuck in chronic pain — and in self-judgment.

Anna, a devoted mother living with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ongoing physical pain, opens up about the invisible weight of self-criticism, guilt, and feeling "not good enough." Through compassionate yet breakthrough mind-body coaching, Brandy guides her to a powerful realization: healing starts with releasing harsh self-judgment and embracing unconditional self-love.

In this transformational episode, you’ll discover:

• How self-criticism and subconscious programming can keep physical pain stuck
• Why linking love and illness can block true healing
• How to use playfulness and loving self-talk to shift your inner dialogue
• A live demonstration of Brandy’s mind-body healing process in action
• Practical tips to rewire your mind for self-acceptance, healing, and joy

If you’ve ever felt trapped in the cycle of pain, guilt, and negative self-talk — or if you’ve struggled to create lasting healing despite positive thinking and affirmations — this episode will uplift your spirit and offer real, actionable wisdom.

You can shift these patterns. You can heal. And as Brandy reminds us, "You have the power to transform your life — starting today."

👉 Listen now and begin your journey toward healing, self-love, and vibrant health.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We understand that some may believe mind-body healing is impossible. Therefore, if you would like to see images of individuals using their minds to relieve pain, you can check out this medical journal. It includes images from some of Brandy's case studies. If you want to learn how to use your mind to heal yourself, you can check out the training on Brandy's website. Each week, Brandy publishes a volunteer episode where she coaches a volunteer to heal themselves using their own mind. In addition, Brandy shares a quick IQ episode (Insights and Questions) where she answers listener questions or delves deeper into insights on working with the mind for healing.

Please remember that genuine change and follow through are key for self-healing results. If you struggle with negative thoughts or have a chronic health issue or chronic pain, please do not avoid seeing your doctor. Instead, your goal with self-healing should be to continue to see your doctor as recommended and blow their mind with what you are capable of with your mind and with the power of mind-body healing.
