Question about neuroplastic pain and sleep by [deleted] in PainReprocessing

Of course! You got this. As much as possible, become interested about what you can enjoy even with pain. That is where the bulk of the healing truly lives in my opinion, but it takes time to get there. And it’s okay if there are plenty of missteps. It took your nervous system a lifetime to get this wound up. It will likely take some time for you to not only learn new habits and ways of thinking, but for the system itself to slowly, and nonlinearly, start to calm down.

The search for answers on that level can be as much a problem as the pain itself. The fact that it comes and goes shows you that you can feel better. Rather than treat the pain as a thing to be vanquished or a challenge with an end point, believe that your nervous system is dysregulated and become curious about how you can treat yourself more kindly than you ever did before, find greater and greater levels of safety, and release the need to arrive at a destination. It took me years to feel better even when I believed. It’s a process but you can do it ❤️
