Chronic pain & symptoms are complex. So it makes sense to get fixated on the pain itself. However, over a decade of experience has proved that when it comes to chronic pain - it isn't about where it is, or even what it feels like that provides the key to healing. The answers like in our unique Pain Response.
That's why I created this Pain Response Assessment. Because when you understand how your body responds to pain, you can finally uncover the missing puzzle piece that been blocking your path to healing.
This Pain Response Assessment will allow you to get crystal clear on not just your Pain Response type, but how it has been keeping you in the vicious cycle of pain, and the personalized next steps to take to heal pain & allow you to live a life full of passion that is aligned to you.
I know you've likely been on your journey for some time...and it is vulnerable and raw. You might be wondering who the heck I am.
I'm Dr. Andrea Moore, and I use my 12+ years of clinical experience as a Doctor of Physical Therapy, the latest neuroscience on the physiology of pain, my training as a certified Life Coach, Thriving Method facilitator, ACT practitioner, and so much more, including my own personal experience with chronic pain to help you alchemize your chronic pain into the key that unlocks a whole new life, better than you ever dared dream of.
A new life where pain relief isn’t the best that you can hope for.
A life in radical alignment with what you really want- no matter how big, how bold, how threatening to the patriarchy.
What if pain stopped feeling like a boogeyman & you could walk through life without bracing for it to jump out?
What if you trusted yourself to adapt & be resilient to any situation?
I have a secret for you:
A life where you are no longer dreading, resisting & living in fear of your chronic pain. A life where rather than feeling like you're waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under you, you get to take the lead. Once where you wake up, ready to start the day that you designed for yourself, with ease & excitement.
Ready to stop missing out on life, and finally start living full out?
We evolved to experience pain so that our bodies could warn us when we are in imminent danger. For chronic pain sufferers, the most interesting question to ask is: what is your pain protecting you from?
Once you know, you can’t go back. You’ll be too busy living in alignment with your deepest desires, practicing powerful compassion for yourself and others, and lovingly enforcing your boundaries.
If you lived life like that, just imagine how many crushing obligations would melt away...
How many energy drains would no longer be allowed to keep draining you...
How much more pleasure, joy, fun, wildness, and freedom you’d get to experience on the daily.
With this radically different approach to pain you'll receive, you can expect:
● Results you couldn’t get with your doctor or your talk therapist. Pain relief is a benefit of the work we do - but it’s just one of them. Whereas most allopathic approaches are only concerned with pain relief/alleviating the symptoms of a deeper problem, we get to the root cause of why your nervous system is stuck in a perpetual state of fear and do our healing there. That’s why this works when the 30 other doctors you saw already
didn’t. This is why this works without more medication, invasive surgeries, or lifestyle restrictions.
● Exploring your chronic pain will expand your life. When pain is shrinking your life, your body really wants to tell you something. And when you listen, it can stop shouting! When you understand that pain is just a loving, protective message from your body, you can worry about it a lot less. Just think: if the pain wasn’t such a constant source of anxiety and despair, imagine how much more energy you’d have to live a big, bold, expansive life!
● With the Whole-Self Integration, you step into personal power. When you have a clear line of communication with your body, your needs, wants, and boundaries become a lot easier to identify and stand up for. Then, you’re much more likely to get your needs met, achieve what you want, and protect your boundaries. You get to keep more of your energy rather than have it leak out all over the place. You have more capacity to accept others as they are without assuming danger where there is none. Suddenly, you have amazing de-escalation skills. You are not easily triggered or provoked. You have a high tolerance for nuance and complexity and don’t interpret others’ behavior to mean negative things about you. You are amazed to notice how many fewer conflicts there are in your life.
● Increased tolerance for paradox and less “black & white”/“all or nothing” thinking. There are parts of us that want different things. You might want a wildly successful business with tons of followers and clients. But, the traumatized child in you might be terrified of being noticed. When our parts are working against each other, self-sabotage is the result. When we give each of our parts a voice, we are much better able to heal old wounds and bring all of our parts into alignment with our deepest desires and biggest goals. Two things being true at the same time doesn’t hold the same cognitive dissonance and physical discomfort that it used to. We are much more capable of going with the flow and handling life as it comes at us without having to make everything fit into a neat little “either/or” box.
● Internalized patriarchy detox. This work isn’t about readying your body to return to a “patriarchy-perfect” life of overworking and overriding your needs to achieve a sense of safety and validation from toxic societal norms. No. With this healing, you won’t be able to stay in situations that demand that you violate your boundaries and hurt yourself just to get by- because your body knows you deserve better. You won’t be able to go go go without resting, because your body knows you deserve better. Folks who drain your energy and violate your boundaries won’t continue to enjoy the pleasure of your company because your body knows you deserve better. And when you are connected to your body, you will know when you deserve better too.
