I have been very interested in the link between physical and psychological health and how these go hand in hand.   When we are suffering from mental health issues, or are in some sort if emotional turmoil or feeling stressed; the body is nearly always effected.   Similarly if the body has been injured or if we do not look after it in a healthy way; the mind or mental health is similarly effected.     

There has been lots of research into how past memories, traumas, emotional turmoil can factor into the development of long term physical pains or conditions.   I have seen first hand, when using EMDR, how bodily pains have changed, reduced or disappeared, following positive work with historic emotional pains and upsets.    This makes sense as we know that painful memories, situations are stored not only in the mind but also in our bodies and senses.  Often reducing the emotional upset results in the physical pain being reduced also; but occasionally the physical pain becomes stuck and on alarm mode.    This is where OldPain2Go® technique can help to reduce or remove this old pain.   

What is Pain?

Pain has a purpose when it relates to a new injury or problem.  It gives us the urgency to deal with an issue, relevant to how much of a problem it is.  However, once we have had a proper medical diagnosis and the tissues are healed, or will never heal, and no more can be done except pain relief, that’s when OldPain2Go® can help.

Usually pain alerts us to a problem and gives us the appropriate “pain message” to act appropriately to alleviate the pain.   After an appropriate healing time the pain goes.  Our bodies are miracles of nature and in most cases they heal themselves with no conscious input from us.

In some cases old pain remains, when it is no longer required.   This is when OldPain2Go® can come into play to remove or reduce the pain in a totally unique way.  Julie will guide the unconscious and conscious aspects of yourself to talk to one another to take away those old, un-needed pain messages.  OldPain2Go® uses a Brain Bargaining technique.   It can be a stand alone technique or incorporated into a therapy session.

When we continue in pain, long after the initial warning is unnecessary, then all we need to do is change that old, out of date program.  This can only be done at the level of the unconscious and Julie will guide you each step of the way.

Questions and Answers

Please note: This does not constitute medical advice. You must have been diagnosed by a medical professional who has prescribed or advised pain relief.

Does it work on any pain?  It works regardless of the original cause, providing there isn’t a need for it to be retained.  If there is still a reason to keep the pain then the unconscious will not release it.

Do I need to keep the pain until that part is completely healed? No, pain is a message that once it has alerted you to the problem, and you have done all you can, it is no longer need. Think of a fire alarm, it gets switched off and reset to be alert when the fire is out, even if it has caused damage!

I am on really strong painkillers, can OldPain2Go^® remove this pain? Yes, it may. Just think about this for a moment, if you are prescribed strong pain tablets or injections that is the medical profession saying that the pain is not necessary!

 I have a lifelong condition will the pain go. Yes the old pain message has done its job and alerted you and the medical profession to the problem. That old message can be deleted and allow new pain to arrive as is needed to alert you to a new problem or a worsening condition.

I have a deteriorating condition, how will it work on that? On deteriorating conditions, you are likely to have regular assessments to review the problem area. OldPain2Go^® would act like pressing the fire alarm reset button. We are aware of the damage caused by the old fire and can reset the alarm to stop ringing and it will automatically ring again to tell us of a new danger.

Why does my pain get worse and require ever stronger pain relief? When pain is first triggered it forms a neural pathway in your brain that fades quickly if the pain is short term. However, if the pain continues it builds up an increasingly stronger neural connection almost like a neural motorway. This is the same way we learn to run things automatically. Unfortunately, we are learning the wrong thing. Pain does not have an end date stamped on it, and it “forgets” to re-evaluate or turn off.

I have put up with this pain for many years, how could it go in just minutes? The longer you have had the pain the more likely it is that it no longer serves a purpose – you are aware of it – nothing can be done (medically) and your doctor prescribes pain relief.  These are all signs that the old pain message is redundant. All that is required is for you to convince your unconscious of it.

How many sessions do I need? This is dependant on your personal situations – Julie will be guided by your responses to sessions.  I will closely monitor your feedback between sessions. 

I have Fibromyalgia, M.E., C.F.S., will it work for me? Fibromyalgia is a condition where the message is usually still required even though, or perhaps because, you are trying to ignore the pain or work through it.   Please read here an explanation about Fibromyalgia, C.F.S. and M.E. and what will be helpful.

What if there is still a reason to keep the pain? Quite simply the unconscious will not switch it off, because it would be unsafe to do so. The same reason you don’t take the battery out of a smoke alarm.     

What reasons or circumstances will stop it from working? Situations where there are more reason to keep the pain than to lose it.  Whilst you will gain a better quality of life from being pain-free there are things you may also lose, such as; benefits, sympathy, help, support, and reasons to not go to places – or do things you don’t want.  Whilst consciously you may deny that any of these influence you, it is your unconscious that decides on the balance of pain or pain-free.  The simple test is to answer this question out loud, “Do you want to be free of this pain?” If your answer is a solid and loud yes, then it will most likely work for you.  If you hesitated or thought of reasons or excuses then it might not work.  However your practitioner may be able to help you with that, please bring this to their notice. It is most important you are honest and open with them.

Surely if it numbs an area that would be dangerous if a new injury occurred? It doesnt numb the pain – it turns off the old pain message allowing new pain to come as and when necessary.

Why would it only reduce the pain instead of stopping it? This is usually a restriction placed there by your thoughts and beliefs.  If you think being pain-free would lead to causing more damage or that you would forget you had a problem – that would cause it to only reduce the pain instead of turning it off.  Sometimes people see X Rays or scan results, so convince themselves they could not possibly be pain-free with that amount of damage.  

Could I bring the old pain back? We will instruct you on use of language and internal thoughts.  When we keep looking for the pain we have lost it could convince your unconscious to give you pain again.  Also, our exaggerations can intensify pain or make it seem too much of a problem to remove.  Take the phrase “this pain is killing me” and you can see that is never true but will affect how you feel.
