I used to think the same way, until three rib injuries forced me to spend entire nights with the sensation.What I found challenges the assumption that pain is a constant, unending stream. It actually moves in micro-undulations, and there's a specific somatic practice that lets you feel that.This episode walks through pendulation, a somatic experiencing technique I practice with my coach, Whitney. It's a tool for staying with sensation instead of running from it.I'm drawn to this method over natural pain remedies, CBD, or other supports I could reach for. The interest isn't in eliminating sensation. It's in learning what's actually happening inside my body.You’ll learn:[00:00] Introduction[00:07] What to do when you'd normally reach for a pill[00:22] Why I avoided chronic pain until this past year[00:47] The somatic experiencing practice called pendulation[01:24] Why pain is not a constant stream of torture[02:08] What changes when you stop resisting physical sensation[02:31] Step-by-step: how to pendulate through physical pain[03:26] Why a born skeptic was surprised this worked[03:43] Why I skip CBD, DMSO, and other natural options 👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?
