You feel the twinge in your back while you're washing dishes. Before you even finish the plate, your mind is already racing ahead. Am I going to be stuck on the couch all night? How am I going to sleep? What about tomorrow?

That racing ahead is your brain trying to protect you. It has been doing this for a very long time. But when it keeps scanning for what could go wrong, your body stays on guard, and the pain can get louder.

In this free video, I'll show you how to make a little space between the feeling and the worry. It's gentle, it only takes a few minutes, and you can do it standing at the kitchen counter.

What you'll learn

The three types of pain.

Some pain comes from an injury, some comes from the nerves, and some is created by the nervous system through learned pathways. Knowing the difference helps you know what to do.

Why your brain predicts the worst.

You'll see how worry and pain feed each other, and why this is not your fault.

A short guided practice.

I'll walk you through a few minutes of noticing your body, your breath, and what you need right now.

How to widen the container.

This is how I help people let pain take up a little less room in their lives, even on hard days.

Hi, I'm Jodi Silverman.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Reiki Master/Teacher, and I've been helping people heal for over 30 years. I work with people living with chronic pain and illness, using Pain Reprocessing Therapy, nervous system work, and Reiki.

I also know what it's like to live in a body that works harder than it should. My goal is to help you feel a little more at home in yours.

You don't have to have it all figured out to start. A few quiet minutes is enough.
