In this episode of the Couch Quitters Club Podcast, I share a recent experience with injury that triggered fear, doubt, and worry — and how I worked through those reactions using what I know about pain science and recovery.
I talk about how our beliefs about injury and healing can influence everything from how much pain we feel to how quickly we recover. Research continues to show that stress, fear, and negative expectations can slow healing, while trust in the body and a belief in the possibility of recovery can help support the process.
I also share how breathwork, touch, and gentle movement helped me regulate my nervous system, improve sleep, and regain confidence — even before I saw big physical changes.
If you’re dealing with pain, or trying to support someone who is, this episode offers a practical look at why believing in your ability to heal isn’t just encouraging — it’s essential.
