A podcast sharing information, support, and healing strategies based on the science-backed MindBody Connection and Healing approach to reversing Migraine pain for sustainable relief. The host, Karen Ash, ACC suffered (past tense) from Chronic Migraine for 34 years before finding the work of Dr. John Sarno, Nicole Sachs, LCSW, Dr. Howard Schubiner, Alan Gordon, LCSW, the Curable App, and others educating on the role stress and emotions have in dysregulating our nervous system, sending unsafe signals of danger to the Brain, which triggers pain as a protective mechanism to remove us from the treat. While this information can be used for any MindBody Chronic Pain condition, I felt it important to create a community for the 1.16 BILLION living with Migraine to come together and speak about the nuances of our unique pain experiences. Join us to gain more pain-free days, one episode at a time! xx

Episode #26
Ep 26. Dr. Michael Dow | How PRT Changed This Clinician's Practice — and Healed His Own Migraines
Jun 30, 20261 hour
Send us Fan Mail Dr. Michael Dow on healing migraines and his work with PRT, EAET, Stress, and Relational Soothing Psychotherapist Dr. Michael Dow shares his recovery from chronic weekly headaches and vestibular migraine symptoms that began around 2014 and worsened during COVID while he managed a high-stress integrated health clinic in the Boulder, Colorado area. He describes how mindfulness training alone didn’t prevent symptoms, and how discovering Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) through the Boulder Back Pain Study shifted his understanding from managing pain to reducing fear and retraining the brain to eliminate it. Dr. Dow discusses the role of cumulative “background stress,” self-compassion, boundaries, and making major life changes, including leaving his long-term job for private practice. He explains “extinction bursts,” emotional work through emotional awareness and expression therapy (EAET), the impact of relationship dynamics and secure attachment functioning, and practical strategies like graded exposure and partner-based relational soothing. 00:00 Meet Dr Michael Dow 03:09 Why This Conversation Now 03:52 First Migraine Experience 05:35 Stress And Symptom Escalation 06:53 Family Modeling And Genetics 10:15 Mindfulness Was Not Enough 13:56 Symptoms As A Message 16:25 Background Stress And Boundaries 21:52 Self Compassion Missing Piece 23:11 Discovering Pain Reprocessing 25:15 Somatic Tracking Click Moment 27:16 Life Changes And Extinction Burst 29:48 Flare Ups Mean Healing 30:59 Onion Layers Of Emotions 31:36 Agency Breaks Fear Cycle 33:50 Turning Down The Fear 34:36 Pain Relief Is Possible 37:36 Redefining Recovery Progress 40:16 Relationships And Nervous System 47:03 Breaking Migraine Anticipation 53:12 Stigma Shame And Masculinity 55:08 Practice Resources And Farewell +++++++ REFERENCES: How to find Dr. Michael Dow ●Website: https://drmichaeldow.com/ ●Michael’s Email: michaelmdow@gmail.com ●Amelie’s Email: amelie@intergativesomatics.net ____ Thanks for listening - I hope you found this helpful.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
