The Mind-Body Couple
3 Ways You Accidentally Teach Your Brain Danger
Tanner & Anne unpack 3 subtle habits that can keep your nervous system stuck in danger mode, even when you are doing everything you can to heal neuroplastic pain & symptoms. We share how to spot these patterns in real time and how we retrain the brain with awareness, helpful redirection, and gentle exposure back into life. • The brain’s constant “safe or danger” scan and why symptoms increase scanning • Catching obsessive checking, testing, and reassurance seeking • Using awareness and helpful distraction to teach safety • The certainty trap and how it fuels overanalyzing and control • Why you do not need 100% belief to make progress • How avoiding life teaches the brain that life is unsafe • Pacing exposure, expecting bumps, and building safety Tanner Murtagh and Anne Hampson are therapists who treat neuroplastic pain and mind-body symptoms. They are also married! In his 20s, Tanner overcame chronic pain and a fibromyalgia diagnosis by learning his symptoms were neuroplastic, not structural. Post-healing, Tanner and Anne have dedicated their lives to developing effective treatment and education for neuroplastic pain and symptoms. Listen and learn how to assess your own chronic pain and symptoms, gain tools to retrain the brain and nervous system, and make changes in your life and health!
