In episode 62, I’m going to talk about why your relationship with illness can actually be hindering your recovery.
This is a concept that is part of my new program, MAP for Self-Healing. I call it Changing Your Relationship to Illness, and although the stress of chronic symptoms and health issues will be the subject of this podcast episode, the same principle applies to any difficulty you face.
In this episode I will talk about my insights from working with clients as well as the work of others, including Byron Katie and Anita Moorjani.
We’ll discuss how your stance toward illness –either fighting it, fleeing in fear, or withdrawing and freezing– may be triggering the stress response and how advanced neural retraining may be helpful.
In this episode I’ll discuss:
- The stress response (fight/flight/freeze) and how negative thoughts prevent recovery by inhibiting the restorative functions of the body.
- Why the person with chronic illness can have hundreds of stress responses each day.
- How most people’s response to adversity and illness is fear and resistance.
- Why fearful and fighting thoughts lead to desperation, frustration, helplessness and powerlessness.

- The connections between early life trauma, the formation of the personality, and the impact on lifetime risk of chronic illness.

Join me for episode 49 where we talk with my client and fellow Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), Melissa Manning, who was interested in the MAP Method to address hypothyroidism, back pain, digestive function, and sleep issues.
Hear about the benefits she experienced from 7 sessions including mental, emotional and physical shifts and the improvement of her thyroid function.
In this episode we discuss:
- How Melissa had tried “all the things” for her thyroid health (Hashimoto’s thyroiditis) including diet changes and a functional medicine approach.
- How subconscious stressors can impact our health.
- Although she didn’t have significant adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), lifetime traumas can have an impact.
- The emotional shifts during a session vs. the shifts that unfold in the weeks afterward.
- How our work in sessions reduced negative emotional responses and behaviors.
- The physical benefits she noted: reduction in lower back pain, improved sleep and digestion, less hair shedding, improved thyroid numbers.
- Dr. Balcavage’s work with cellular hypothyroidism and the impact of the cell danger response.
- The emotional benefits--handling relationships and stress better.
- The behavioral shifts--ease in self-expression and openness.
- Why she describes the MAP Method as not hard, not painful, but passive and soothing.
- Why she believes anyone could benefit from MAP sessions and why she has referred others.
To learn more about the work of Dr. Eric Balcavage in cellular hypothyroidism and the Cell Danger Response you can listen to our conversation about MAP for Emotional Fitness in episode 88 of the Thyroid Answers podcast.
