The symptoms came back, and suddenly it feels like all your progress disappeared with them.

I know that thought. “I’m back at the beginning.” “Nothing worked.” “What if something is really wrong?”

Pause before turning the flare into a conclusion.

Your nervous system has already practiced new responses, safer movement, and moments of trust. One difficult day does not erase all of that.

Swipe through this carousel with me for a reminder of what progress can look like when symptoms return.

If a flare keeps pulling you back into fear, schedule a free Discovery Call with me. The link is in the comments below.

WEEKEND MESSAGE OF CALM & SAFETY
This is an important practice to use daily.. and it will soon become automatic🙏
You can create a consisitent calm nervous system state and symptoms will diminish day by day...🧘

Pendulation is a gentle practice where we move our attention back and forth between something that feels uncomfortable and something that feels safe, comfortable, or neutral.
When we live with chronic pain or symptoms, our attention can become very focused on what is wrong in the body. Pendulation gives the nervous system an opportunity to experience something different.
It teaches your brain and body:
“I can notice discomfort, and I can also notice safety.”
A Simple Practice
Step 1 — Find something comfortable.
Bring your attention to something that feels pleasant or neutral.
It could be your breath, your feet touching the floor, the feeling of your hands, a peaceful memory, or simply a part of your body that feels okay.
Stay there for a few moments.
Notice:
“There is something in me that feels okay right now.”
Step 2 — Gently notice the discomfort.
Now, very briefly, bring your attention toward the pain or symptom.
You don't need to analyze it, fix it, or figure out why it is there.
Simply notice:
“I can feel this sensation.”
Stay with it only as much as feels manageable.
Step 3 — Come back to comfort.
Now gently move your attention back to the comfortable or neutral place.
Feel your feet.
Notice your breath.
Feel your hands.
Look around the room.
Let your nervous system experience:
“I can feel discomfort, and I can also feel okay.”

New Video is now up! I share three practical somatic tools that can help shift attention away from fear and symptoms and toward safety, movement, and solutions.

These tools show how small repeated experiences can help interrupt the pain-fear cycle and build new nervous system habits.

Your symptoms are loud. That doesn’t mean they get to be in charge of your whole day.

When something flares, the brain can quickly move into checking, analyzing, bracing, and waiting for safety.

I want to remind you that you can notice the symptom without giving it every ounce of your attention.

Notice your breath. Feel your feet. Look around the room. Let something meaningful back into the frame.

Swipe through this carousel with me and practice creating a little more space around the symptom.

Pain: A Message, Not a Punishment

21/08/2026

THEME OF THE MONTH.. SYMPTOMS.... and the Salient Network in your nervous system

The salience network is a brain system—including the anterior insula and anterior cingulate cortex—that decides which internal and external signals deserve your attention.
In chronic pain, this network gets stuck on high alert, treating normal bodily signals as major threats and keeping the pain loop active long after physical tissues heal.

Healing and Calming the Salient Network
Slowing down threat assessment: Practices like mindfulness reduce baseline activity in these threat-detection regions, teaching the brain to notice sensations without panicking.
Breaking the analysis loop: Acknowledging pain without emotionally fighting or over-analyzing it helps take the network off high alert.
Graded exposure: Safely moving and facing feared activities teaches the nervous system that the body is safe again, lowering the brain's predictive alarm state.

📢 LATEST TMS ROUNDTABLE IS NOW LIVE 👉 In this video, Jessica English and Ashley Long share how faith, nervous system regulation, and neuroplastic healing became intertwined in their recoveries from years of chronic pain and unexplained symptoms.

We explore renewing the mind, processing difficult emotions, developing self-compassion, reducing fear, rebuilding identity, and how a relationship with God can become part of healing from chronic pain and other neuroplastic symptoms.
