--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/citherapist/messageThe concept of pacing is so difficult to get down because we get hung up on what we want to do in an ideal world vs what we’re capable of doing. And here’s the thing - the more we do this, the LESS capable we think we are. So there’s a shit ton of of trial and error - trying not to do too much and failing, then finding compassion for yourself AND properly supporting yourself with and during rest. Then trying again next time, slightly differently. This allows us to learn 1) what kind of supports we need 2) how long it takes us to recover from different kinds of activities 3) what’s important enough to us to use our energy on.

In this episode, we explore the controversial field of German New Medicine and its potential impact on chronic illness. German New Medicine is a theory that suggests that all diseases, including chronic illnesses, are caused by unresolved emotional conflicts that affect our body's natural healing mechanisms. Katherine Housh, a German New Medicine practitioner, will explain the principles behind this theory and how it differs from traditional medical approaches.
It is my (Destiny Winters) opinion that GNM and all alternative approaches be used in conjunction with, not instead of, conventional medicine. Use your intuition and be open to dialogue with all types of practitioners, and never let fear guide your decisions. Let your grounded understanding and values guide your actions.

- How pain begins and ends in the brain - supported by science;
- How our early attachments show up in our pain experiences;
- The 6 different types of people, according to the Constructed Awareness (CA) framework;
- What therapists learn in CA in order to better help clients;
- Helping clients find resources;
- Reprocessing memories
In this episode, we dive into the fascinating world of pain and its complex relationship with the brain. Drawing on the latest scientific research, we explore how pain signals begin and end in the brain, and how our early childhood attachments can shape our pain experiences. We also introduce the Constructed Awareness (CA) framework, which identifies six different types of people and sheds light on how our unique cognitive styles can impact our pain perception. Our guest, Tyler Orr LPC, the creator of CA, shares valuable insights on how therapists can use this framework to better support their clients and help them access the resources they need. We also discuss the importance of reprocessing memories and breaking free from the negative thought patterns that can exacerbate pain. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation on the fascinating intersection of neuroscience and psychology.
Tyler runs a free monthly consultation group for therapists who are interested in this work and for those being trained in CA. To sign up, go to https://www.constructedawareness.com/ and look for the "Constructed Awareness Free Consultation.” The next one is May 12, 2022, and you don’t need to be trained in CA to attend, so definitely check that out. You can find all of Tyler’s trainings here as well.
A few extra things to note here: Therapists, if you want to join Tyler’s next Constructed Awareness training, it’s May 6-7 and 20-21 in 2022. Use the code DestinyWinters for $200 off.
And for everyone, Tyler gave some good book recommendations at the end. If you want to read more about the science behind pain, check out Unlearning Your Pain by Dr. Howard Shubner. I also really like Freedom from Pain by Peter Levine.
Tyler also has a 2-day training for purchase on his website called What Are You Noticing Now? Integrating EMDR and Constructed Awareness. That will be on July 22 and 23rd.

Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by those with chronic pain and illness and learn concrete strategies for living with hope and calm.
