Ever been stuck in that holiday traffic, or argued over the dinner table during a family feast, and felt a twinge of physical pain surging through your body? I have personally been through the grind and am here to discuss the relation between these stressful situations and a condition known as tension myocytus syndrome (TMS). In this talk, I reflect on my past experiences of holiday stress and how it impacted my wellbeing, while sharing valuable tips on managing TMS.
The much-awaited holiday season is just around the corner and I will be your guide on handling it better. I delve into the benefits of practicing mindfulness, exercising regularly and the power of embracing our imperfections. Drawing clear boundaries and saying no when needed can be a game-changer. As we approach Thanksgiving, I want to thank each one of you for tuning in and wish you a holiday season that is active, stress-free and most importantly, pain-free. So, buckle up and let's make this holiday season the best one yet!

Ever felt like you were going mad because of chronic pain? You're not alone. Join me, Dana Jones, as I reveal the untold story of my journey with chronic foot pain. With my quest to 'fix' my pain, I ended up spending thousands on treatments and supplements. But in this pursuit, I discovered the symptom imperative - a concept rooted in our instinctual need to solve problems, and which plays a significant role in chronic pain management. Join me as I unravel this concept and share how introspection helped me find the solution within.
Growing up, I learned that pain was the ticket to my mother's attention. This led me to develop a pattern of suffering in silence and misunderstanding love. As I share these experiences and their impacts on my relationships and pain management, I want to remind you that it's okay to unlearn and relearn. Moreover, simple steps like maintaining a calendar or journaling can be therapeutic outlets that help manage pain. Together, let's navigate the emotional undercurrents driving chronic pain and walk towards recovery. You're not alone in this journey, let's learn, empathize and grow together.
