I'm new to this concept and have dealt with chronic pain for over 15 years. I wasnt expecting much but have been fascinated! So eager to learn more.

This is an amazing, helpful podcast. The way you focus in on, give simple, yet detailed, relatable examples, tools, is key! I am able to slow my busy, overthinking brain & truly listen without the anxiety I normally feeling when I try to still myself!
