Running Man Self Regulation Skills Project

Relaxing into Pain, Painful Beliefs, Actual Pain and Pain as an Opinion

Armando Dominguez PhD Health Psychology, Educator, Martial Artist, Researcher Season 1 Episode 64

Ep 64. Explore effective ways to manage physical, emotional, and mental pain. Learn how beliefs and expectations influence our responses and discover techniques to observe and alleviate pain through mindful practices. 

Painful events in life can manifest as physical, emotional, or mental distress, often accompanied by beliefs and expectations of worsening circumstances. These expectations can trigger self-preservation instincts, leading us to avoid certain places, people, or situations.

The anticipation of pain can induce physical tension, even in the absence of immediate danger. Managing pain involves reframing our response—not as an ego-driven reaction, but rather as mindful observation coupled with deliberate relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing.

By adopting a mindful approach, we can alter our experience of pain and promote emotional resilience. Explore these techniques to enhance your well-being and navigate life's challenges with greater ease. Walk Well.
