What do you do when life or your body keeps throwing setbacks your way?

When pain, injury, or frustration make it feel like you’re right back at square one?

In this heartfelt and empowering conversation, I and Lorna tackle a listener’s question about dealing with chronic back pain and the feeling of discouragement that comes when progress keeps getting interrupted.

We explore what to do when your circumstances feel completely out of your control, and how to shift from frustration and hopelessness to curiosity, choice, and empowerment - one small mindset change at a time.

You’ll Learn:

How to stop spiraling into discouragement when things don’t go your way
The crucial difference between your circumstance and your response
How your thoughts directly shape your emotions, and your healing
Practical mindset tools for regaining a sense of control, even when pain persists
The power of asking: “What about this can I control?”
How hypnotherapy can help you reframe and even reduce the perception of pain

Key Quotes:

“You can’t always control your circumstances, but you can always control how you react.”
“Your subconscious mind is always listening. What thoughts are you planting?”
“You only have to get up one more time than you fall down.”
“The goal isn’t to get rid of pain, it’s to learn how to live and move with it.”
