Post #15: The Mind Body Healing Pyramid: an infographic to guide your recovery process
Imagine the keys to your recovery as pieces of a pyramid. Each piece of the pyramid is essential to recover, and each third builds on the piece below. The base of the pyramid lies in building empowerment and nourishing your mind, body, and spirit. The middle third of the pyramid encompasses emotional processing. The pyramid’s top third is your brain retraining (Pain & Symptom Reprocessing) techniques. The common thread is understanding the neuroscience of neuroplasticity. I apply the Mind Body Healing Pyramid to my own recovery story, as I healed from a decade of chronic pain, plus difficulty swallowing, heart palpitations, and weight loss.
