You're Not Broken: Why Chronic Pain Starts in the Mind
with Michael Hodge
Tyzen sits with Michael Hodge to explore how much chronic pain and pelvic dysfunction is generated by the nervous system rather than structural damage. They walk through Michael's root cause way: relax, reveal, release, plus somatic tracking and outcome independence.
Chapters
It's not that your body hates you. The subconscious mind does what it has to do to send you a message if you're not listening to what's really happening beneath the surface.
Show Notes
- Michael’s own five-year crucible with pelvic floor dysfunction and the stigma men carry around it.
- Why so many chronic symptoms have no disease pathology and are nervous-system generated.
- The root cause way unpacked: relax the nervous system, reveal what’s beneath, release by no longer holding on.
- A live somatic tracking demonstration with Tyzen, plus outcome independence and the symptom imperative.
Key Takeaways
- Pain often signals an unfelt emotion, not damage. The work is to feel the message rather than mask the symptom.
- Practice relax, reveal, release. Regulate the nervous system first, then be with the sensation without resistance, then let go.
- Do somatic tracking with outcome independence. You are not trying to fix anything, you are coming into non-resistant contact with what is present.
