Healing Hub Podcast

On today’s Healing Hub Podcase, we're sharing the audio from a live interview on Monday, November 4th – CRPS Awareness Day - with Cindy Perlin – CEO of the Alternative Pain Treatment Directory. This was an open forum interview and Q&A where we started off talking about my personal journey with CRPS, our treatment program at Holistic Centered Treatment, and transitioned into questions and answers.Dr. Traci Patterson traveled the world and spent in excess of $250,000 searching for help for her Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Many of the treatments made her worse. Now 11 years in remission, Dr. Patterson, a trained MD, is President of Holistic Centered Treatment, an intensive outpatient clinic for people with CRPS and other types of difficult-to-treat chronic pain. Dr. Patterson is telling her story and talk about her treatment program that is helping many CRPS and chronic pain patients regain their lives.This was an open forum interview and Q&A with Dr. Traci Patterson - CRPS Survivor and President, Holistic Centered Treatment and Cindy Perlin, LCSW, founder and CEO of the Alternative Pain Treatment Directory.#FacebookLive #DrTraciPattersonCRPSexpert #HolisticCenteredTreatment #crpsremission #crpstreatment #CRPSsurvivor #crps #crpswarrior #makingadifference #changinglives #premiereprogramforcrps #alternativepaintreatmentdirectory #cindyperlin #KnowYourOptions #inspiringcrpsstories #crpsawareness #CRPSAdvocate #raredisease #intractablepain #chronicpain #RSD #spoonies #fibromyalgia #amps #PediatricPain #CRPSawarnessday #chronicpain #pediatricpain #CSS #AMPS #PhantomLimbPain #HCTFoundation

What is the connection between CRPS and Cortisol, and a lot of the odd ball symptoms we endure with CRPS?Now, anyone living with CRPS or chronic pain knows the pain creates stress… which leads to anxiety, for some – depression, and for most it leads to insomnia too.Stress and pain are interweaved at multiple levels. This impact - in turn - manifests in other ways in the body.One of the big things I talk to CRPS and chronic pain patients about in the office is the connection between the central nervous system (brain and spine) and the autonomic nervous system and how CRPS/chronic pain is propelled by both.The brain is the best super-computer on the planet that is tasked with running our entire body. A specific area of the brain – the limbic system – is tied to CRPS. While your autonomic nervous system is a division of the nervous system that operates internal organs, smooth muscle and glands. Think of it this way – the autonomic nervous system automatically runs everything in our body that we don’t have to think about. It’s that simple.The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously – meaning we don’t have to think about it… and it regulates bodily functions, such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, etc.… Again, the things we don’t think about – that automatically happen in the body… that’s your autonomic nervous system.This system is also the primary mechanism in control of the fight-or-flight response. And ‘fight or flight’ is a term we also hear about or read about CRPS. Lastly - fight or flight in turn drives cortisol.So, hopefully you can start mapping this out and start seeing the connections.#Podcast #HealingHubPodcast #CRPSPodcast #CRPS #CRPSawareness #CRPS1 #CRPS2 #ComplexRegionalPainSyndrome #RSD #ReflexSympatheticDystrophy #CRPSremission #CRPSexpert #CRPStreatmentoptions #CRPStreatment #HolisticCenteredTreatment #HCTbyTraciPatterson #CRPSadvocacy #TreatingTheWholePerson #MakingADifference #ChangingLives #DrTraciPattersonCRPSexpert #HolisticTreatmentForCRPS #CRPSsuccessstory #overcomingCRPS #CRPSmiracles #Hope #Help #Spoonies #AMPS #KnowYourTreatmentOptions #RareDisease #ChronicPain #AMPS #CSS #IntractablePain #HopeForCRPS #ImpactOfCRPS #PediatricPain #NewTreatmentForCRPS #CRPScommunity #InternationalCRPS #HopeForACure #TrustPatients #ImpactOfWordsOnPatients #CRPScoexitingconditions #FightingForAllWarriors #CRPSinChildren #HolisticTreatmentForCRPS #IndividualizedTreatmentForCRPS #CRPSandCortisol

On today’s podcast I’ll be talking about CRPS Awareness month. Throughout the entire month of November every year for the past 20 years, the CRPS community and their families and advocates come together to help raise awareness of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. We know the month of November as - CRPS Awareness month…For me – CRPS is personal. 16 years ago, I was diagnosed with CRPS type 2… I lived with type 2 CRPS for 7 years prior to gaining remission. This November 2022 is my 9-year anniversary of long-term remission. Yes, pain free – with zero flare for 9 years. It is possible.This is why CRPS awareness month is so important to me!I hope today’s podcast offers you information that is helpful.

On today’s podcast I’ll be talking about the grief associated with the diagnosis of CRPS and extending grace to ourselves. Two important areas that so many people are not talking about.Having a CRPS diagnosis or chronic pain diagnosis can lead to a range of emotions, thoughts and feelings. This can include loss or grief for your old life, your old ways of doing things. By gaining acceptance and learning to give yourself grace - you can take an important step forward.Grief is a natural reaction to getting a life changing diagnosis.I hope today’s podcast offers you information that is helpful.

On today's podcast I'll be talking about holidays and how they can be a complex time for those living with CRPS and other forms of chronic pain. I want you to know you're not alone - if the holidays feel difficult.On one hand, society wants us all to be joyful, happy and cheery for the holidays. There are parties to attend, treats to eat, family to see and holly jolly to share. On the other hand, the holiday season can feel less overwhelming for people living with CRPS and other forms of chronic pain. For many, navigating the holidays can be difficult.While family and friends may try to understand what you’re going through, they don’t always know the feelings of fear, isolation and vulnerability that you can experience.If this sounds like you, I hope today’s podcast offers you a few new tools to help cope with the holidays.Holistic Centered Treatment:844-994-0999www.HolisticCenteredTreatment.comInfo@HolisticCenteredTreatment.com#Podcast #HealingHubPodcast #CRPSPodcast #CRPS #CRPSawareness #CRPS1 #CRPS2 #ComplexRegionalPainSyndrome #RSD #ReflexSympatheticDystrophy #CRPSremission #CRPSexpert #CRPStreatmentoptions #CRPStreatment #HolisticCenteredTreatment #HCTbyTraciPatterson #CRPSadvocacy #MentalHealth #Stress #Anxiety #TreatingTheWholePerson #MakingADifference #ChangingLives #DrTraciPattersonCRPSexpert #HolisticTreatmentForCRPS #CRPSsuccessstory #9yearoldssuccessstory #overcomingCRPS #CRPSmiracles #Hope #Help #Spoonies #AMPS #KnowYourTreatmentOptions #CRPSandHolidayStress #HolidayCopingStrategies

This episode of the Healing Hub Podcast is about - advocacy and CRPS. Self-advocacy is necessary with dealing with CRPS.Advocating for ourselves can feel lonely. Sometimes, it can feel like David and Goliath! As someone that lived with CRPS for 7 years I understand how difficult it can be to stand up for yourself in a doctor's office or even to a family member. At times it can simply feel overwhelming - to the point that we just clam up and walk away. Yet, in the long-run this only hinders our progress.Learning to advocate for ourselves can be key to moving forward, receiving the care we need, and reaching our goals.#Podcast #HealingHubPodcast #CRPSPodcast #CRPS #CRPSawareness #CRPS1 #CRPS2 #ComplexRegionalPainSyndrome #RSD #ReflexSympatheticDystrophy #CRPSremission #CRPSexpert #CRPStreatmentoptions #CRPStreatment #HolisticCenteredTreatment #HCTbyTraciPatterson #CRPSadvocacy #TreatingTheWholePerson #MakingADifference #ChangingLives #DrTraciPattersonCRPSexpert #HolisticTreatmentForCRPS #SelfAdvocacy #CRPSadvocate
