"From Chronic Pain to Empowered Healing with Special Guest Elizabeth Kipp
Elizabeth Kipp is a Stress Management and Historical Trauma Specialist who uses Trauma-Trained and Yoga-Informed Addiction Recovery Coaching, Ancestral Clearing®, Compassionate Inquiry, and yoga to help people with their healing. Elizabeth healed from over 40 years of chronic pain, including anxiety, panic attacks, and addiction. She now works to help others achieve the same healing for themselves that she experienced directly from the work she teaches. She is the best-selling author of “The Way Through Chronic Pain: Tools to Reclaim Your Healing Power.” You are treated to a compendium of modalities that offer vital support in the journey towards healing. The revelation that 70% of bodily toxins can be expelled through breathwork alone underscores the transformative potential of this practice. Meanwhile, meditation emerges as a salient tool for quieting the mind, facilitating brain relaxation and rejuvenation—a crucial facet of the healing process.
The discussion further delves into the intricate energetic frequencies that shape our approach to life, laying the foundation for topics ranging from long-term recovery to addiction rehabilitation. Elizabeth unveils the profound neurological shifts that chronic pain begets within the brain, fundamentally altering its structure and functions. A profound insight emerges—chronic pain, defined as pain experienced for over 15 days within a 30-day span, has the propensity to compel individuals to remain within their comfort zones, despite the agony. This paradoxical dynamic is attributed to the mind's apprehension that the pain might escalate—a paradigm that inadvertently traps individuals in a victim mindset.
In summary, our third episode is a captivating exploration of Elizabeth Kipp's trajectory from pain and adversity to healing and empowerment. Her unique amalgamation of scientific rigor, ancestral wisdom, and holistic practices form the bedrock of her transformative approach, offering invaluable insights and strategies for individuals seeking to transcend their challenges and embark on their own paths to healing.
