Areas of Support
Chronic Pain
This work is supportive and complementary. It sits alongside your medical care and does not replace diagnosis or treatment from your physician or care team.
What people experience
- Pain that persists well beyond expected healing time, or without a clear structural cause.
- A nervous system that amplifies pain signals under stress, poor sleep, or emotional strain.
- Fatigue, frustration, and a sense of having tried everything.
- Bracing, guarding, or fear of movement that can make pain feel bigger.
- A life that has quietly shrunk around the pain.
What is happening beneath the surface
- The nervous system can become highly sensitized, so it keeps signaling pain even after tissue has healed, as a learned protective response.
- Fear of pain often leads to guarding and avoidance, which can increase tension and, over time, intensify the very sensations being avoided.
- Stress and unresolved emotion can lower the threshold at which the body registers pain.
- Subconscious associations, a memory of an injury, a stressful period, a specific movement, can keep the alarm active even when the body is capable of more.
How Reset Me Journey approaches it
- You bring your experience of pain and your medical history. Dr. Verena Young determines which coaching and hypnotherapy approaches may support your nervous system, always alongside your medical or mental health care, never in place of it.
- Work targets the nervous system's threat response and the subconscious associations that keep pain signals amplified.
- Sessions are paced to build a sense of safety in the body rather than pushing past capacity.
- The intention is to support how pain is experienced and responded to, working in partnership with your physicians, physical therapists, or other providers.
