Parenting - Creating Your Own Triggers

Back in Control with David Hanscom, MD

Chronic pain is a family issue. Your deepest human interactions happen at home and family members trigger each other. These powerful reactions have severe consequences. Partners and parents often end up acting in ways that they would not tolerate in their children. In this episode, spine surgeon Dr. David Hanscom discusses how each of us has patterns of behavior, embedded in our nervous systems, that are a result of witnessing the actions of our parents. Whether you adopt or reject these patterns, they are still running your life. The behaviors play out the most strongly in new families regardless of their makeup. They originate in the unconscious part of your brain and are not solvable – especially when you are not aware of their magnitude or existence. Dr. Hanscom offers suggestions for family healing that also heal chronic pain. For more information, visit: http://www.backincontrol.com/begin-your-healing-journey-at-home
