Migraine Oasis
A podcast sharing information, support, and healing strategies based on the science-backed MindBody Connection and Healing approach to reversing Migraine pain for sustainable relief.
The host, Karen Ash, ACC suffered (past tense) from Chronic Migraine for 34 years before finding the work of Dr. John Sarno, Nicole Sachs, LCSW, Dr. Howard Schubiner, Alan Gordon, LCSW, the Curable App, and others educating on the role stress and emotions have in dysregulating our nervous system, sending unsafe signals of danger to the Brain, which triggers pain as a protective mechanism to remove us from the treat.
While this information can be used for any MindBody Chronic Pain condition, I felt it important to create a community for the 1 BILLION living with Migraine to come together and speak about the nuances of our unique pain experiences. Join us to gain more pain-free days, one episode at a time! xx

Ep 5. MindBody Healing - Many Names For the Same Concept (TMS, MBS, PPD, PDP, etc.)
Join me as I discuss the complexities of the various MindBody healing terminologies with Sally Tether. Stemming from pioneers like Dr. John Sarno, we discuss others who are now carrying on his work and putting their own terminology in place.
The discussion includes different terms like TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome), MindBody syndrome-disorder-condition, Perceived Danger Pain (PDP), and Psychophysiological Disorder (PPD). Additionally, we touch briefly on other topics like the fear-pain cycle, nervous system dysregulation, brain retraining, and the impact of language on the perception of illness. This conversation aims to clarify for newcomers that although many terms are being used, they all are similar concepts, and to highlight the importance of finding what resonates with you.
