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 10. Self-Compassion: A Powerful Healing Tool for Chronic Pain Relief and Overall Wellbeing
Join my insightful conversation with Sally Tether (a friend, and former chronic migraine sufferer) as we delve into the importance of self-compassion in the chronic pain journey and everyday life. We explore how adopting a kinder, gentler, and understanding approach toward oneself can significantly impact chronic pain and overall well-being.
Most of us already have the skills needed to cultivate a strong sense of self-compassion. We do a great job being kind and compassionate to others - typically to a fault, disregarding our own needs. Self-compassion flips those qualities INWARD, to give ourselves the same warmth, care, and kindness.
Drawing on the work of experts like Kristen Neff and incorporating personal experiences, we discuss practical tips to cultivate self-compassion and its broader benefits in life. Whether you're new to the concept or looking to deepen your practice, this episode is packed with valuable insights, practical advice, and tools.
