**You’ve tried so many things. You get some relief. So why does the pain keep coming back?**

Acupuncture, chiropractic care, massage, Reiki—you may leave an appointment feeling better, only to find yourself back in the same cycle days or even hours later. It’s exhausting, especially when you don’t understand why relief isn’t lasting.

**Understanding persistent pain is a central part of this retreat.** We’ll explore how pain works, why the nervous system can continue sounding an alarm even after tissues have healed, and how fear, attention, stress, and past experiences can influence that alarm. Your pain is real. Learning about these processes can open up new ways to respond.

We’ll pair that understanding with self-Reiki and gentle meditative practices to explore a greater sense of safety in your body. The invitation is to gradually “widen the container”—developing more room for sensations and emotions without immediately needing to brace, fight, or escape them.

The goal isn’t to force yourself to relax or make symptoms disappear. It’s to build understanding, practice responding with less fear, and discover moments of comfort and choice—even when symptoms are present.

**Come to understand your pain differently—and learn practices you can carry into daily life.**

Have you ever done everything right and still felt stuck?

You took away the trigger. You found a distraction. You pushed through the urge again and again.

And somehow the habit is still here.

My guest this week, Nelson Whiting, said something that really landed for me. When we’re coping, we’re still fighting. And when we’re fighting, our system is still in survival mode.

That doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means the real thing underneath hasn’t been reached yet.

Nelson and I talked about where those deeper patterns come from, why shame shows up under so many of them, and what helps people finally shift.

You can hear our conversation inside The Spiritually Curious Therapist, available through the podcast link in my bio. 🎧

When you feel pain, it’s so natural for fear to follow. That fear pulls more of your attention toward the sensation, and it can teach your brain that there really is something to be afraid of.

So the question I like to ask is a gentle one. Can I offer myself a different experience in this moment?

When we can give the brain and nervous system something other than fear, they can start to back off a little bit.

This is the kind of practice we’ll explore together at Reiki for Chronic Pain & Illness, a two-day retreat near Philadelphia on November 20 and 21. Enrollment is now open, and there are only 6 spots.

You can understand where a belief came from and still feel it show up in an ordinary moment. Someone seems disappointed, a conversation feels uncertain, or you make a mistake, and suddenly you’re questioning your worth again.

In this week’s conversation with Nelson Whiting, I returned to something I often hear in my psychotherapy work: “I know why I do this. How do I stop?”

That question deserves space. Understanding what is happening may be part of the work, while exploring how you experience and respond to it can require more support.

If this feels familiar, From Lock to Liberation is an option for exploring deeper individual work with me.

Hi, I’m Jodi Silverman, a licensed therapist, and I’ve been doing this work for over 30 years.

A lot of the people I work with have already been to therapy. They can tell you exactly why they get anxious, shut down, or say yes when they mean no; however, knowing why hasn’t made it stop.

Others live with pain or illness that has taken over their days, and they’re tired of feeling like a problem to fix.

In my sessions, we talk, and we also work with what your body is doing. I use tools like Brainspotting, Pain Reprocessing Therapy, and Reiki to help your body feel calm enough to try something new.

I also host The Spiritually Curious Therapist podcast, and if you’re a therapist or healer, you can find my community at Journey with Kindred Souls.

If you want to see if we’re a good fit, book a free consultation through the link in my bio or send me a message.

You feel a symptom, and you start to wonder what it means. That worry pulls more of your attention toward your body.

One pattern I like to explore is the pain-fear cycle. You might check the sensation again and again, brace yourself, or avoid something you expect will hurt. As your attention focuses on possible danger, the sensation can start to feel more threatening, and when it gets stronger, it seems to prove that something is wrong.

You’re not doing this on purpose, or even consciously. It’s an understandable way your system tries to protect you, and noticing it gives us somewhere to begin.

We’ll explore this cycle together at Reiki for Chronic Pain & Illness, a two-day retreat near Philadelphia on November 20 and 21. Enrollment is open for this small group of 6.

Is this getting worse? What caused this? Am I going to be able to do what I planned today?

If you live with persistent pain or symptoms, you might notice a sensation and feel your mind start asking a million questions and making predictions right away.

Do I need to sit differently? Do I need to move differently?

All of these questions make sense, especially if pain or symptoms have interrupted your life before. There’s nothing wrong with you for asking them.

At Reiki for Chronic Pain & Illness, my two-day retreat near Philadelphia on November 20 and 21, we’ll practice a gentler way to meet those moments.

Enrollment is open, and there are only 6 spots.

You catch your reflection in a store window and feel that familiar drop in your stomach, like your body has let you down again.

In one of my episode inside The Spiritually Curious Therapist, my guest PAULA D. ATKINSON , a body liberation psychotherapist, shared what she tells clients who have hated their bodies for most of their lives.

In her words, “Your body is not lying to you. She is so loyal to you. She has never betrayed you.”

Paula’s words stayed with me, because I’ve been thinking a lot about what it might mean to actually be on your body’s side, to listen to it and trust it.

So many of us learned early to treat our bodies like a problem to manage. If listening to your body instead feels unfamiliar, that makes sense. It can start with simply noticing what your body is telling you today.

Paula and I go much deeper into this in our full conversation.

When you live with pain or illness, it’s easy to spend the whole day checking on your body. You wonder if it’s getting worse, what you did wrong, and what you should try next.

This November, I’m teaching a small, two-day Reiki training near Philadelphia just for people living with pain and ongoing symptoms.

You’ll learn Reiki Level I, with a focus on using it on yourself. We’ll also talk about what science tells us about pain, and how worry and constant checking can change the way pain feels. Then we’ll practice meeting what you feel with curiosity instead of alarm.

You don’t need to be good at meditation, and you don’t need to believe anything about Reiki. You can move, stretch, or lie down any time you need to.

There are only six spots.

When you live with pain that won’t go away, your body can start to feel like a full-time job.

You check it in the morning.
You check it again at night.
You try the new supplement, the new stretch, the new diet, hoping this one will finally be the answer.

And all of that makes sense.

When something hurts, you want it to stop.

But over time, all that watching and fixing can become a pattern of its own. Your brain sees all that attention and decides something must be really wrong, and the alarm gets louder.

That’s what I mean when I say the symptom isn’t the lock.

The lock is the scared prediction underneath it, the one that says something bad will happen if you stop keeping watch.

In this week’s episode, I share why Reiki can help you be with your body in a softer, safer way.
