Today I had a great opportunity to interview Abigail Hirsch, PhD - we dove deep into the neuroscience, as well as the new (as of Jan 2022!) diagnosis that is now in ICD-11 - which is SO SO important to be aware of, and we discuss the pros & cons of this now being a diagnostic code - and more importantly, what to look for with treatment. Abigail Hirsch, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist who specializes in creating digital products that transform lives. She's the co-founder of chronic pain managem...

Listening to your body started out as great advice, but as the mind-body connection has had increasing awareness (yay!), I've seen some really common patterns pop up around this. Whether you are brand new to trying to listen to your body, or you're someone who hasn't been able to figure out how the heck to listen, or, you're someone who has been doing it, but has been frustrated at the results...this episode is for you!

Anna Holtzman is a chronic pain recovery therapist and coach. She got into this work through her own recovery process from over ten years of chronic migraines. And through the work she now guides her clients through, she found her way from fear to freedom. On this episode, Anna & I have an amazing conversation where we really get into the nuance around the semantics in the pain world - and some of the problems that come from the language that is used. We also then dive into reasons why your body...

Was exercise your mental health outlet, and now you're unable to do it because of chronic pain? Even worse, have you been told the solution is to just stop doing the thing you love? If so, this episode is for you! We will explore why exercise can be a GREAT outlet for mental health, and ways to expand our toolbelt so it isn't the only thing to rely on (because that's a lot of pressure!!). If you want access to the process I mention at the very beginning, email me: Andrea@DrAndreaMoore.com or DM...

In this episode, I have the honor of interviewing my mentor, Dr. Valerie Rein, author of "Patriarchy Stress Disorder" (if you don't already own it, go buy it now!). This episode is full of richness as we dive into how understanding the patriarchy is actually crucial for our healing journey. Next we explore intergenerational trauma, some misconceptions in the self help world on what it means to be authentic, and then lastly, dive into what it means to pursue desires - and how to even tell if the ...

In this episode we dive into intentionally sitting with discomfort. Which sounds weird, until you realize that we spend so much of our energy desperately trying to avoid discomfort (which doesn't even work). If you're in chronic pain, you're no stranger to discomfort as it is - what if you could choose to use it as something to fuel you, rather than exhaust you?

Have you ever felt like you "should" be more compassionate to yourself, but also pretty convinced that if you give yourself some grace, you'll be even more of a hot mess/disaster/lazy/insert self-deprecation here????

Soundbites are EVERYWHERE. And they aren't necessarily wrong - they are often discussing an outcome though, and jump past the work it can take to achieve that outcome.⁠ ⁠So we read these, and then beat ourselves up for not having already achieved them!⁠ ⁠Nuance is KEY. In this episode, I discuss this pervasive issue, and then talk about 3 common "sound bites" I hear that when interpreted in certain ways become more harmful than helpful.⁠ ⁠One of them is "no pain, no gain" - my take on it migh...

All too often, trauma is dismissed because it 'wasn't that bad' or it 'doesn't count', but underneath all of this, there is a very real physiological reaction that is occurring that is leading to nervous system sensitization & therefore, chronic pain. In this episode, I offer a different take on trauma, and why the word 'trauma' is problematic in the first place - and offer an alternative way to look at it. Whether or not you think you have trauma, if you have chronic pain, you MUST listen in to...
