if someone goes and gets an MRI or they've had surgery and they're like, I know that I'm bone on bone. What is the timetable for healing before it becomes chronic and before it has something to do with the mind body? I am not saying that there is a mind body connection for acute pain.

We pull our muscles, we hurt ourselves. That's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about once the medically agreed upon time that something should have healed is over, you have to take a look at pausing right there and getting curious about why these pain signals keep firing. Surgery can repair an ACL, but so many times, five years, 10 years later, oh, that's my bad knee.

These pain signals are a result of a brain and nervous system in long-term fight or flight. When you pause and learn, when you don't use your resistance as a bar to curiosity, you will start to understand. It will make perfect sense. And that's when you really change your life.
