    Whitney shares her journey of healing from an incurable illness through mind-body techniques. She explains how chronic pain and illness are often rooted in stress and emotional trauma. The brain perceives danger and sends pain signals as an alarm. Whitney emphasizes the importance of creating a sense of safety and retraining the brain to turn off the alarm. She discusses the mind-body connection and the impact of beliefs and labels on healing. Whitney also highlights the need for a holistic approach to healthcare that addresses the emotional and psychological aspects of pain and illness. The mind and body are interconnected, and mental health can affect physical health. Chronic conditions can be caused by trauma or stress, and the brain can create pain signals as a protective mechanism. Understanding the science behind mind-body medicine is crucial for recovery. Education and awareness are key, as well as teaching the brain that it is safe and in control. Building a supportive community and finding ways to respond differently to pain can lead to healing and self-care. In this final part of the conversation, Katie opens up about her personal struggles and the impact it has on her well-being. Whitney offers guidance on self-compassion and the importance of listening to and validating our own emotions. They discuss the concept of 'coming home to yourself' and the need to prioritize the relationship we have with ourselves.
