Over time, the nervous system “learns” to feel the sensation of stress induced pain when the cycle of pain and anguish becomes repetitive. The sensitized nervous system makes the body feel continuous pain. Leading to fear, worry & more anticipation of pain. Associating the pain with a ‘catastrophic’ health issue. This sends the body into ‘fight’ or ‘flight’ mode increasing the emotional distress around pain and feeling even more pain. Often times without a primary source.

” Dr Suchita delivered 4 well-received sessions at Moor Allerton Elderly Care (MAECare) during January and February 2020, covering the benefits of Mindfulness techniques for Sleep Deprivation, Chronic Pain, Stress Anxiety and Low Mood, with a focus on older people. She was very well-prepared, knowledgeable and passionate on how mindfulness can help on each subject, and provided excellent information for class members to take home” MAECare Leeds

“After completing 6-week sessions with Dr Suchita, I feel much more relaxed and in control of my own thoughts and emotions. Suchita understood my worries and dilemmas during the consultation and delivered tailor made sessions to help me overcome my worries. I was introduced to meditation which helped me tremendously increasing self discipline, self awareness, positive mood and outlook” DG

“I found the individual and group sessions very helpful and relaxing.
I suffer from severe chronic pain
but when doing some of the individual sessions myself particularly when trying to get sleep was the most beneficial.
It is important to do regularly to
gain the best outcome” – Beverley
