Did you know that trying too hard to fix your pain might actually be keeping it stuck? When we're in pain, our instinct is to fight it, analyze it, and search for a solution—but sometimes, that approach backfires. In this video, I'll show you why pushing too hard can reinforce pain pathways in the brain and what to do instead. We'll shift the way you see pain, quiet the false alarms, and ease the pressure—because sometimes, letting go is the key to real relief. Let's dive in!
In this episode you'll learn:
⏰ 02:48 - Introduction
⏰ 04:27 - The brain and chronic pain
⏰ 07:30 - Why problem-solving can backfire
⏰ 11:45 - Reframing pain as a false alarm
⏰ 14:49 - How to lower the pressure to lower the pain
⏰ 20:24 - The ONE thing you can do to activate self-healing

Hi there! I am Jane Hogan, the Wellness Engineer, and the host of Wellness By Design. I spent 30 years designing foundations for buildings until the pain and inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis led me to hang up my hard hat and follow my heart. Now I blend my backgrounds in science and spirituality to teach people how to tap into the power of their mind, body and soul. I help them release pain naturally so they can become the best version of themselves.
Wellness By Design is a show dedicated to helping people achieve wellness not by reacting to the world around them but by intentionally designing a life based on what their own body needs. In this show we explore practices, methods and science that contribute to releasing pain and inflammation naturally.
