Episode Description

Ever feel like you're at war with yourself when dealing with chronic pain? One part of you wants to push through while another screams "stop!" In this episode, Dr. Zev Nevo explores Internal Family Systems (IFS) and how understanding the different "parts" of yourself can transform your pain experience. Learn why these internal conflicts keep your nervous system in threat mode—and what you can do about it.

00:00 Introduction to Chronic Pain and Internal Conflict

01:21 Understanding Internal Family Systems (IFS)

01:39 Real-Life Examples of Internal Conflict

05:03 The Neuroscience Behind Pain and Internal Conflict

16:31 Practical Steps to Work with Your Parts

31:29 Common Questions and Answers

34:27 Final Thoughts and Encouragement

What You'll Learn

  • Why you have conflicting voices about your pain (and why that's completely normal)
  • How Internal Family Systems helps you understand your internal "family" of parts
  • The neuroscience behind why internal conflict amplifies pain signals
  • Four practical techniques to work with your parts starting today
  • How accessing "Self" can shift your nervous system from threat to safety
  • Real patient stories of transformation through parts work

Key Concepts Covered

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Protector parts: The voices trying to keep you safe
  • Exiled parts: Emotional pain that needs to be seen and healed
  • The Critic: The harsh voice that's actually trying to motivate you
  • Self: The calm, compassionate center underneath all the parts

The Neuroscience Connection

  • Fear avoidance model of chronic pain
  • How threat detection amplifies pain (amygdala & anterior cingulate cortex)
  • Polyvagal theory and nervous system states
  • Heart rate variability and pain regulation
  • The bio-psychosocial model of pain

Four Practices You Can Start Today

  1. Parts Mapping - Notice and name which parts show up during pain
  2. Get Curious - Interview your parts to understand their positive intentions
  3. Thank & Reassure - Acknowledge parts for trying to help, then update them
  4. Unblend - Create distance when a part takes over completely

Research Discussed

  • Yoni Ashar's 2022 JAMA Psychiatry study on Pain Reprocessing Therapy
  • Tracy et al. (2016) on heart rate variability and chronic pain
  • Lumley et al. (2017) on Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy
  • Dr. Stephen Porges' polyvagal theory

In this episode of Mind Your Body, Dr. Zev Nevo delves into the practice of empathy as a learnable skill, not just an inherent trait, particularly in the context of supporting partners suffering from chronic pain. Dr. Nevo outlines Brene Brown’s four attributes of empathy: perspective taking, staying out of judgment, recognizing emotion, and communicating understanding. He contrasts cognitive empathy, which promotes sustainable compassion and genuine connection, with affective empathy that may lead to burnout and enmeshment. He also discusses practical strategies for caregivers, emphasizing the importance of regulating one's own nervous system to effectively co-regulate their partner's. The episode provides actionable advice on maintaining balanced compassion without drowning in empathy fatigue, setting the stage for the upcoming part three on Compassion Plus Boundaries.

Dr. Nevo introduces a three-part series called 'Partners in Pain' aimed at addressing these challenges. Through personal anecdotes and insights from Brene Brown's research on empathy, sympathy, and compassion, Dr. Nevo distinguishes between responses that drive disconnection and those that foster connection. He discusses the multiple burdens carried by individuals with chronic pain, including the emotional labor of protecting their partners from discomfort.

In this episode of 'Mind Your Body,' Dr. Zev Nevo, a trauma-informed physician certified in physical and regenerative medicine, explores the complex relationship between pain and mind-body health. Dr. Nevo discusses how chronic pain can become a sensitized signal, not just a warning of physical harm but an attention-grabber that indicates unaddressed needs, boundary challenges, or misalignments with core values. By differentiating between pain as a smoke alarm (danger) and an alarm clock (a call to attention), listeners are guided on recognizing and interpreting pain signals to foster self-awareness and wellbeing. Practical advice is offered on how to pause, engage the prefrontal cortex, and build a more trusting relationship with our body's messages.
