Today’s topic is about part of the normal mind-body healing process- extinction bursts.
When you are starting to experience some success with healing, one thing that can commonly happen is a resurgence of pain in an old area or a completely new pain.
Dr Sarno called this the “symptom imperative.”
In “The Way Out” by Alan Gordon, they call it an extinction burst because of a study with a rat receiving food through a lever.
When the lever broke, the rate started pressing more urgently and quickly before the behavior of pressing the button extinguished.
If you have an extinction burst, there are 3 common stages 1- panic, 2- forcing it, and 3- oh this is how it works!
Listen to this episode for more, and trust the process- extinction bursts are a good thing because it means the signal will soon become extinct!
