In this episode, I sit down with one of my Road To Remission clients, Lynn, to talk about her 15 year journey with interstitial cystitis, bladder pain, urgency, frequency, pelvic floor dysfunction, and nervous system dysregulation.
After years of medications, bladder procedures, elimination diets, and fear around symptoms, Lynn shares how joining Road To Remission helped her finally start addressing the root causes of her interstitial cystitis symptoms and begin finding relief.
We talk about the connection between chronic stress, trauma, perfectionism, and interstitial cystitis symptoms, along with the mindset shifts that helped her stop catastrophizing every flare. Lynn also shares how she went from planning life around bathrooms to taking road trips, exercising, going to concerts, and feeling more confident in her body again.
We also discuss:
• Interstitial cystitis and the nervous system
• Pelvic floor physical therapy for IC
• Why the IC diet kept her stuck in fear
• Neuroplastic symptoms and pain science
• The tools inside Road To Remission that helped her feel safe in her body again
• The importance of support, education, and community during healing
If you feel stuck in the cycle of managing interstitial cystitis symptoms without long term relief, this episode will leave you feeling hopeful and understood.
