Curious about chronic pain? Lauren Cannell speaks about taking control of chronic pain and getting your life back after traumatic events. Lauren has been a Tasmanian police officer for more than 20 years and participated in endurance sporting events such as Ironman races and ultra-marathons. After having a brain haemorrhage, followed by an accident where she was hit by a motor vehicle, Lauren experienced ongoing chronic pain long after her injuries healed. This led her on a journey of understanding pain, how it works and how to recover. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

And this is why it's so important when people who talk about chronic pain are those who had actual experience!! Her talk was great!

Relatable. I've had similar experiences with the mind playing tricks on me. It's liberating once you understand it.

Thank you Lauren, for sharing your invaluable perspective. I'm a homeopath and will gladly integrate your perspective in the care I offer patients who experience persistent pain.

I am currently in a lot of pain with a slipped disc and its hard for me to understand that telling myself I am safe is going to stop the pain?

Failed Back Surgery sufferer here, belly button down for years now. The brain damage done to me by the pain was awful. Glutamate in the brain lowers from the constant pain and Auvelity raises those levels helping recharge me for the pain fight. Cymbalta and Gabapentin both had horrific side effects so bad I couldn’t take them. No real side effects so far with auvelity. I hope this helps someone drowning in nerve pain.

Great talk about your experience. Thank you for sharing it. A few resources helpful to me, trying to reduce chronic pain, have been Dr. John Sarno's methods back in the 1990's and Australian Dr. Lorimar Mosley. The workbook "Protectometer" has been very helpful to work thru it. Best wishes to your continued improvement. Its sure a journey rather than a destination.

Great video!! Thank you 🙏🏻 Unconditional love to all ❤️ ♾️ 🌌. When I was in intense pain, I would wake up daily Thanking God/Universe/Life for healing me and taking my pain away. Being grateful in advance is very powerful! Keep an attitude of gratitude regardless of your current situation!

Well done Lauren - it's an important talk and mirrors what I have seen working with persistent pain clients as a Physiotherapist.

This is a great talk but most people who have commented have joint pain. I have pelvic pain. Does anyone else experience this type of pain and how do they deal with it. ?

Pain pills and ritalin. Learn to live with it, people hate you, you’re a burden, you feel ashamed of your body. The obsession and circling in the mind about the pain and or cause of pain and or loss of quality of life can be mitigated with stimulant medication, I prefer ritalin and opioids. Morphine and oxy, just that there is a shortage of medications.. though there is high demand, no supply, and you realize how imperfect the world is and you hate that you hurt yourself trying to be perfection.
