00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:10.279
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Welcome to Jasonnewland dot com.

2
00:00:10.439 --> 00:00:14.119
My name's Jason Newland and this is let me bore

3
00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:19.199
your pain away. Please only listen when you can safety

4
00:00:19.239 --> 00:00:23.120
close your eyes, and also when you know the cause

5
00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:29.199
of the chronic pain, and with the permission from your doctor.

6
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:35.840
This is not a replacement for any kind of medical

7
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:46.039
or therapeutic advice or help, right bird bum. I have

8
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.920
a Facebook group called Jason Newland's Boring Group. If you'd

9
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:56.159
like to join, there's a link on my website. All

10
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:00.399
my recordings are on my website so you can sting them,

11
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:05.480
download them, as well as being on Apple Podcasts and

12
00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:09.159
all the other podcast hosts, as well as also being

13
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:15.719
on YouTube at Jason Newland. So now YouTube is pretty

14
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:20.079
much a podcast for me. I upload all the latest

15
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:24.239
recordings I do and you can just stream them stream

16
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:30.400
the audio on YouTube. It's just another option. I hope

17
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:36.159
you're well. I thought i'd I thought i'd have a look.

18
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:42.359
I'm always looking, always looking, I'm always looking for different

19
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:51.719
things to talk about in these particular recordings. Technically it's

20
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:57.120
not really about talking about my pain relief techniques, but

21
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.200
that is what I'm interested in and I would imagine

22
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:06.040
if you're listening to this recording, bearing in mind the title,

23
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.879
you'd also be interested in that as well. So I'm

24
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.360
just like looking through different things that we can talk about,

25
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:24.960
always looking at. Yeah, just improving my education and giving

26
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:30.680
me more ideas for future recordings based on scientific research

27
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:42.639
as well as my imagination and my incredible creativity. Just

28
00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:46.360
had some chocolates on. I'm like a little kid that's

29
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:53.400
just had its first first sip of coke on buzzing. Man, Oh,

30
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.360
I'm just looking. I'm just I used chat GPT. I

31
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.759
asked it. This is what I asked it. Please find

32
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:04.800
me ten most I didn't do it very grammatically. Ten

33
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.240
of the most unusual chronic pay re leaf techniques for

34
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.719
a person or a person pond. So I didn't spell

35
00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:15.520
that right. Can do themselves to relieve their pain. I

36
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.759
must be done by the way they think. BlimE me.

37
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:26.560
I think it's the Internet that's made me. I'm just

38
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:29.199
not great at typing anymore. I do a lot of

39
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:34.479
talking writing. I can't even read my own writing anymore,

40
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:39.400
and typing is I think the worst thing. It's good

41
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:46.599
and it's bad. Chat EPT understands what I'm saying even

42
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:53.840
if I don't give the right words, but it makes

43
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:55.919
it a little bit harder because if you do it

44
00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:57.719
anywhere else, you do it on Google, or if you

45
00:03:57.800 --> 00:04:00.840
do it on Audible. Looking for a book and I

46
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:05.039
put in rain relief instead of pain relief, it's going

47
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:11.000
to come up with books about rain. Water ports instead

48
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.280
of water sports is going to come up. Or if

49
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.120
I'm putting water boats, I want I want to know

50
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:19.480
about ports and I put in water sports. Yeah, anyway,

51
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:23.680
you know you've come up with a different thing. I

52
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:28.000
don't search for water sports or audible. I don't. I'm

53
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:37.079
not into surfing. I tried to water ski once. It's

54
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:41.000
nineteen eighty seven, or is it early nineteen eighty eight?

55
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:48.959
Who is it early nineteen eighty eight? Yeah, I think

56
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:57.279
it was. My boss took me water skiing in the evening.

57
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.480
It was dark, so it's in the win It must

58
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:03.279
have been because it wasn't late at night. It was

59
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:08.800
about six seven. Took me to this place. I don't

60
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:13.000
know if he was trying to harm me. I really

61
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:19.319
don't know, but it's just thought it was weird and

62
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:22.959
he puts me in I get this water this life

63
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:27.360
jacket thing and it drags me under the waterhead first.

64
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.639
It's like, that's not how it's supposed to work, is it?

65
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:34.639
You got it on backwards, like got it on upside down?

66
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.199
Perhaps if you go in the waterhead feet first rather

67
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.800
than the head first. Well perhaps if you didn't push

68
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:45.160
me anyway, that wasn't for me. So I just got

69
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:49.600
out and was very cold. That's the one and only

70
00:05:49.680 --> 00:06:00.279
time I ever really got involved in water skiing. And

71
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.120
I also do not know why I'm talking about water skins,

72
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:07.519
so don't worry. That's how these recordings go. So you've

73
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:17.079
got PRT pain reprocessing therapy. See, I know pretty much

74
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:23.759
all of these things, but I can't necessarily always describe

75
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:32.519
them or explain them in a scientific way succinctly. So

76
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:36.079
I might take an hour to describe this, which is

77
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:37.920
kind of part of what I do. This is the

78
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:45.079
boring part, but it's very short and piffy. So PRT

79
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:49.920
teaches individuals to reinterpret pain signals as non threatening, helping

80
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:54.839
the brain unlearn chronic pain patterns. By reframing pain as

81
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:59.639
a false alarm, patients can reduce its intensity. Clinical trials

82
00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:05.000
have showed significant pain reductions using this approach. So I

83
00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.879
was listening to this book the other day audio audiobook.

84
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.519
Can you imagine saying that thirty years ago, I was

85
00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:17.120
listening to this book last night. Oh no, he's on

86
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:22.920
well again, no audible. I like listen. I listened to books.

87
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:28.199
I listened to audiobooks every single day. And this is

88
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.160
where I show off about something that isn't impressive at all,

89
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:36.079
and my voice has gone qroaky, it's gone. Really when

90
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:38.040
it does this, I have to always do the same thing.

91
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:47.319
I was born and and star. I'd like to see

92
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:51.120
how lo I can go Hi, it's better. It's better

93
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:55.439
now is it listening time?

94
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.560
So let's have a look. So today I've already listened

95
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:05.959
to three and nine minutes, and it's two o'clock daily.

96
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:11.040
Yesterday I listened to six hours and three minutes day before,

97
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:14.720
three hours twenty two minutes, two hours, thirty one minutes

98
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:17.920
the day before that, forty six minutes, forty five seconds

99
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:24.079
a day before that. So that's Friday, the nineteenth. So

100
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:27.680
far this month April eighty four hours and twenty three minutes.

101
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:32.000
February I listened to one hundred and forty hours and

102
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:35.879
twelve minutes of audio books. So yeah, I'm quite an

103
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:44.879
avid listener of audiobooks. I would say I like to read,

104
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.759
but I also like to be read too. And what

105
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:55.240
I will do, because reading is different from listening to

106
00:08:56.240 --> 00:09:00.720
someone reading it. To me, it feels different. I will

107
00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.559
listen to a book a couple of times, maybe three times,

108
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:10.279
so I can kind of absorb what I've read. Yeah, anyway,

109
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:13.919
So I was listening to this book. It was I'll

110
00:09:13.919 --> 00:09:18.159
tell you what it was so I can actually quote.

111
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.639
I'm not going to quote the book because it's not writing,

112
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:26.080
is it. But it's called The Pain Habit by Drew.

113
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:33.519
It's called The Pain Habit by Drew Coverdale Discover the

114
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:39.159
Truth About Your Pain. Okay, So I did do a

115
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:44.720
recording called the False Alarm or something, what's it called.

116
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:51.159
I did this a few weeks back, and it's talking

117
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:54.080
about the same thing as what I've already talked about.

118
00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.120
You know, in my mind, I like to think that

119
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:02.919
it was my idea, but I don't take I don't

120
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:08.480
take credit for any any ideas because I don't know

121
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:11.840
what I've been influenced by. That's the thing. You listen.

122
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:17.360
You read enough books, listen to enough lectures on YouTube, experts,

123
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:26.360
whether it's psychology, whether it's chronic pain, hypnosis, you know, whatever,

124
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:32.440
whatever it might be. It's kind of hard to know

125
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:39.919
what's mine and what's not mine. And I'm not that bothered. Really,

126
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:43.879
I doesn't. I don't need any kind of accolades. I mean,

127
00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:47.360
I might come up with something that's original. It's possible.

128
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:51.559
I think I present it in an original way. I

129
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:56.480
don't think there's anyone else that presents chronic pain relief

130
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:03.840
recordings like this. However, I don't think that's necessarily a

131
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:07.720
good thing. Okay, it's okay. The one I did is

132
00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:11.000
a long time ago, so I'm going to look back.

133
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:16.440
It'll be in my chronic pain library. So there's two

134
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.000
hundred and sixty seven episodes, but this goes back years

135
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:25.919
and years and years and years and years years. Yeah,

136
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:28.720
I'm talking. I don't have any of the years on them,

137
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:36.080
but we're talking all over a decade. So I saw

138
00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:40.879
one that was two thousand and eleven, so in Seeds

139
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:45.720
of Pain Relief that's two thousand and ten, probably Free

140
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:52.200
Pain Relief that Yeah, So we're talking ten fifteen years

141
00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:56.080
ago some of these. So let's look, there's one did

142
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.879
you do? I'm sure with something that's like a faulty car,

143
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:04.639
alarm pain relief. See some of the recordings I've got

144
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:10.279
back pain, chronic pain, and hypnosis Free pain relief, Change

145
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:14.679
your pain. Some of the quality of these recordings audio

146
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:18.919
wise is awful compared to now. So the free pain

147
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.679
relief was fifty one minutes. Leave the chronic pain in

148
00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:29.480
the other body, magic creame cream, magic creame, magic cream

149
00:12:29.519 --> 00:12:33.440
for pain relief, Focus on your pain for relief, give

150
00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:38.399
me your pain feet licking dog reduces your pain. That

151
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:44.159
was surprisingly quite popular. It's a short one hypnosis for

152
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:49.159
chronic leg pain, pain relief, for chronic back pain, pain

153
00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:55.600
an esthetic splinter, ten minute pain relief, hypnosis Relax chronic pain,

154
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:59.960
Relax chronic back pain. So these are a little bit longer.

155
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:05.159
I observe the pain or that pain. That's thirty one minutes.

156
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:10.559
Pain relief hypnosis for you chronic pain is not your master.

157
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:17.799
That's twenty three minutes. So hypnosis of chronic foot pain,

158
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:22.600
pain relief, easy and simple, wave goodbye to your pain

159
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:30.279
with hypnosis. I think that was probably in the WOW.

160
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:35.879
That might have even been the late two thousands, like

161
00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:41.799
two thousand and nine. Possibly Hypnosis for arm pain daily

162
00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:50.120
pain relief, lower back pain reduction, sowing seeds of pain relief, observe,

163
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:57.039
observe your chronic pain, short hypnosis for eye pain, random

164
00:13:57.159 --> 00:14:01.480
chat about chronic pain. It's like a little seed for

165
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.559
what I do now. But that's you know, a long,

166
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:09.919
long time ago, probably fifteen, sixteen years ago. Hypnosis for

167
00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:15.399
hand pain, waves of pain relief, natural pain relief, lower back,

168
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:18.480
that was all. That's not that long ago. Fifth of

169
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:24.919
February twenty nineteen, So six years ago. Well, let's yeah,

170
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:30.039
over just over six years ago. I normally try and

171
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:34.120
have the dates on these, but I los track back

172
00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:42.440
pain relief, easy and simple, ten minute pain relief, long

173
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:49.080
hypnosis for lower pain that was probably. Yeah. Wow, it's

174
00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:55.559
a long time ago. Pain relief for chronic stomach pain,

175
00:14:56.879 --> 00:15:02.200
stop headache, pain with hypnosis. Wow. I'm just going to

176
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:05.200
skip through a few of them. Change your pain, reduce

177
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:10.960
pain medication with hypnosis, pain relief for shoulder pain, finger pain,

178
00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:15.960
draw pain, headache pain, jaw pain, another one for headache pain,

179
00:15:16.960 --> 00:15:23.480
chest pain. There I've done some short hypnosis pain relief courses,

180
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.600
wave of pain relief. Then there's stomach pain, neck pain,

181
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:36.600
eye pain, chronic head pain, neck pain, stomach, middle back, headache,

182
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:44.159
and shoulder, daily pain relief. Chronic pain is not your master,

183
00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:47.360
or here we go. Chronic pain is like a dodgy

184
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:55.200
caralon I'm interested to find how long ago I did

185
00:15:55.200 --> 00:16:01.120
this recording just out of interest, just because I'm interested.

186
00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:05.639
That's why chronic pain is like a dodgy car alarm.

187
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:07.639
So let's have a look at this. I found this

188
00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:10.720
on my I wonder if it's going to have the

189
00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:19.600
original information about when it was first recorded according to

190
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:27.159
this nineteenth of May twenty eighteen. So this is something

191
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:34.080
that I So it's still the same there, Yeah, twenty

192
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:38.480
eighteen is the earliest one, because sometimes they change depending. Yeah,

193
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:48.440
so twenty eighteen seven nearly seven years ago. So I

194
00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:52.039
talked about this long before I saw it, only read

195
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.000
or heard about it yesterday. On this The pain habit

196
00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:59.240
and this book, I don't know unless I've read this

197
00:16:59.279 --> 00:17:04.000
book before, or it's possible when was it produced? When

198
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:18.000
was it written? The pain habits, The pain habits. So

199
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:29.880
look let's see what year it was. Oh, I don't

200
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.039
think it says we might say it a look? When

201
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:36.079
was it? When was it? When? When? When? Twenty twenty

202
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:46.119
oh okay, so ooh we copied me. No, obviously not.

203
00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:50.279
I might have just heard it in the past, so

204
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:53.680
what it is. I could have just told you what

205
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:56.400
it is rather than go on and blow my own trumpet.

206
00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:00.119
But if I get a chance to blow me on,

207
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:02.359
I'm going to take it. Sorry, no one else is

208
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.279
going to blow it, so I will blow it for myself.

209
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:14.640
I quite liked that idea of the chronic pain is

210
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:28.160
like a dodgy car alon because it's it's like oversensitivity,

211
00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:32.160
which is kind of the point of it. Over sensitivity

212
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:38.720
had an example of this downstairs. So in a flat downstairs,

213
00:18:38.759 --> 00:18:41.960
someone broke into her flat. It's the same flat that

214
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:45.119
my friend used to have before he left, so now

215
00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:47.400
there's a different person got it so I broke into

216
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:51.119
it about two months ago, I suppose. So what she

217
00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:57.920
did is got an alarm system so that if anyone

218
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:00.880
tried to push a window in or ever, it would

219
00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:11.440
set it off. Unfortunately, a butterfly just have farting in

220
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:15.960
the next road sets it off. So she's had to

221
00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:22.319
kind of recalibrate the thing because it was going off

222
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:24.400
all the time and she's not here, or she wasn't

223
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:28.000
here at that time. When it was going off. So

224
00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:30.720
it was like she called me, but I think she

225
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.000
called me once said it is my alarm going I said,

226
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:35.880
I don't know. Can you go and check? So I

227
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:38.559
went down and yeah, it sounds like something's going off,

228
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:46.240
but I don't want to say much notice of it.

229
00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:49.759
It wasn't like really loud and loud it downstairs, but

230
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:53.160
I couldn't hear so much up here. Wasn't as loud

231
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:59.720
as the smoke alarm. That's a loud Oh. By the way,

232
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:02.119
just in case you're wondering why I'm just wabbling on

233
00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:07.559
about stuff, that's what this is. I will talk about

234
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:12.160
specific techniques and maybe look at ways of doing it.

235
00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:15.319
May be, you know, a little bit different because it's

236
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:17.799
going to be looking through my eyes instead of someone

237
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:25.640
else's eyes. I imagine we all interpret things in our own way,

238
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:29.640
and that'd be quite good actually thinking about it, because

239
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:35.160
I found that with learning the subject, I've read so

240
00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:42.440
many books on a subject. Let's say, for example, what counseling.

241
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:45.319
When I was becoming a counselor, or years before I

242
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:49.119
even studied as counseling, so I started getting interested in

243
00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:55.519
reading counseling books back in nineteen ninety eight, and then

244
00:20:55.559 --> 00:21:00.680
I started training as a counselor in nineteen two thousand

245
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:04.880
and seven. So yeah, I was like nine years studying

246
00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:08.599
counseling just as a as a subject because I was interested,

247
00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:15.279
and I think, you know, things like person centered counseling,

248
00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:19.200
there's so many different ways, there's so many people's different

249
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:23.839
opinions and person centered, client centered, whatever you want to

250
00:21:23.880 --> 00:21:27.599
call it. And people talking about Carl Rodgers and what

251
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:31.279
Car Rodgers was like and what Car Rodgers meant by

252
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:37.079
what he wrote about, which is useful. It's really useful

253
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:40.000
to have different perspectives. So read, you know, lots of

254
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.880
different books about car Rogers, but also to read the

255
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:49.559
books that Carl Rodgers wrote himself to get more of

256
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:57.640
an idea. And you know, I will not I'm not

257
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:01.039
embarrassed to say that I don't understand everything read. I don't.

258
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:04.359
Sometimes it takes me a little while to kind of

259
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:10.160
figure out what they're talking about or to put it

260
00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:16.319
into context. Well, sometimes I'm just I just zone out

261
00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:18.839
and drift away. So I'm looking at the words on

262
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:23.440
the page and I'm thinking about the last time I

263
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.079
got to hold hands with someone, or other things that

264
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:33.960
happened twenty five years ago, so and I kind of think, oh,

265
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:37.759
and reread it. But then sometimes I'll read a book

266
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:45.119
about something that's complicated, and then I read another book

267
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:49.839
and it doesn't say much about it doesn't goes in depth,

268
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:55.640
but it makes everything I've read previously makes sense. Oh,

269
00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:59.240
it's like a missing bit, then the little missing connection

270
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:05.599
from my brain. But then it's I think that's sometimes

271
00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:08.279
all you need, isn't it? You know? And something's just

272
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:15.359
really difficult. BlimE me. I'm talking about blowing trumpet and

273
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:21.279
it sounds like someone's literally blowing a trumpet in the distance.

274
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:27.480
I mean seriously, like a proper trumpet or a bugle

275
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:30.079
or something like that. It's more trumpet, you sound more lower,

276
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:38.279
bugles a bit high. Isn't it er trumpets? That was

277
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:49.119
my trumpet impression. So I was wondering, Yeah, it's I

278
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:51.799
don't even know what my point is. But I like

279
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:55.160
to see things with different angles and from different perspectives.

280
00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:59.920
And I also like to see things from my perspective

281
00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:08.319
because sometimes I sometimes I don't understand something, sometimes I

282
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:11.880
do understand something, and sometimes I understand more things than

283
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.680
I realized I didn't understand and sometimes I knew very

284
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:19.240
little about something that I was quite positive that I

285
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:24.519
did know about. So it's you know, constant learning, relearning changing.

286
00:24:26.160 --> 00:24:28.799
And also things change anyway, don't they. I mean, I

287
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:31.799
remember I used to have I had an injury in

288
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:36.160
my shoulder, and it was awful for a long time.

289
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:41.240
And a weird thing about it is how ridiculous it was,

290
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:45.480
because all it was, you know, it was what two

291
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:49.240
thousand and five, sitting at a table. There's a shelf

292
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:51.960
to the right of me sticking out with a nice

293
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:56.480
sharp edge. Lovely wouldn't I've just moved in there, so

294
00:24:56.519 --> 00:25:01.119
I'm not really into the whole dynamics where the seats are,

295
00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:05.359
and you know, to avoid it, I stand up smash

296
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:08.559
my shoulder into the corner of this wooden thing, its

297
00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:13.319
wooden shelf, which is was pretty much shoulder length, shoulder heighth.

298
00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:20.720
I suppose. I could not believe how much pain was

299
00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:26.119
in my shoulder. And that was two thousand and five.

300
00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:35.359
I was getting steroid injections. I had two steroid injections.

301
00:25:35.559 --> 00:25:42.799
I think the last one was about two thousand and eleven.

302
00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:48.720
So I went for years with it and just tried

303
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:54.079
physiotherapy all kinds of stuff like it was ridiculous. I

304
00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:56.000
mean it was healed, it must have healed, but it

305
00:25:56.079 --> 00:26:00.519
was causing me a lot of problems. There are Oh,

306
00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:06.160
the steroid injections magic, painful to start with, but then

307
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:10.480
it's just magic, like within such a short time nothing,

308
00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:14.680
so it's like, wow, kind of just have kind of

309
00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:17.319
just have these every time they wear off. No, you're

310
00:26:17.319 --> 00:26:25.480
only allowed to what you're only allowed to. Okay, now

311
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:35.519
it's weird. But what I noticed after a while I

312
00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:40.240
stopped thinking about it, and by not thinking about it,

313
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:48.359
I wasn't I wasn't worried about it coming back. I

314
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:55.079
wasn't concerned about, you know, being having discomfort in my shoulder.

315
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:58.799
It got to the point where I'd almost forgotten about it.

316
00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:06.759
And you know it, eventually, after this first injection, it

317
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:12.119
did start to become agitated. But I was doing a

318
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:16.519
lot of exercise, so I'm not being Obviously exercise is important,

319
00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:20.559
but I think I was possibly pushing my shoulder too

320
00:27:20.599 --> 00:27:22.720
much because I was going to boxing twice a week

321
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.160
and also exercising in the evenings and on the punch

322
00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:28.880
bag in the garden, and you know, it's a lot

323
00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:33.559
of shoulder a lot of shoulder activity, which I hadn't

324
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:41.759
really had for quite a while. Actually, yeah, I was

325
00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:46.480
the first like intense exercise i'd done for probably since

326
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:50.880
two thousand and four, so this would be two thousand

327
00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:56.640
and nine, I think it was, or yeah, two thousand

328
00:27:56.640 --> 00:27:59.119
and nine, two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine,

329
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:01.519
I was doing a boxing So I've been that four

330
00:28:01.599 --> 00:28:06.720
or five years since I've really had any intense activity physical.

331
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:18.599
But before that, I'd almost forgotten about it. Isn't it weird?

332
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:22.400
You know when you forget something just like and then

333
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:27.440
you remember because guaranteed you know, I got I got

334
00:28:27.599 --> 00:28:33.279
our rights on my lower back. And I mentioned that

335
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:36.480
it's not like all that I understand chronic pain because

336
00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:38.319
I have it in my lower back. I'm not saying

337
00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:40.000
it in that way, although that is part of the

338
00:28:40.039 --> 00:28:46.279
reason why I told you. It's it's like an ongoing, manageable,

339
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:53.039
manageable thing, you know. But there was a time when

340
00:28:53.079 --> 00:28:59.440
I was expecting it to be uncomfortable. It was all

341
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:02.079
that and that, you know, if it's a whole thing

342
00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:08.720
with psychology and especially with hypnosis, expectation is everything really

343
00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:16.920
is so important. If someone expects to feel more relaxed.

344
00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:21.599
If you expect to feel calmer, you expect your mind

345
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:32.880
to slow down, you expect your body to relax. It's more.

346
00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:39.759
I found that it's more likely to happen. And the

347
00:29:39.799 --> 00:29:45.759
literature says the same thing. It's expectation is powerful, what

348
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:50.480
we expect. It's an old joke, isn't There's a really

349
00:29:50.480 --> 00:30:03.640
old joke, and it's about expectations. It's what was it? Oh? Yeah,

350
00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:12.880
so this lady she said, oh the late Yeah, ladies.

351
00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:17.599
She wanted to borrow her friends vibrating machine. It was

352
00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:20.839
like one of those massage vibrators, quite quite long, and

353
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:23.279
it's good you can vibrate. I mean, I think I

354
00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:25.359
could use it on my lower back, and that's what

355
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:27.880
they use it for. My girlfriend used to have one

356
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:32.039
of them. She didn't didn't have any chronic pain though,

357
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:36.519
I don't know anyway, So she was going to go

358
00:30:36.559 --> 00:30:39.319
to a next door neighbor. Her name was Doris and

359
00:30:39.359 --> 00:30:43.279
everyone names was pat. Names aren't that relevant, but they

360
00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:46.480
are a few if you're friends with someone, especially if

361
00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:48.839
you want to gossip about them. Can't gossip about someone

362
00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:53.799
if you don't know their name. Oh, anyway, this isn't

363
00:30:53.839 --> 00:30:58.640
a bad gossiping. So Doris went round to Pat's house.

364
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:03.119
She's walking around and this is an old joke. It's

365
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:06.720
not my joke, it's an old joke, but it's basically

366
00:31:06.720 --> 00:31:14.799
about this subject. And she's thinking, I wonder if she'd

367
00:31:14.880 --> 00:31:24.279
let me borrow her vibrating muscle relaxer machine. I wonder

368
00:31:24.279 --> 00:31:29.960
if she will, mind you, she didn't. Yeah, she didn't

369
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:37.079
return my that lubricant that she borrowed to lubricate the

370
00:31:37.160 --> 00:31:42.960
wheels on her wheelbarrow. No she didn't, did she? She

371
00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:45.759
didn't return that to me? So maybe she won't return

372
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:52.359
this to me? Mind you, I'm borrowing, I'm borrowing off hers.

373
00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:55.160
That wouldn't really matter because I'm the one returning. But

374
00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:58.000
maybe she's I don't know, maybe she's got the aump

375
00:31:58.000 --> 00:32:02.599
with me. And then she's thinking, yeah, but if I

376
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:08.000
borrow that? Was she what? She accuses me of using

377
00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:12.519
it for something other than just message massaging my muscles

378
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:16.039
in my back or my thigh or in my shoulder,

379
00:32:16.799 --> 00:32:19.279
while she accused me of doing something weird with it,

380
00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:26.119
like mixing bread better, or you know, sort of making

381
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:33.000
pancakes and mixing the better, or sword fighting with with

382
00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:37.119
my husband or whatever, and you know, because he's he's

383
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:46.079
got a message as well for his feet. And she's like, oh,

384
00:32:46.599 --> 00:32:48.680
I don't like the idea of being accused of stuff

385
00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:56.160
like that, and she starts thinking more things and what

386
00:32:56.440 --> 00:32:59.400
she what she says, No, what she says, No, what

387
00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:01.519
she says. I want to lend it to you. I

388
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:08.519
want you to have my my therapeutic muscle relaxing vibrating

389
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:14.160
machine because I need it, because because her husband's away

390
00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:17.119
for the weekend, and I don't know why she would

391
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:20.240
need it for that. Maybe maybe she gets she needs

392
00:33:20.240 --> 00:33:28.559
more relaxation. I don't know. And she also has a

393
00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:32.799
cur and straw when he's away. It's weird anyway. Yeah,

394
00:33:32.839 --> 00:33:34.279
maybe she won't want me to have it. And I

395
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:36.640
just feel bad because I've lent her loads of stuff.

396
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:40.240
I never asked for that rememby I learn her that

397
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:44.079
egg she came around, she did she needed an egg,

398
00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:48.400
and that time when she asked she needed some tea bags,

399
00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:51.559
and I gave her three tea bags. I never asked

400
00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:56.119
for them back. That toilet roll when they gave her

401
00:33:56.680 --> 00:33:59.759
some toilet roll, one role, I never I never ever

402
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:02.240
got that one back. I didn't want that one back.

403
00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:06.319
But you know, I never got a replacement back. So

404
00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:09.760
she's walking out to her friend's a neighbor's door. It's

405
00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:13.599
all angry now, thinking there's all these things. A neighbor

406
00:34:13.639 --> 00:34:21.000
answered the door, and she says, and Doris says to

407
00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:26.239
Pat who answered door, I'll keep your therapeutic vibrating therapeutic

408
00:34:26.400 --> 00:34:35.079
machine massager for your muscles and walks off. That was

409
00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:37.599
a version of one. I think the actually original one

410
00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:41.320
is about a wheelbarrow or about a lord mower, but

411
00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:51.760
I thought this would be a bit more memorable. It's weird, though,

412
00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:53.480
because you know, when you think you're doing a good thing,

413
00:34:54.840 --> 00:35:02.840
you're doing a nice thing. And I actually got one

414
00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:09.039
of those. I got one of those massage things for

415
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:18.639
my auntie and she was like everyone was laughing because

416
00:35:18.679 --> 00:35:20.920
she was with us at Christmas, Like everyone was laughing,

417
00:35:22.599 --> 00:35:28.239
like it's a nice present. It's like just because I'm

418
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:35.519
into sort of healing and alternative therapies and things like that.

419
00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:39.679
Everyone else is like, ha ha, look what you've got, Auntie,

420
00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:44.119
ha ha ha. And she seemed embarrassed. I said look,

421
00:35:45.159 --> 00:35:46.960
and she said, well, I can't believe you bought that.

422
00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:48.480
And I can't believe you gave that to me in

423
00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:53.599
front of everyone. I said, well, i'll take it back

424
00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:55.400
of you that want it. She said, no, no, that's okay.

425
00:35:55.599 --> 00:36:01.960
I'll keep it so good. Well, perhaps I can. I

426
00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:04.480
can use it with you. I can help you use it,

427
00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:10.239
and she ran off. I haven't seen her since. I mean,

428
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:13.760
I was just like, you're trying to help someone out.

429
00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:16.079
Because I knew that she had some problems with her back.

430
00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:19.159
I thought if I could get some of those knots

431
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:21.239
out of her back, because at the time, I was

432
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:28.079
studying message and they did use some machines for the message,

433
00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:32.639
and it's a little bit more advanced now though some

434
00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:36.760
of the stuff I see on YouTube is the rule.

435
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:42.440
It leaves their back red. But you know, because I did.

436
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:46.760
I used to practice message on quite a few civilians

437
00:36:46.800 --> 00:36:49.880
as well as like my other people. Was at college

438
00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:54.400
with this is two thousand and three and one bloke.

439
00:36:55.519 --> 00:36:58.239
I did it with both him and his girlfriend separately.

440
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:03.320
And he was a bodybuilder, so he's huge. His back

441
00:37:03.480 --> 00:37:09.800
was massive, and nothing I did, I mean, that's why

442
00:37:09.800 --> 00:37:14.519
I probably wouldn't need needed some kind of vibrating therapeutic

443
00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:20.599
muscle long muscle thing to get into those crevices because

444
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:25.320
nothing I did really, I mean, he said he liked it,

445
00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:29.039
but he was saying harder stick it in me, and

446
00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:33.159
like what he said, no, just harder, put usher elbow.

447
00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:35.840
He said, Okay, if you're going to put it there,

448
00:37:35.880 --> 00:37:41.519
that's fine. Like nothing I did was enough. Honestly, I

449
00:37:41.519 --> 00:37:43.840
think I could have walked up and down his back

450
00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:49.320
and it still wouldn't have been enough, which is weird

451
00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:52.719
when you consider how heavy I am. But there you go.

452
00:37:53.800 --> 00:38:06.800
I didn't try and well, yeah, I didn't try and

453
00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:10.920
walk up and down his back. That's something that would

454
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:12.920
be weird, although I did have someone do that to

455
00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:18.880
me once I had. It was kind of like a

456
00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:23.920
first date went really well. I watched boxing and she

457
00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:27.000
watched it with me here, and then we went to bed,

458
00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:29.559
so I was like, wow, this is the best day ever.

459
00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:36.519
And then in the morning or like probably late morning,

460
00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:39.880
I was having to lay down getting some sleep, getting

461
00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:42.440
a bit of rest, and she was she started walking

462
00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:49.480
up and down my back. I've so, what do you do.

463
00:38:49.760 --> 00:38:53.920
I'm just trying to relax you. I said, a cup

464
00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:56.920
of tea and some biscuits would have been enough. I

465
00:38:57.159 --> 00:38:59.480
need to walk up and down my back. It's very strange.

466
00:39:00.960 --> 00:39:08.000
It's weird because they're not standing up dance and none

467
00:39:08.000 --> 00:39:14.920
seeding clinicals try it. Okay, So this idea of the

468
00:39:15.039 --> 00:39:22.039
false alarm, I liked that idea. I'm just I'd totally

469
00:39:22.039 --> 00:39:26.280
forgotten about my neighbor downstairs thing. I also had a

470
00:39:26.679 --> 00:39:29.639
there was a car over in the garage for the

471
00:39:29.800 --> 00:39:35.719
parking bit over the back constantly going off just the

472
00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:46.400
slightest bit of wind. Do do do? Like? God? Really? So,

473
00:39:50.559 --> 00:39:53.719
isn't it weird? Because I can't like that whether you

474
00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:58.480
put a leaf, dropped a leaf on its bonnet or

475
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:03.559
you hit the back window with a baseball bat, same sound?

476
00:40:03.960 --> 00:40:06.719
Do do do? Do? Do? Do? Do do do do do?

477
00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:12.119
It's crazy, But they got it sorted anyway in the end.

478
00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:20.679
So you've got other things so reinterpreting, realizing, and I

479
00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:31.039
mean I talked about this before. I very much class

480
00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:39.519
what a technique, a a thing, a thought pattern and

481
00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:44.320
thinking and exercise whatever you want to call it. To

482
00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:53.639
reduce physical discomfort can also reduce stress and anxiety because

483
00:40:53.679 --> 00:41:00.199
they both are connected. Like you know, when someone when

484
00:41:00.199 --> 00:41:03.800
you become relaxed, When you feel more relaxed, you feel

485
00:41:03.800 --> 00:41:07.760
more comfort. It's just one of those things. It's not

486
00:41:07.800 --> 00:41:11.880
an opinion, it's just a fact. You feel more relaxed,

487
00:41:11.960 --> 00:41:15.000
you feel more comfortable, and because you feel the more comfortable,

488
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:19.679
you feel more relaxed. And it's like your body relaxes,

489
00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:24.639
your mind slowed down, and because your mind slowed down,

490
00:41:24.960 --> 00:41:32.360
your body relaxes. It's like a continuous wave of comfort.

491
00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:42.159
And I had this weird event when I was going

492
00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:48.079
through a lot of anxiety back in two thousand and two, three, four, five, six, whatever.

493
00:41:48.599 --> 00:41:52.880
But two thousand and four this happened, and I was

494
00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:59.400
so oversensitive to my body. Every single feeling could trigger

495
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:04.039
me to like, what's that? Was that? And my alarm,

496
00:42:04.159 --> 00:42:08.960
my basically my phone and off. But it vibrated, Yeah,

497
00:42:09.119 --> 00:42:13.119
a lot of vibration in this this recording, isn't it?

498
00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:19.519
So I removed it from my pocket, so I had

499
00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:22.559
it was on vibrate, not ring. But at the start

500
00:42:22.559 --> 00:42:24.800
with I didn't know. I just thought, I've got this

501
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:29.559
weird feeling in my bum, What's going on? And I

502
00:42:29.639 --> 00:42:34.199
went into panic attack, like really full on instantly, and

503
00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:37.159
I realized it was my phone. So I took my

504
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:47.480
phone out and straight away I felt calm. He was

505
00:42:47.480 --> 00:42:49.599
in my back pocket by the way, just in case. Yeah,

506
00:42:50.079 --> 00:42:56.800
he had a weird visual. I felt calm straight away,

507
00:42:59.360 --> 00:43:04.360
and that was because it made me realize that that's

508
00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:07.559
where the false alarm kind of comes in, because I've

509
00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:16.360
experienced it in a big way. Another one is it's

510
00:43:16.400 --> 00:43:21.800
not my story, but there was a man. I've heard

511
00:43:21.880 --> 00:43:26.159
different I've heard different versions of this story, lots of

512
00:43:26.199 --> 00:43:29.400
different versions. But one version is this. He was on

513
00:43:29.440 --> 00:43:35.719
a building site a long time ago, well maybe I

514
00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:40.119
don't know how long ago, and he had his boots on,

515
00:43:40.360 --> 00:43:42.960
you know, all the stuff that builders have, and he

516
00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:50.159
stepped on a big now really sharp long now went

517
00:43:50.280 --> 00:43:55.840
through his boot from the bottom all the way up

518
00:43:55.880 --> 00:44:05.000
to the top. He's screaming, screaming in agony. They have

519
00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:09.119
to cut so paramedics accord because he's stuck. He's stuck

520
00:44:09.159 --> 00:44:12.960
to this board. So they have to remove the board,

521
00:44:13.679 --> 00:44:15.599
cut parts of the board off so they can take

522
00:44:15.679 --> 00:44:20.880
him into hospital. And they have to cut the boot off.

523
00:44:24.000 --> 00:44:30.280
And they've given him medication. Nothing's helping he's for You

524
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:34.239
can imagine, it's like so much, so much pain, and none,

525
00:44:34.599 --> 00:44:38.960
none of the medication is taking the edge off of it. Screaming, screaming,

526
00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:44.119
the place down. I mean, there's even there are other

527
00:44:44.159 --> 00:44:47.559
parts of the hospital where women giving birth we showering.

528
00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:52.320
Shut up, shut this is our moment. We want to scream,

529
00:44:52.400 --> 00:44:55.280
not you what you're screaming for, which is a little

530
00:44:55.320 --> 00:44:57.440
bit rude. I mean, I think there's enough room for

531
00:44:57.480 --> 00:45:04.320
everyone to scream. And so they had to remove the

532
00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:06.559
shoe because of the way and now was in it.

533
00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:11.480
They had to remove the boot. I cut the boot

534
00:45:11.519 --> 00:45:16.480
off and then hard. So it's like really quite difficult

535
00:45:16.519 --> 00:45:17.840
to do it. I don't know if they've got the

536
00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:23.079
fire service to help do that or whatever. When they

537
00:45:23.119 --> 00:45:26.320
managed to get the shoe off and say, the foot off.

538
00:45:26.320 --> 00:45:28.000
When they managed to get the shoe off the foot,

539
00:45:28.519 --> 00:45:30.480
it turned out the knill has just gone between the toes,

540
00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:37.159
no injury at all. Nothing had gone between the big

541
00:45:37.199 --> 00:45:41.400
toe and the first toe and kind of bent so

542
00:45:41.480 --> 00:45:47.440
it looked like it had gone through the foot instantly,

543
00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:54.199
no pain goneh because there was no injury. It was

544
00:45:54.239 --> 00:45:59.760
a danger signal sent to his brain and he looked

545
00:45:59.760 --> 00:46:03.199
at it it and he backed the signal up, said, Yep,

546
00:46:03.239 --> 00:46:06.199
it's definitely a danger signal because I can see it is.

547
00:46:09.239 --> 00:46:13.119
But as soon as the foot is taking the shoes

548
00:46:13.159 --> 00:46:16.360
taken off rather the boot, and he saw that there's

549
00:46:16.440 --> 00:46:30.000
no injury, not even a scratch gone completely gone. So

550
00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:33.880
it shows that I think in a way the pain

551
00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:38.719
reprocessing therapy which I could, I might go in a

552
00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:41.920
little bit more into this, just have a look, tell

553
00:46:42.280 --> 00:46:58.320
me more about one with some exercises can do. So

554
00:46:58.360 --> 00:47:01.360
I'm going to just tell me more about one with

555
00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:04.639
some excersis my listeners can do. Because I do know

556
00:47:04.679 --> 00:47:06.280
about this a little bit, but I'm not I know,

557
00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:15.599
expell on anything. So Pain reprocessing therapy RPT is an innotative, innovative,

558
00:47:16.360 --> 00:47:21.679
evidence based approach that helps individuals retrain their brains to

559
00:47:21.719 --> 00:47:26.039
interpret pain signals as non threatening, thereby reducing or eliminating

560
00:47:26.079 --> 00:47:31.760
chronic pain. Central to PRT is the concept that chronic

561
00:47:31.800 --> 00:47:37.039
pain often results from the brain misinterpreting safe signals from

562
00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:42.519
the body as dangerous. So by altering these perceptions, PRT

563
00:47:42.679 --> 00:47:46.960
aims to break the cycle of chronic pain. A key

564
00:47:47.000 --> 00:47:50.719
technique with MPRT is semitic tracking. So I have done

565
00:47:50.760 --> 00:47:55.119
and recording on semitic tracking. I've done a lot of

566
00:47:55.159 --> 00:47:59.159
these recordings over the years. I say, look, whereas it

567
00:47:59.280 --> 00:48:07.039
semitic somatic somitic. Yes, it is Stress and Pain Relief

568
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:13.599
Number thirty eight thirty eight minutes and twenty eight seconds long.

569
00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:22.519
Semitic tracking exercise. Oh, when did I do that? Then? Anyone?

570
00:48:24.159 --> 00:48:28.480
Anyone know? I don't know. I want to find out though,

571
00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:34.400
When did I do the track in Semitic tracking exercise

572
00:48:35.159 --> 00:48:43.880
Semitic traking exercise have the look and properties nineteenth of

573
00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:48.679
August twenty twenty two. According to no, I've actually got

574
00:48:48.719 --> 00:48:51.719
the exact date because I've got the date next to it,

575
00:48:51.760 --> 00:48:58.000
twenty fourth of September twenty twenty one, twenty one. So

576
00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:02.320
that's that four years ago. Nearly BlimE me. So yeah,

577
00:49:02.559 --> 00:49:05.639
so I did that. I couldn't tell you what's on it.

578
00:49:05.639 --> 00:49:12.440
It's about Semitic tracking, but it's an exercise. It's basically

579
00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:17.400
just tracking how you feel, noticing how you feel, and

580
00:49:18.199 --> 00:49:23.800
like a lot of things like the acceptance therapy, like

581
00:49:24.800 --> 00:49:29.480
actually accepting how you feel a lot. You know, meditation

582
00:49:29.639 --> 00:49:34.559
can be like that as well, mindfulness accepting how you feel,

583
00:49:34.559 --> 00:49:38.840
but not trying to push it away, not trying to

584
00:49:38.880 --> 00:49:43.360
hold onto it, just letting it be, letting it flow.

585
00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:49.000
And there's a lot to be said for you know,

586
00:49:49.679 --> 00:49:54.840
lots of different ways. I mean, semitic tracking could be

587
00:49:54.920 --> 00:49:57.320
called lots of different things, but in this case it's

588
00:49:57.360 --> 00:50:03.440
called this one's called guided semitic track exercise. So get

589
00:50:03.440 --> 00:50:10.440
yourself comfortable, focus on the sensation. So the place where

590
00:50:10.480 --> 00:50:14.519
you were, I mean to be fair, after listening to

591
00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:18.400
me boggling on about blah blah blah blah blah for

592
00:50:18.440 --> 00:50:25.960
the last seventeen hours, maybe you've just let go a

593
00:50:26.000 --> 00:50:29.599
little bit and and you might have even fallen asleep.

594
00:50:29.679 --> 00:50:33.960
That is possible. I don't understand it because I think

595
00:50:34.000 --> 00:50:41.039
I'm particularly very exciting and invigorating speaker, but not everybody

596
00:50:41.159 --> 00:50:44.920
seems to agree. So then what you do is you

597
00:50:45.000 --> 00:50:48.719
describe what the sensations are like. Is it sharp, doll robin?

598
00:50:49.480 --> 00:50:51.880
Is it constant or does it fluctuate? Does it have

599
00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:56.000
a shape, size or color? And then what you do

600
00:50:56.119 --> 00:51:03.719
is you remind yourself that's according to PRT, which is

601
00:51:03.719 --> 00:51:10.039
what is it called again PRT PRT Pain reprocessing therapy.

602
00:51:10.559 --> 00:51:17.800
It's according to PRT, this physical sensation is a result

603
00:51:17.840 --> 00:51:24.719
of the brain's misinterpretation, and you can internally affirm that

604
00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:31.079
the sensation is not harmful. If it's chronic pain it's

605
00:51:31.079 --> 00:51:34.039
not necessary. You don't need it. Acute pain is a

606
00:51:34.039 --> 00:51:40.960
different thing, but me having the arthrights in my lower back,

607
00:51:41.679 --> 00:51:45.199
it's not necessary to have it be bad or anything.

608
00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:51.840
Just get a few twinges. But I don't, you know,

609
00:51:51.880 --> 00:51:55.039
in the past, it's been pretty awful. A few years ago,

610
00:51:55.159 --> 00:52:00.440
it's really really pretty awful. But now as I gave

611
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:03.559
it a bit of my attention, maybe gave it less

612
00:52:03.599 --> 00:52:08.559
of my attention in some ways as well, and realizing

613
00:52:08.599 --> 00:52:12.880
the sensation is not harmful. I think it also helped

614
00:52:12.960 --> 00:52:18.159
to have the diagnosis as well, knowing that it's just arthritis.

615
00:52:19.920 --> 00:52:23.239
You know, I'm not the only person in their fifties

616
00:52:23.400 --> 00:52:25.559
with a bit of arthritis. There's quite a few of us.

617
00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:33.559
Also remembering that your body is safe and it's just

618
00:52:34.159 --> 00:52:41.199
a misfire and a signals. But you don't need to

619
00:52:41.480 --> 00:52:46.440
be reminded of something every two minutes, you know. So

620
00:52:46.599 --> 00:52:48.639
I don't need to be reminded that I've got arthritis

621
00:52:48.639 --> 00:52:51.960
and my lower back. Why do I need to be reminded.

622
00:52:52.039 --> 00:52:57.480
I know it's there. I don't need, you know. It

623
00:52:57.519 --> 00:52:58.920
reminds me a little bit when I was on the

624
00:52:58.960 --> 00:53:05.400
way to Bulgaria. Yeah, my one of my traveling companions

625
00:53:07.639 --> 00:53:10.480
thought it was hilarious to wake me up every time

626
00:53:10.519 --> 00:53:13.039
I fell asleep on the plane, to wake me up

627
00:53:13.039 --> 00:53:18.599
and tell me that we weren't there yet. So I

628
00:53:18.639 --> 00:53:22.960
got my own back when we got to the well.

629
00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:24.800
It was this skiing holiday, so I was to push

630
00:53:24.880 --> 00:53:28.039
him down the mountain and he got eaten by beers,

631
00:53:27.760 --> 00:53:32.880
so I think it was fair. He didn't BlimE me,

632
00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:40.440
just scratched a bit. He managed to get help introduce

633
00:53:40.559 --> 00:53:46.079
positive imagery. Visualize the pain sensation as something benign or

634
00:53:46.119 --> 00:53:51.960
even pleasant. For instance, imagine it as a warm, glowing

635
00:53:52.079 --> 00:53:59.639
light or a gentle wave. That this can help reduce

636
00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:05.760
the threat perception associated with that physical sensation, because it's

637
00:54:05.880 --> 00:54:10.480
very difficult to be I'd say almost impossible to be

638
00:54:10.519 --> 00:54:14.719
positive and negative at the same time about the same

639
00:54:14.719 --> 00:54:19.440
thing either. And that's where I suppose black and white

640
00:54:19.440 --> 00:54:23.199
thinking it's kind of useful. I don't know why my

641
00:54:23.280 --> 00:54:26.039
voice went up so high when I said that it's

642
00:54:26.079 --> 00:54:34.199
kind of useful. It is. It's either relaxed or it's

643
00:54:34.239 --> 00:54:37.559
not relaxed. It's either safe or it's not safe. It

644
00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:41.679
could be neutral, but then if it's neutral, it's not

645
00:54:41.719 --> 00:54:47.440
a physical issue like it's not causing you problems. It's

646
00:54:47.480 --> 00:54:51.039
not going to be discomfort because if it's neutral, you're

647
00:54:51.079 --> 00:54:54.679
going to feel okay. If you feel fine, you're going

648
00:54:54.760 --> 00:54:57.559
to feel okay. If you feel relaxed, you're going to

649
00:54:57.639 --> 00:55:01.599
feel okay. Even if you're wondering to yourself, what am

650
00:55:01.599 --> 00:55:05.039
I doing listen to this weird man from England? You're

651
00:55:05.039 --> 00:55:08.679
going to be okay, you know, at the end of

652
00:55:08.679 --> 00:55:11.960
this record, and you might think, like, okay, it's fair

653
00:55:12.079 --> 00:55:17.840
enough to physical sensation has reduced. I don't know why

654
00:55:17.880 --> 00:55:23.840
that is. It's nice, it's nice that it's reduced, a

655
00:55:23.840 --> 00:55:26.199
little bit unsure why that is. It doesn't make sense

656
00:55:26.519 --> 00:55:34.440
considering what I've just listened to. I'm never going to

657
00:55:34.519 --> 00:55:37.360
get that time back. I've listened to that man for

658
00:55:37.960 --> 00:55:40.920
seventy three hours now. I don't know how long the

659
00:55:40.960 --> 00:55:49.880
recording's gone on for. And some may argue, some may

660
00:55:50.039 --> 00:56:01.199
say that I don't always make sense. I would half

661
00:56:01.320 --> 00:56:06.039
disagree half disagree with you on that, but I don't know.

662
00:56:06.119 --> 00:56:15.920
It's it's about changing your perception, changing how you feel,

663
00:56:16.119 --> 00:56:19.119
and there's lots of different ways to change how you feel.

664
00:56:20.679 --> 00:56:23.159
You can change how you feel just by moving your

665
00:56:23.199 --> 00:56:29.159
body just by looking at something different, by remembering a joke,

666
00:56:29.679 --> 00:56:36.679
by thinking of someone that you care about. There's so

667
00:56:36.840 --> 00:56:44.719
many different things. Changing your physiology is easy. It is instant,

668
00:56:46.400 --> 00:56:50.320
and you can change how you think about something. And

669
00:56:50.639 --> 00:56:55.079
sometimes the idea of you know, like I said, the culty,

670
00:56:55.239 --> 00:57:08.880
the faulty car alarm, the misinterpret in signals. Even if

671
00:57:08.920 --> 00:57:12.800
it doesn't resonate straight away, it might be one of

672
00:57:12.840 --> 00:57:17.039
those slow burners. But you start to think about it

673
00:57:17.079 --> 00:57:30.599
a bit more and you realize, ah h, I mean

674
00:57:30.679 --> 00:57:35.639
there's there's a this is weird. There's actually a thing

675
00:57:36.000 --> 00:57:39.920
in So I do study pain science, like chronic pain

676
00:57:40.000 --> 00:57:44.400
science in a sense of listening to lectures, reading books.

677
00:57:44.679 --> 00:57:48.519
I'm not a qualified and I'm not an expert on

678
00:57:48.880 --> 00:57:54.960
anything apart from growing toenails a bit too long. I'm

679
00:57:54.960 --> 00:57:59.679
pretty good at that. I need to cut them. I

680
00:57:59.719 --> 00:58:02.119
even need to cut my show, and that show nows

681
00:58:02.199 --> 00:58:06.679
if you need to cut my toenails or get larger shoes,

682
00:58:07.079 --> 00:58:09.840
one of them or the other be walking around in

683
00:58:09.880 --> 00:58:17.000
clown shoes soon. So I was thinking, as I try

684
00:58:17.039 --> 00:58:19.800
and remember what I was talking about before I decided

685
00:58:19.840 --> 00:58:29.519
to talk about toenails for some reason. Yeah, so people

686
00:58:29.599 --> 00:58:38.920
that sometimes get a back X ray and find out

687
00:58:39.000 --> 00:58:44.519
that there there's back issues. Quite often ended up with

688
00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:53.519
more physical pain than they had before. And sometimes they

689
00:58:53.559 --> 00:58:56.519
had no physical pain before. Maybe the back X ray

690
00:58:56.719 --> 00:59:00.880
was due to slouch in or do to do something else,

691
00:59:00.960 --> 00:59:08.360
some other reason. Maybe they were just getting their lower

692
00:59:08.400 --> 00:59:10.800
back looked at, and then it's noticed, well, your upper

693
00:59:10.800 --> 00:59:17.280
back is whatever, you know. And there was studies done

694
00:59:17.559 --> 00:59:20.599
years ago where they did thousands of back X rays.

695
00:59:20.599 --> 00:59:23.880
They looked at back X rays on people, and they

696
00:59:23.920 --> 00:59:32.039
realized that everybody has wear and telling their back. It's natural,

697
00:59:33.079 --> 00:59:36.920
even age twenty. So I'm like thirty three percent of

698
00:59:36.960 --> 00:59:39.880
the population of in the eighteen their twenties will have

699
00:59:40.639 --> 00:59:48.480
back back injuries or back wearage, let's say. But be fine,

700
00:59:48.800 --> 00:59:52.920
be absolutely fine, and it increases as you get older,

701
00:59:53.320 --> 00:59:56.559
but it's still personal. Still be absolutely fine. By the way,

702
00:59:56.599 --> 00:59:59.920
that statistic might not be right, it might be five percent,

703
01:00:00.079 --> 01:00:07.440
but I'm just saying as an example, but they're absolutely fine.

704
01:00:08.320 --> 01:00:09.960
And they did a study where they did, like they

705
01:00:10.000 --> 01:00:12.079
just basically looked at all these different X rays of

706
01:00:12.079 --> 01:00:16.599
people's backs, and they looked at what the wear and

707
01:00:16.639 --> 01:00:19.199
tear was and what the you know, the state of

708
01:00:19.239 --> 01:00:21.800
their back is, you know, with the spine and stuff.

709
01:00:24.920 --> 01:00:28.119
And there was more people with spinal injury that had

710
01:00:28.199 --> 01:00:35.920
no pain than had pain. And there was a lot

711
01:00:35.960 --> 01:00:40.079
of people that had no no physical injury in their

712
01:00:40.079 --> 01:00:46.280
back at all, that had problems with their back, but

713
01:00:46.320 --> 01:00:49.000
there was no physical injury, no physical problems at all.

714
01:00:51.239 --> 01:00:55.840
So it's one of those things, isn't it. It's like

715
01:00:58.039 --> 01:01:01.159
it's not saying all it's all in your brea. I mean,

716
01:01:01.199 --> 01:01:03.760
technically it is. It's not all in your mind, but

717
01:01:03.800 --> 01:01:06.800
it is all in your brain because that's where all

718
01:01:06.840 --> 01:01:11.440
the feelings, all the sensations come from. You know, ironically,

719
01:01:11.559 --> 01:01:18.599
there are no sensations in the brain itself. Did you

720
01:01:18.679 --> 01:01:22.199
know that? That blows my mind Every time I think

721
01:01:22.199 --> 01:01:24.800
about it, it just blows my mind. It's one of those

722
01:01:24.840 --> 01:01:27.920
things that just doesn't make sense. So the brain is

723
01:01:28.000 --> 01:01:34.559
responsible for physical sensations, pleasure, when you feel, touch everything,

724
01:01:35.480 --> 01:01:39.159
any kind of physical sensation is produced by the brain.

725
01:01:45.199 --> 01:01:49.920
That surgeons, neurosurgeons can open brain. Surgeons can you know,

726
01:01:50.639 --> 01:01:54.679
open up their head look inside and they can play

727
01:01:54.679 --> 01:01:58.480
around the brain while the person's awake, and they have

728
01:01:58.679 --> 01:02:07.840
no they can't feel it. There's no physical sensors inside

729
01:02:07.880 --> 01:02:14.440
the brain. They have a local anesthetic for the for

730
01:02:14.519 --> 01:02:18.239
the top of the head before they unscrew it. I

731
01:02:18.239 --> 01:02:20.840
don't know if there's some kind of safety safety valve

732
01:02:20.920 --> 01:02:25.440
or whatever, I don't know, but there's no physical sensations

733
01:02:25.519 --> 01:02:30.920
inside the brain. Yet the brain is responsible for physical feelings.

734
01:02:31.800 --> 01:02:35.480
What it's responsible for everything, isn't it? Everything we feel,

735
01:02:35.519 --> 01:02:40.280
everything we do, every automatic function in the body is

736
01:02:40.320 --> 01:02:47.840
all controlled by the brain. Amazing stuff, really, absolutely amazing.

737
01:02:48.239 --> 01:02:53.000
So the next thing you do is I mean, you say,

738
01:02:53.039 --> 01:02:57.480
this sensation it's not harmful. I mean, you can ask

739
01:02:57.519 --> 01:03:01.039
yourself to start with it. Is it harmful? Just ask

740
01:03:01.079 --> 01:03:04.719
yourself the question. So I say, is the lower back

741
01:03:05.000 --> 01:03:11.199
stuff in my lower back? Is it harmful? Is what's

742
01:03:11.239 --> 01:03:15.480
going on my lower back harmful? It's not, So I

743
01:03:15.480 --> 01:03:19.880
don't need to be reminded. I mean, I know it

744
01:03:19.960 --> 01:03:21.840
sounds weird, but it's no one breaking into my back.

745
01:03:22.840 --> 01:03:24.719
There's not you know, it's not like like if it

746
01:03:24.760 --> 01:03:28.960
was a car or a flat downstairs, there's no one

747
01:03:28.960 --> 01:03:35.119
breaking in the alarm's gone off because a caterpillar blue

748
01:03:35.119 --> 01:03:39.440
on it, blue on the building or whatever. You know.

749
01:03:39.480 --> 01:03:45.800
It's just that's it. I was going to say, caterpillar

750
01:03:45.840 --> 01:03:52.360
clapped his hands, but can cap They've got a lot

751
01:03:52.360 --> 01:03:55.719
of hands, isn't they capillars? So that potentially could just

752
01:03:55.840 --> 01:03:59.000
set off a car alarm or an alarm in the building.

753
01:03:59.480 --> 01:04:04.719
Maybe it reminds me when I was a security guard

754
01:04:06.360 --> 01:04:11.119
nineteen ninety seven. This was and this is long before

755
01:04:11.320 --> 01:04:16.559
I had any kind of anxiety issues. I didn't know

756
01:04:16.599 --> 01:04:18.079
what it was back then. But yes, it's a long

757
01:04:18.119 --> 01:04:22.480
time before that really. And I was there all night

758
01:04:23.920 --> 01:04:27.079
and we're talking about danger signals, right, Okay, I was

759
01:04:27.079 --> 01:04:28.960
there all night on my own. And it was a

760
01:04:28.960 --> 01:04:32.159
printing firm, but not they didn't do the printing, but

761
01:04:32.199 --> 01:04:36.960
they it was where all edited the magazines. And it

762
01:04:37.000 --> 01:04:41.039
was basically a publishers so they did the printing. The

763
01:04:41.119 --> 01:04:46.119
company was something printers, but you know it's where they edited.

764
01:04:46.239 --> 01:04:52.760
They did was it Kerrang and some other like magazines

765
01:04:52.840 --> 01:04:59.800
and stuff. So there's probably three maybe four stories in

766
01:04:59.840 --> 01:05:03.159
that building. There was a basement as well, maybe three

767
01:05:03.199 --> 01:05:06.039
stories in a basement. So I wasell on my own.

768
01:05:06.679 --> 01:05:13.280
I'd start working about three point thirty till or three

769
01:05:13.360 --> 01:05:17.039
till about seven or four till about seven the next day,

770
01:05:17.400 --> 01:05:19.320
So four in the afternoon until seven the next morning

771
01:05:20.880 --> 01:05:25.719
or eight the next morning, whatever, So it's quite long hours.

772
01:05:27.360 --> 01:05:30.360
Everyone would generally be gone by about eight or nine

773
01:05:30.599 --> 01:05:32.599
in the evening. I mean most of the staff would

774
01:05:32.599 --> 01:05:35.760
be gone by six, but some of the I don't know.

775
01:05:35.760 --> 01:05:38.599
I guess they had free lances and you know, they'd

776
01:05:38.880 --> 01:05:41.639
got deadlines to hit, so they'd be around till maybe

777
01:05:41.679 --> 01:05:48.679
eight or nine. But by ten gone, everyone's gone and

778
01:05:48.719 --> 01:05:51.639
no one came back to about six. That's when the

779
01:05:51.679 --> 01:05:56.199
cleaners came to do their job. Now, they accused me

780
01:05:56.239 --> 01:05:59.199
of blocking on it. This is true. It's not really

781
01:05:59.239 --> 01:06:01.360
relevant to the store. Worry if I'm still annoyed about it.

782
01:06:02.000 --> 01:06:06.679
They accused me of blocking one of the toilets. Seriously,

783
01:06:07.199 --> 01:06:11.960
it was not me. It wasn't me. It wasn't I

784
01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:18.440
mean I actually got sacked for that. It wasn't me.

785
01:06:19.440 --> 01:06:26.599
So they they must have gone in because it flooded,

786
01:06:26.599 --> 01:06:33.159
you see, that's what happened. So they sometimes the staff

787
01:06:33.360 --> 01:06:35.239
they didn't always get around to do in the bathroom

788
01:06:35.440 --> 01:06:38.199
that the toilet downstairs. They'd started at the top of

789
01:06:38.239 --> 01:06:41.519
the building, so in the meantime staff would be coming in.

790
01:06:42.480 --> 01:06:45.559
They'd be working from six to eight doing the cleaning.

791
01:06:46.559 --> 01:06:50.880
So they probably came down about half seven, maybe eight

792
01:06:51.920 --> 01:06:59.159
whatever to do the toilet downstairs. Now it was flooded,

793
01:07:02.119 --> 01:07:04.599
but other people, members of staff, were coming up from

794
01:07:04.639 --> 01:07:07.880
downstairs using a toilet. I didn't take any notice of them.

795
01:07:08.079 --> 01:07:10.800
I was busy because the front door was open, so

796
01:07:10.880 --> 01:07:12.440
I had to keep a trick nigh on the door,

797
01:07:12.480 --> 01:07:18.960
and I didn't leave the desk from six onwards. I

798
01:07:19.000 --> 01:07:23.639
went to sleep through the night, of course if I could.

799
01:07:24.960 --> 01:07:28.039
And so someone must have done and chucked a big,

800
01:07:28.119 --> 01:07:31.639
huge log down the toilet, and I got the blame

801
01:07:31.880 --> 01:07:34.639
or that maybe they stuck my name, put a label

802
01:07:34.679 --> 01:07:38.199
with my name on it or something were on the wall.

803
01:07:38.360 --> 01:07:44.239
Jason was here, he did this. The security guard did this,

804
01:07:44.480 --> 01:07:51.960
I don't know, put my phone number, call me no weird.

805
01:07:52.800 --> 01:07:57.599
So I was there one night on my own, as

806
01:07:57.639 --> 01:08:03.480
I always was. Really, the whole place was completely alarmed up.

807
01:08:05.719 --> 01:08:08.360
I used to turn the alarm off when I went upstairs,

808
01:08:08.360 --> 01:08:11.440
so if I did a patrol of one of the floors,

809
01:08:11.440 --> 01:08:14.119
I would turn the alarm off for the floor. I'd

810
01:08:14.159 --> 01:08:17.199
new the code, so i'd do that, And then I

811
01:08:17.359 --> 01:08:20.039
just checked the windows and checked the fire escape and

812
01:08:20.079 --> 01:08:24.880
all that stuff where the one night the alarm went off,

813
01:08:27.920 --> 01:08:36.479
I had cameras downstairs that showed me upstairs, like it

814
01:08:36.560 --> 01:08:38.760
showed me the floors, so I could see the cameras

815
01:08:38.840 --> 01:08:43.039
on the screen and it was quite a high tech really,

816
01:08:43.960 --> 01:08:45.600
but this was in the city, so I guess they

817
01:08:45.600 --> 01:08:56.479
were quite advanced and freaked me out, really did. And

818
01:08:58.640 --> 01:09:01.560
all I had was my little vibe machine thing that

819
01:09:01.600 --> 01:09:04.760
I used to do because I used to my back

820
01:09:04.800 --> 01:09:08.680
of my neck used to really need to be relaxed,

821
01:09:08.720 --> 01:09:11.680
so I used to just massage my back and nikel

822
01:09:11.760 --> 01:09:18.640
his vibrator machine therapeutic one. That's all I had to

823
01:09:18.760 --> 01:09:21.479
defend myself, like for well, it's not a truncheon, but

824
01:09:21.520 --> 01:09:26.439
it's you know, and it's so weird because that was

825
01:09:26.479 --> 01:09:28.880
my job. But I didn't know what to do. I

826
01:09:28.880 --> 01:09:35.600
had no preparation for that eventuality. So I'm creeping around.

827
01:09:35.640 --> 01:09:38.359
I'm turning the alarm off, and I'm thinking, well, if

828
01:09:38.399 --> 01:09:40.479
I turn the alarm off, they're going to know I'm here.

829
01:09:40.920 --> 01:09:46.399
Whoever it is I'm listening, can't hear nothing, so I'm

830
01:09:46.439 --> 01:09:49.840
kind of creeping around. I can't see nothing. Come back downstairs.

831
01:09:49.880 --> 01:09:54.079
The alarm goes off again. I'm looking. Alarm goes off again,

832
01:09:54.199 --> 01:09:58.319
like what's going on. I'm looking at the cam, thinking

833
01:09:58.840 --> 01:10:03.239
I'm going to stare at his cam. I will see anything.

834
01:10:04.399 --> 01:10:06.319
I've got to see it because there's someone up there.

835
01:10:06.319 --> 01:10:08.159
I'm going to see it. Because I was looking everywhere,

836
01:10:08.239 --> 01:10:12.479
looking in the toilets. Well, actually I had a little

837
01:10:12.520 --> 01:10:14.600
look on the floor. Then I ran off, but you know,

838
01:10:14.680 --> 01:10:19.199
I was technically supposed to look around. It turned out

839
01:10:19.239 --> 01:10:23.600
it was a false alarm. Basically, the air conditioner was

840
01:10:23.640 --> 01:10:27.680
coming on and they had a celebration of birthday party

841
01:10:28.000 --> 01:10:30.640
and there was balloons in there, so the air condition

842
01:10:30.800 --> 01:10:33.920
was coming on. The balloon was moving around. It was

843
01:10:33.960 --> 01:10:37.000
like a big blow up human. I think it was

844
01:10:37.039 --> 01:10:40.239
a stag night or something like a stag party that

845
01:10:40.279 --> 01:10:43.680
they'd gone to, so it's a blow up human. So

846
01:10:43.760 --> 01:10:50.399
it was quite nice, and it was moving around like

847
01:10:50.479 --> 01:10:54.319
waving to me. I thought was actually a person, to

848
01:10:54.319 --> 01:10:56.800
be fair, because it was all dressed up. So when

849
01:10:56.800 --> 01:10:58.159
I got up there, I took all the clothes off.

850
01:10:58.359 --> 01:11:03.439
I thought, no, I'm not going to be sounds wrong.

851
01:11:03.680 --> 01:11:05.520
I'm not going to be fooled by that. Because it

852
01:11:05.560 --> 01:11:07.520
was dressed I thought it was actually a person. Up there,

853
01:11:08.119 --> 01:11:12.479
had a hat on and a basque. It was very strong. No,

854
01:11:12.520 --> 01:11:15.159
I left the basket one actually, but it was dressed

855
01:11:15.239 --> 01:11:17.279
up like a winner, like a wedding dress. It's like

856
01:11:17.560 --> 01:11:23.600
very strange, and I just thought, okay, no, the thing

857
01:11:23.680 --> 01:11:25.520
is I think it was stuck to the ceiling all

858
01:11:25.560 --> 01:11:28.079
it was like underneath a desk, and then it kind

859
01:11:28.079 --> 01:11:35.880
of made itself free somehow, and the it escaped and

860
01:11:36.119 --> 01:11:39.760
the air conditioning that blew it across the room, and

861
01:11:39.840 --> 01:11:43.600
suddenly I was seeing this thing waving at me and smiling.

862
01:11:48.720 --> 01:11:52.800
I had to call up my security did the office

863
01:11:52.920 --> 01:11:56.760
and tell him it was a false alarm, and they said,

864
01:11:56.760 --> 01:11:58.319
we'll call the police as well. We'll tell them as well.

865
01:11:58.359 --> 01:12:02.760
I said, okay, I well, I was scared, but that

866
01:12:02.880 --> 01:12:05.920
was a false alarm. As soon as I realized it

867
01:12:05.960 --> 01:12:15.159
was just a lovely friendly doll. And as soon as

868
01:12:15.199 --> 01:12:17.079
I took the clothes off, just because so it no

869
01:12:17.119 --> 01:12:22.239
longer looked like a human on a camera, I feart

870
01:12:22.239 --> 01:12:24.079
better just take it downstairs with me, and I put

871
01:12:24.079 --> 01:12:28.239
it in a toilet and that and just oh, maybe

872
01:12:28.279 --> 01:12:35.319
that's what blocked the toilet. Anyway, I was relaxed again,

873
01:12:35.479 --> 01:12:42.840
like instantly, it's weird, isn't it. So you can introduce

874
01:12:42.960 --> 01:12:48.119
positive imagery once you realize that it's just, you know,

875
01:12:48.279 --> 01:12:50.960
you might your brain. Your brain's just firing signals that

876
01:12:51.000 --> 01:12:58.079
aren't necessarily necessary, aren't necessarily necessary. That works, so you

877
01:12:58.119 --> 01:13:09.840
can visualize those physical sensations as something almost yeah like that,

878
01:13:11.600 --> 01:13:21.520
you know, just yeah yeah, or even pleasant. Ah, it

879
01:13:21.600 --> 01:13:26.680
could be an that's the pleasant sound, for instance, imagining

880
01:13:29.640 --> 01:13:32.800
being Some people like to imagine warm things or cold things,

881
01:13:33.279 --> 01:13:37.479
a glowing light, gentle wave, or maybe snow falling on you,

882
01:13:38.920 --> 01:13:50.560
and it helps in reducing the false threat perception in

883
01:13:50.600 --> 01:13:54.239
your brain that was associated with that physical sensation. It

884
01:13:54.520 --> 01:14:02.680
just reduces it. Another thing it says here is engage

885
01:14:02.760 --> 01:14:08.760
with your curiosity. But isn't that something we would do

886
01:14:08.800 --> 01:14:11.520
anyway at the start? You know, if you have a

887
01:14:11.560 --> 01:14:14.840
feeling that maybe you've not had before, or maybe you've

888
01:14:14.880 --> 01:14:19.319
not had it for a while, it's like curious, like, oh,

889
01:14:19.279 --> 01:14:25.279
I wonder what that is. Oh, that's an unusual feeling.

890
01:14:29.560 --> 01:14:34.079
I mean, I had I had a burger the other day,

891
01:14:34.079 --> 01:14:36.640
which i haven't had for a while, and the next

892
01:14:36.720 --> 01:14:44.479
day I've got this feeling tummy and it just didn't

893
01:14:44.920 --> 01:14:48.840
feel familiar to me. It's a real weird sort of feeling.

894
01:14:50.079 --> 01:14:54.840
And I realized that I needed a burgerpoo. It's like

895
01:14:55.640 --> 01:14:58.560
a real meaty, like the meat because I don't eat

896
01:14:58.640 --> 01:15:05.760
much meat hardly ever. And I'm like, wow. And I

897
01:15:05.760 --> 01:15:08.560
actually did block the toilet, but it's not really about that.

898
01:15:09.000 --> 01:15:10.960
I mean, it's the first time. It's not the first

899
01:15:11.000 --> 01:15:13.399
time I've ever done that. But I didn't block the

900
01:15:13.439 --> 01:15:18.560
toilet at that job. I didn't do a jobby at

901
01:15:18.560 --> 01:15:23.680
that job. So you can think of it curious in

902
01:15:23.720 --> 01:15:27.359
the sense of an interesting experience your body is presenting

903
01:15:29.880 --> 01:15:33.600
and not something to have any kind of negativity about.

904
01:15:34.279 --> 01:15:38.640
It's just a feeling. And when you know that that feeling,

905
01:15:40.760 --> 01:15:46.960
you don't need to have any kind of specific sensations

906
01:15:46.960 --> 01:15:50.920
in connection with that part of your body, not really.

907
01:15:55.760 --> 01:15:57.920
And it's something you can do. You can do this

908
01:15:58.760 --> 01:16:01.800
in a kind of a meditation Norway. I mean, there

909
01:16:01.920 --> 01:16:07.279
is that recording if you search for it, it's number

910
01:16:07.279 --> 01:16:11.159
thirty eight Semitic Track and Exercise Stress and Pain Relief

911
01:16:11.560 --> 01:16:15.760
Jason Land. Is it on I wonder if it's on YouTube.

912
01:16:15.800 --> 01:16:20.840
It might be you never know, Semitic. Yes it is.

913
01:16:21.079 --> 01:16:23.800
It's also on my YouTube channel as well, So thirty

914
01:16:23.840 --> 01:16:28.359
eight minutes thirty seconds long, and there's no waffling on

915
01:16:28.479 --> 01:16:34.479
like I do here. It's a very serious, very very serious.

916
01:16:37.880 --> 01:16:47.439
So yeah, it's I guess, changing how you feel, but

917
01:16:47.560 --> 01:16:53.079
allowing that change to happen, to occur naturally in its

918
01:16:53.079 --> 01:16:58.239
own time, without trying to force it, without anything, really,

919
01:16:58.359 --> 01:17:10.000
just allowing yourself to experience because you remember, I mean,

920
01:17:10.000 --> 01:17:13.560
it's worth remembering. It's true as well, we're always feeling different.

921
01:17:14.119 --> 01:17:17.680
The way we feel changes all the time. It may

922
01:17:17.720 --> 01:17:20.439
not be obvious, it may be very gradual, and may

923
01:17:20.439 --> 01:17:29.640
be very very minute changes. But you know, the way

924
01:17:29.640 --> 01:17:32.319
I'm feeling now compared to the way i'd feel if

925
01:17:32.800 --> 01:17:35.319
I heard someone shout my name in the garden, I'd

926
01:17:35.359 --> 01:17:40.680
feel different. I don't know. I might feel excited, probably not,

927
01:17:41.680 --> 01:17:45.600
but there'd be a different feeling. My mind would be

928
01:17:45.680 --> 01:17:51.279
distracted from doing this for an instant, or maybe it

929
01:17:51.359 --> 01:17:54.199
might be a few minutes. I'd forget all about this

930
01:17:56.079 --> 01:17:58.960
while I was sticking my head out the window shouting

931
01:17:59.119 --> 01:18:03.680
what do you want? I'm busy, Come down. I want

932
01:18:03.720 --> 01:18:05.800
to come down. You come up?

933
01:18:06.359 --> 01:18:07.279
What I want to come up?

934
01:18:07.399 --> 01:18:09.760
You come down? And you know that kind of conversation,

935
01:18:10.520 --> 01:18:13.039
an interesting kind of conversation that I like to have,

936
01:18:14.680 --> 01:18:18.920
and it would be I don't want to I don't

937
01:18:18.960 --> 01:18:23.239
want to come down. I got chocolate. Okay, I'm coming down.

938
01:18:25.680 --> 01:18:29.119
So it's worth remembering that the way we feel changes

939
01:18:29.159 --> 01:18:32.520
all the time. This is quite a good thing, I think.

940
01:18:34.560 --> 01:18:38.680
So that's the end of this recording. Thank you for listening.

941
01:18:38.760 --> 01:18:43.640
Remember to be kind to yourself because you do deserve

942
01:18:43.720 --> 01:18:50.399
to be happy. Be gentle with yourself. You deserve to

943
01:18:50.439 --> 01:18:58.560
feel safe. Lots of love. Bye,
