Welcome back to another episode of Like Mind, Like Body, where we explore healing from chronic pain,

symptoms and conditions using a mind-body approach.

I'm Christy Weepy, psychotherapist, and founder of The Better Mind Center, where our team treats chronic symptoms one-on-one.

Today, we are widening the lens on recovery and healing.

So often, the mind-body conversation focuses on symptoms that can be reversed or even cured.

And while that's a powerful part of the story, it doesn't include everyone.

Many people in our community live with chronic illnesses or lifelong conditions that don't have a cure.

And yet, they still deserve access to the tools, principles, and practices that support nervous system regulation, resilience,

and quality of life. In this episode, we'll explore how mind-body principles can serve all of us,

not just those whose symptoms resolve completely. We'll talk about what it means to expand the

umbrella of this work, to build a more inclusive space, and to invite in folks who may have felt left out of the mind-body community.

Our guest brings a deeply personal and powerful perspective on this, and I can't wait for you to hear our conversation.

Before I introduced our guest, a reminder that this podcast is brought
