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's episode is a powerful one.

We're diving deep into the role of shame, how it forms, how it hides, and how it quietly

drives so many of the chronic symptoms people struggle with.

My guest today is someone I deeply respect, not just for her clinical insight, but for the honesty

and heart she brings to this work.

Together, we'll unpack the difference between acute and chronic shame, how shame is shaped

by culture and community, and why so many people suffering from chronic pain and

illness carry shame they don't even realize is there. If you've ever felt like you are doing it

wrong, if you've ever blamed yourself for not getting better fast enough, or if you've

ever hidden your symptoms out of fear of being judged, this episode is for you. But before we dive in, I'll remind us that

this podcast is brought to you by Curable, a very different approach to healing chronic pain

and symptoms. Curable is an online program and guided app that focuses on the psychology of pain,

teaching you how to find permanent relief and reclaim your life.

Curable helps you understand why you have pain, shows you it's possible to recover, and leads

you through science-back strategies that help you heal. If you've tried it all and the pain remains,

join more than a million people who have used curable to heal their symptoms, and

get started for free today.

Now, for our guest, we are in for a treat.

We are joined by psychotherapist and all-star human Nikki Cameron.
