   Chronic Pain and the Nervous System: The Pressure to Heal

   Could trying harder to feel better become another source of stress? Explore chronic pain and the nervous system with Mitch Webb and Dr. Tovah Goldfine, including fear, self-compassion, and the pressure to heal. In this episode of Rooted Conversations, Mitch welcomes Dr. Tovah Goldfine for an honest conversation about persistent symptoms, emotional patterns, and the mind body connection. Tovah shares how childhood trauma and the grief of watching her mother live with multiple sclerosis shaped her interest in helping others. Together, they explore the fear pain cycle, nervous system regulation, and the difference between intellectually understanding safety and experiencing it in the body. Mitch reflects on his own tendency to turn recovery into a demanding project, including waiting to feel better before enjoying meaningful parts of his life. The conversation also examines perfectionism, emotional awareness, pain reprocessing therapy, and a question many people face: when are we supporting our bodies, and when are we adding pressure to fix ourselves? Throughout, they discuss individual experiences and perspectives on approaching symptoms with greater compassion, flexibility, and curiosity.
