Marianna Trezza -The Growing mindset
Counsellor/Therapist, MA (Hons), Adv Dip. Counsel. & Psychoth.,Dip. Hypnoth., X-Cultural Adaptation Coun. Reg. BACP 572613
Living with chronic pain or illness can indeed be a lonely and isolating experience. As time passes, you may find fewer people willing to listen to your struggles, leaving you feeling unseen and misunderstood. This isolation can compound the challenges you're already facing.
Chronic pain and illness can affect your life in many ways:
Feelings of loneliness and isolation
Difficulty maintaining relationships
Frustration when others don't understand your experience
Anxiety and depression related to your condition
Challenges in communicating your needs effectively
It's important to remember that your feelings are valid, and there are ways to cope and find support:
Seek empathetic listening: Having someone who truly listens without judgment can be incredibly healing1.
Join support groups: Connecting with others who share similar experiences can provide validation and practical advice3.
Communicate your needs: Learn to express what you need clearly to friends, family, and healthcare providers4.
Practice self-care: Engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation, even if they're small6.
Consider professional help: Therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), can help you develop coping strategies and improve your emotional outlook7.
Remember, it's okay to have difficult emotions about your condition. By working together, we can explore ways to empower you, helping you express your needs more effectively and find strategies to cope with the challenges of chronic pain or illness. My role is to provide that empathetic, non-judgmental ear you need, and to help you navigate this journey towards better emotional and physical well-being.

Kyle Davies
Psychologist, BSc MPhil CPsychol AFBPsS
Over the last 20 years I have worked extensively with sufferers of chronic fatigue and pain conditions such as ME, CFS, Adrenal Fatigue, Post-Viral Fatigue and fibromyalgia.
Leading edge scientific evidence suggests that symptoms of these conditions result from changes, irregularities or dysfunctions within the mid-brain and limbic-hypothalamic-pituitary system.
In academic terms this is known as the HPA axis, and is made up of the hypothalamus gland, located at the base of the brain; the pituitary gland, also located in the brain; and the adrenal glands, located on top of the kidneys. The hypothalamus links the nervous system and the endocrine system, it stimulates the pituitary gland to produce hormones and the adrenal gland to produce cortisol and epinephrine (commonly known as adrenaline).
The HPA axis is a major part of the neuroendocrine system that controls and regulates almost everything to do with human survival, including digestion and appetite, sleep cycles, the immune system, mood and emotions, sexual behaviour, body temperature, energy storage and expenditure. It also communicates with several regions of the brain, including the amygdala, which generates fear in response to danger, and with the hippocampus, which plays an important part in memory formation as well as in mood and motivation. In addition, the HPA axis forms part of a complex feedback system that is constantly responding to the environment both internally and externally. In response to the information it receives, the HPA axis regulates and controls the chemicals and hormones that affect body systems.
So what we can begin to see is that when irregularities are evident in these brain regions it wreaks havoc throughout the entire body – and this results in the experience of symptoms from mild to severe.
In order to recover from chronic fatigue and pain symptoms we need to understand and address the CAUSE of the irregularities within the HPA axis and mid-brain structures.
The first step in this process is to fully embrace the mind-body paradigm where we move away from the notion of the head and body, or psychological and physical, as being separate entities, rather we see them as one flowing interconnected system.
The next step is to redefine the nature of emotion, an energy in motion, and it’s role as a feedback mechanism within body and brain. As a complex physiological process, the emotional system directly modulates brain function. Blockages within the emotional system and the emotional memory system are coded within the mid brain structures. It is these blockages that result in hypothalamic and other mid brain irregularities and dysfunction.
My treatment protocol is underpinned by this new theoretical framework and understanding of the emotional system and it’s role, function and impact on the immune, endocrine and autonomic nervous systems via the HPA axis. The process involves implementing a series of tools and techniques that are designed to identify and unblock the emotional system and recode emotional memory.
Energy-Flow Coaching™ deals directly with the cause of symptoms and gives you the knowledge and guidance you need to take charge of your recovery and attain health and vitality.
