Oh No! How Catastrophizing Is Keeping You in Pain and Symptoms

Welcome to another Saturday Q&A. Today I'm talking about catastrophizing language and how it keeps you in chronic pain and symptoms.
Catastrophizing is a common cognitive bias and behavior that sets a person up to develop chronic pain and/or chronic functional symptoms.
A viewer used some very strong catastrophizing language, so let's learn together how to recognize it and how to grow beyond it.

Thank you for your work, so helpful. I recently heard that emotion attached to thought develops into belief. Interesting. Well, if we look at what is going on in catastrophizing then we are cementing our belief systems into our brain. During catastrophizing think how intensely thoughts and emotions are colliding with each other. Could we be forming beliefs on hyper-drive during a rant session? Those few moments of choosing quiet acknowledgement of emotion, slow breathing and trust in God are more life changing than many can see, especially when compared to the train wreck that catstrophizing produces. Thanks and God bless.

Hello, You said that perfectly. And you make a good point, when thought is paired with strong emotions, we really cement the belief into our systems. Thank you for your kind note, and thank you for being here.
