Last to Show First to GO!

The sudden arrival of pain into your life doesn’t mean you have cancel the party.
Dr. Sue Aery
You’ve spent weeks preparing for a party – invitations, menus, drinks, music.
The day arrives and all your guests begin to appear. You are having a great time until, two hours later, the doorbell rings and that last guest shows up, raring to go. The party had been going along just fine and then everything came to a halt because of this interruption – all conversation stopped, the music didn’t seem right anymore, the food was mostly gone.
Pain can be just like that late arrival guest – the last to show up, even though you’ve been getting to that point for quite some time. Your pain threshold is your own – we each have a unique point at which pain appears and is debilitating as opposed to just being a nagging nuisance you hope will leave at some point.
You seek help, finally. Hopefully, you try a natural solution to see what can help, but at that point, there’s no magic healing wand to make Pain go away.
Or is there? The same unconscious awareness that kept Pain at bay, kept it seeming like a late arrival guest, is the same awareness that, as healing begins and Pain lessens, lets Pain be the first to go.
You breathe a sigh of relief that you can get back to your other guests – your normal life – but guess what?
The healing isn’t completed yet. One visit to my office or one massage or one effort at some type of relief does not equate to allowing the full healing process to happen.
Allowing your body to fully heal, even after PAIN has left your conscious awareness, is the best way to prevent future injuries and the best way to ensure that the rest of the party isn’t ruined. We see Pain in my office all the time and we are glad to help escort it out of your awareness for being too rowdy and interfering with your party – but, we want to get you all the way healed as much as possible – so stick around even after Pain is gone. You can be the life of the party by being the “last to leave.”
Fully understanding the personality of Pain is the key to your healing success and being the life of the party and the last to leave!
