    2nd Interview with Dr. John Stracks

    BEING YOUR OWN ADVOCATE

    Sept. 2023: I talk with Dr. Stracks about my 17th surgery and discovering the power of using my own agency, speaking up, and being my own advocate.

  • KEY TAKEAWAYS:


    Chronic pain is neither all structural or all neuroplastic. This false binary mistakenly directs people to either a medical intervention or a mindbody approach. Many of us require multiple treatment modalities for healing - and that’s OK.

    Reclaim your agency & self trust. Agency is about building self-trust, using your voice, and taking the next step that is right for you, no matter what else is happening.

    Healing is a social process. Find people who ‘get' it’ and who can validate and encourage you. Chronic illness often creates social isolation. We can only heal those wounds by healing together.

  • “This was such a great conversation. So informative and so inspiring. It really resonated with me. Particularly the whole notion of just putting aside the question of structural issues and just doing the work. It makes so much sense. Thank you so much” — @RickRowan
