Читать книгу The Bellator Instinct: Reclaiming Your Life From Chronic Pain - Артем Тюльников - Страница 7

Let's understand this clearly: neuroplastic pain is a false alarm. It’s a mix-up. Your nervous system gets confused and starts interpreting safe, normal signals as if they were dangerous threats. The real power lies in how you react to that alarm.

When you respond to pain with fear or panic, you’re essentially telling your brain, "You were right to sound the alarm! This is dangerous!" That reaction strengthens the pain pathway. But you have another choice. You can learn to respond differently, with less fear. You can teach your brain that it’s safe.

Think of it like a toddler learning to walk. When he takes a little tumble, he looks up immediately to see your reaction. If you rush over, frantic and worried, he’ll likely burst into tears, convinced something is terribly wrong. But if you stay calm, smile, and say something like, "Oopsie-daisy! You’re okay," he’ll often just get right back up and keep going.

Your nervous system works the same way. It’s always looking to you for cues on how to react. The more intense your fear and focus on the pain, the louder and more persistent the alarm becomes. Your calmness is the signal it needs to stand down.
