Many people experience more pain when it gets colder.

It’s got colder.

It’s a very real experience.

It’s part of the way that your body is encouraging you to look after yourself.

To keep warm.

To self-care.

“𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝗱𝗱𝗵𝗮’𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴.”
~ 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗡𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗵

The Four Noble Truths offer profound insight for anyone in pain.
Whether or not you follow Buddhist philosophy, their clarity and compassion are universal.

I’ve studied Buddhist psychology since I was 18.
It’s deeply shaped how I guide people through suffering—not just to cope, but to transform.

📿 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵𝘀

1. There is suffering to acknowledge.

2. There is an origin, a cause, a pattern.

3. There is the cessation of suffering—by refraining from doing what creates it.

4. There is a path—a way forward (the Eightfold Path).

You’ll notice:

→ There is pain.
→ There are causes and catalysts (and they’re not the same).
→ Pain can transform.
→ A path forward can be created—with care, collaboration, and curiosity.

Live yourself better.

The words I use that underpin our work together.

If you wait for your pain to get better to start living, you wait and wait.

Just as you would wait to quench your thirst by watching a glass of water.

Instead, you live yourself better.

You transform your life to transform your pain.

The true causes of your pain reside within your body systems and how they have learned to protect you.

This is what we address together.

From—
the heart of the buddha’s teachings.

Interbeing.

When you come to know interbeing, much worry and concern just drops away.

Blissful states become apparent.

They were already there for you.

𝗗𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙨 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻?

It might seem subtle.
But this distinction can change how you understand your pain — and how you move forward.

Catalysts (or triggers) are what bring pain to the surface:
• a movement
• an injury
• a thought

They’re the spark. ⚡️

Causes, on the other hand, live deeper:
• within your body systems
• in protective patterns you’ve learned over time
• shaped by your experiences, beliefs, expectations, and even genetics

They’re the structure — the forest, not the fire. 🌳🔥

Often, we chase the trigger (“what set it off”) and miss the terrain (“what’s really going on”).

When you start to understand the true causes of your pain — the deeper reasons your systems are protecting you — things begin to make sense.

That’s when change can happen.

It doesn’t start with fighting pain.
It starts with understanding it.
With curiosity.
With compassion.
With reconnecting to what matters most to you.

You transform your life to transform your pain.
And that begins with seeing pain for what it really is — your body and mind asking for change.
