What to say when someone tells you, "It's all in your head."

Unfortunately, when you've lived in pain for long enough, you've heard this at some point from someone close to you—a parent, a spouse, a sibling, a friend... I couldn't count how many people have heard this.

There are a few reasons why someone would say such a thing:

They mean well, but are ignorant

They fashion themselves a medical expert, courtesy of Dr. Google

They want to be hurtful to you or lack empathy / EQ

Arguing or trying to explain why they're wrong never seems to go anywhere, so is there anything you can say that might actually work?

Yes — sometimes.

Here's a really simple technique I've been using for years that can seriously help. When someone tells you "your pain is all in your head", try responding:

"What makes you say that?"

How they answer is going to reveal a lot.

The common theme is that there is no point trying to convince anyone to see your point of view. People are not convinced by other people — they can only convince themselves.

Try asking questions to allow them to work out the flaws in their own logic. If they decide to make the shift to start changing their own mind, you'll know. A change will occur when they begin asking you questions to try to understand better. That's how you'll know if they actually care.

And of course, there will always be those who are completely closed-minded and unwilling to accept when they're wrong. This method weeds them out quickly so that you don't have to waste your emotional energy going up against idiots.

A Day in the Life of a Home Caregiver; Amina of Eldo Homecare.

In Eldoret, where dawn kisses the hills, Amina starts her day. She wears her uniform like a badge of honor. Her mission? To heal and to help.

First stop: Mr. Kamau. He’s recovering from hip surgery. Amina’s smile is his morning sun. She guides him through physiotherapy. “You’re doing great, Mr. Kamau! Soon, you’ll be dancing,” she quips, her voice a melody of encouragement.

Next, she visits Mrs. Wanjiku. A new mother, she’s a postpartum recovery wave navigator. Amina’s touch is gentle, her heart full. She provides midwifery support, ensuring mother and baby thrive. “You’re an amazing mother, Mrs. Wanjiku. Your strength is inspiring,” Amina says, leaving behind a trail of calm.

The day unfolds. Amina’s journey is moreso of empathy; care her and there. She manages chronic pain for Mr. Otieno, ensuring his medication is spot on. “Remember, Mr. Otieno, small steps lead to big improvements,” she advises, her words a balm.

Evening falls. Amina returns home, tired but triumphant. Her work? A lifeline for many. Reflecting on her day, she feels gratitude. She serves her community, one patient at a time.

Interacting with doctors can be frustrating and intimidating—but it doesn't have to be.

If you are reading this, then you deserve the best possible care that any doctor you see has to offer. You deserve to be believed and treated with respect.

When a doctor doesn't believe a patient, it usually comes down to one of the following reasons:

They don't have enough information to make sense of what's going on (doctors love data because it helps them figure out the right answers).

They are overwhelmed by a patient's emotional state (this applies more in a routine than emergency care setting—routine care doctors are not "battle trained" like emergency care ones).

They feel that the patient is being argumentative.

They feel that the patient is being deceptive or non-compliant in their treatment.

Fortunately, all of these reasons are avoidable.

Here is my short guide on interacting with doctors to create a collaborative treatment experience—one in which you feel understood and are well served by your doctor.

Please feel free to chime in with your thoughts or other tips that have worked well for you.

Salt and processed food increases risk of chronic conditions mainly due to inflammatory injuries to our cells—tissue—organs—body.

But what is done is done can't be dwelt on, other than doing something about it. If you have acquired chronic condition/s the process can be reversed by changing dietary intake, physical activity and exercise.
