S7E5 Reprogramming Pain: A Conversation with Hypnotherapist Sarah Michelle

Author: Wes Coons April 3, 2026 Duration: 40:20
Healing Chronic Pain with Hypnosis: Reprogramming the Brain with Sarah Michelle
 
 
Host Wes Coons opens with affirmations and introduces hypnotherapist and nutritional practitioner Sarah Michelle, who specializes in relieving chronic pain. Sarah explains that after roughly 12 weeks, pain can become a learned brain signal reinforced by hypervigilance, fear of movement, and physiological changes like reduced oxygen to an area; hypnosis helps reprogram these patterns without dismissing pain as "not real." She contrasts stage hypnosis with therapeutic work and describes hypnosis as a focused, relaxed state similar to being absorbed in a movie, often requiring multiple sessions to uncover deeper beliefs; she also uses Integral Eye Movement Therapy to reduce emotional charge in memories. They discuss identity around symptoms, authority effects from medical diagnoses, emotional roots of pain, and Wes shares healing experiences (including cord-cutting and past-life regression). Sarah offers virtual/in-person sessions in Virginia Beach and promotes her six-week "H and Pain" group starting April 23 with an "in light" $100 discount code.

Wes Coons hosts Enlightenment Unknown-Life of A Spiritual Nomad, a space where personal history and spiritual inquiry collide. This isn't a theoretical discussion, but a raw, firsthand account. At its core, the podcast chronicles Wes's own journey through a deeply traumatic experience involving a haunted house, an event that paradoxically became the catalyst for a profound spiritual awakening. You'll hear that story unfold across episodes, told with vivid detail and unflinching honesty. The conversations that stem from this narrative are introspective and meandering, often touching on themes of hope, healing, and the practical, sometimes messy work of learning to truly love oneself. It feels less like a lecture and more like listening in on a thoughtful, ongoing dialogue where life's fractures are examined not as endpoints, but as potential beginnings. By weaving personal storytelling with broader discussions on spirituality and self-improvement, this podcast offers a unique blueprint-not a rigid map, but a set of insights drawn from real life. It’s for anyone who suspects that growth often emerges from the most unexpected and challenging places, and who appreciates a guide who speaks from lived experience rather than abstract doctrine. Tune in for a candid exploration of what it means to navigate the unknown territories of both the external world and the inner self.
