Healing Real and Emotional (TMS) Injuries with PJ Glassey #147

Author: Sarah Dawkins - Root Cause Healing and Natural Holistic Health Coach November 13, 2025 Duration: 42:44

Have you ever felt trapped by chronic pain with no clear physical cause?


What if the key to healing wasn't in a pill, but locked within your mind?


In this episode, I sit down with exercise science expert PJ Glassey, to explore the incredible world of mind-body healing. PJ shares his journey of overcoming debilitating back pain and a severe fractured collar bone, by harnessing the principles of brain rewiring, neuroplasticity and the ground-breaking work of Dr. John Sarno on TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome).

19:51 - Heal Faster Than Expected: PJ receives a nine-month recovery prognosis for his broken clavicle and decides to challenge it, setting his own expectation to heal faster.


33:35 - Simple Brain Rewiring Techniques: PJ explains how to use EFT (tapping) as a shortcut to distinguish between emotional and physical pain.


37:10 - Communicate with Your Subconscious: PJ shares his simple technique of talking to his subconscious mind (who he calls "Timmy") as a loving parent to release pain.


38:08 - The Power of Belief: When asked for his single most important tip, PJ explains why belief and expectation are the keys to unlocking your body's ability to heal.


40:33 - Overcoming the Nocebo Effect: PJ discusses how negative medical prognoses can become self-fulfilling prophecies and why it's crucial to take back your power.


PJ's bio

PJ started personal training in 1987 and successfully grew his business over the following 11 years, training clients in their homes and at local area gyms. With the help of these clients as test subjects, and armed with his degree in Exercise Science, PJ invented his “multi-protocol” concept and refined it through 1998, when he founded the X Gym. He is also the author of the book "Cracking Your Calorie Code" and the inventor of his Brain Type Test, which helps people achieve health and fitness results much faster through specific brain wiring techniques tailored to their unique brain type. PJ’s extensive research into brain science to develop his brain rewiring techniques also helped him through his own healing experiences, which could have been permanently disabling, had he not gone on this personal research and discovery path.

Hosted by integrative health practitioner Sarah Dawkins, Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers is for anyone who senses there's more to their wellbeing than standard diagnoses and treatments. This podcast digs into the often-overlooked connections between our emotional histories, nervous system states, and physical health. Rather than offering another set of tips for managing symptoms, conversations here explore how unresolved trauma can manifest as chronic pain, what true nervous system regulation feels like, and practical ways to engage the body's own wisdom for healing. You'll find a focus on somatic practices and the underlying principles of natural recovery, all aimed at moving past simply coping and towards reclaiming a genuine sense of vitality. It’s a space for those ready to look deeper, questioning the root causes of imbalance and discovering a more integrated path to lasting wellness. Each episode builds on the idea that you are not just a patient to be managed, but an active participant in your own healing journey. Tune in for thoughtful, grounded discussions that bridge the gap between mind and body, offering a compassionate and insightful companion for your personal health exploration.
