We demonstrated the use of what I call mind mapping with the various voices we hear inside our minds. This technique works for everyone, voice hearers or not, for we all hear talk inside our heads, the question being where we think it's coming from.

What saddens me is that all of these advances are heavily biological and that biological medicine hasn't really succeeded very well in improving our mental health. While these advances are very interesting, I argue that what we need is more understanding of how our social relationships form our brains and behavior. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Pain-Part-2-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-121210-694.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Pain-Part-2-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-121210-694.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona I continue to reflect upon chronic pain, beginning with some comments from my colleague, Peter Blum, who is a hypnotherapist and all around healer-guy in Woodstock, NY, and then leading into some brain science that shows that our brains are changed by the experience of pain and begin to link all kinds of unrelated experiences to that pain so that pain becomes multiply determined by more than just the sensations. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Chronic-Pain-and-Opiates-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-121203-603.html Tue, 14 Aug 3004 13:54:55 -0400 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Chronic-Pain-and-Opiates-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-121203-603.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona I describe my struggle with prescribing opiates for people in chronic pain. My observation has been that my patients on opiates don't seem to be in any less pain than my patients not on opiates, and sometimes they are more grumpy. I explore the literature and learn that prolonged opiate use sensitizes people to feel more pain and that it can also act as a neurotoxin producing neuropathic-like pain, so perhaps not a good idea https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Health-Care-and-Alternativ-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-100314-547.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Health-Care-and-Alternativ-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-100314-547.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona I recently had the opportunity to speak at a conference in Paris, France.

Health behavior is not rational, but is guided by stories that people have about how life should be lived. Many times they do not realize what these stories are, since they are from their earlier years and are so ingrained as to be outside awareness. I show how changing story allows people to change diet. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Narrativizing-is-the-first-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-110317-370.html Mon, 14 Aug 2456 13:00:42 -0400 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Narrativizing-is-the-first-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-110317-370.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona On Day 8, we asked how do we transform health care to become more indigenous friendly, whether it's mental health care of general medical care. The answer that jumped out was to implement narrative practice. Indigenous cultures are virtually uniformly cultures of story in which stories matter greatly. Being heard means having the opportunity to tell one's stories. "Treatment" begins by hearing and acknowledging stories. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-Inevitability-of-Heali-by-Judith-Acosta-100709-776.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-Inevitability-of-Heali-by-Judith-Acosta-100709-776.html Judith Acosta What this means is that the images we hold in our minds, the beliefs we store in the deepest part of ourselves impact the way we heal in an immediate and palpable manner, not only on how we feel emotionally, but on how our cells behave, whether they adapt and grow or become inflexible and decay. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Beyond-Narrative-Therapy--by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-110321-620.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Beyond-Narrative-Therapy--by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-110321-620.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona On Day 11, we engaged in dialogue about the narrative therapy of Michael White, which is what most people in Australia and the United States index, when we say narrative practices, and the narrative practices of indigenous people.

Where there is faith, the feeling is positive and this helps the body's built-in mechanisms of healing.

When people are filled with negative stories about being inferior and worthy of humiliation and contempt, they respond accordingly often with substance misuse and violence. The traditional cultural stories of all of our peoples are antidotes to this negativity. By immersing ourselves in our cultural stories, we can turn victimization into recovery and transformation. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Narrative-Concepts-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-120520-320.html Fri, 14 Aug 1103 13:37:56 -0456 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Narrative-Concepts-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-120520-320.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona I attempt to say what a narrative is. It is a telling of something to someone by someone. It may reflect the basic means by which our brains work, the result of a co-evolution of brain and story to allow us to recall the myriad of details necessary for negotiating a social life with the 500 people whom we are capable of knowing. Its shortest form consists of two action clauses that can be sequenced and one orienting clause. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Day-5-of-Australia-2013-I-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-130312-756.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Day-5-of-Australia-2013-I-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-130312-756.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona This third day of our presentations on North American energy medicine was all about energy. We practiced how to move energy through hands on the body, hands above the body, feather fanning, sucking, blowing smoke, drumming, rattling, placing rocks and crystals, and more. We had lunch and then we began our healing free for all. Rocky taught everyone a chant that we sang for three hours. All 49 people got doctored. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Oral-Pharyngeal-Dysphagia-by-Maggie-Lee-Huckabe-091023-368.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Oral-Pharyngeal-Dysphagia-by-Maggie-Lee-Huckabe-091023-368.html Maggie Lee Huckabee, M.A., CCC/SLP EMG biofeedback presents auditory and visual signals to aid the patient in learning and practicing dysphagia intervention exercise.

Most of us were not raised with these ideas and some of them may feel awkward or even seem unnecessary, especially if we ourselves were dismissed when we were afraid or hurt. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Approaches-to-Trauma-in-th-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-110319-476.html Tue, 14 Aug 4734 13:00:52 -0400 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Approaches-to-Trauma-in-th-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-110319-476.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona Today is Day 10 of the Australian Cross-Cultural Mental Health Journey. Today we talked about trauma in aboriginal communities and how to address that trauma. We collaboratively arrived at some ideas to propose. We agreed that narrativizing is necessary. We need to hear the stories of woundedness that people have to tell and to celebrate their resistance to abuse and to focus more on the resistance than on being a victim. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Sweat-Lodge-Prayer-and-C-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-110222-672.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Sweat-Lodge-Prayer-and-C-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-110222-672.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona Prayer and community have been stripped away from contemporary health care. Both are sorely needed. I talk about the sweat lodge ceremony as being a laboratory for exposing mainstream healthcare practitioners to the perspective on health and the world of Native American people and show how it produces the kind of connectedness and sense of belonging that we desperately need and which is associated with greater health.
