In this ‘Greatest Hits’ episode of Getting to Aha!, host Darshan Mehta is joined by Shalini Joshi Yamdagni, Chronic Pain Relief Expert at EFT Thailand. Join them as they explore helping people with chronic pain find relief through alternative approaches, the power of emotions in influencing physical wellbeing, and the use of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to address the root causes of pain.

Shalini is an international expert in pain relief and bestselling author of the book, Instant Pain Relief. She actively helps people living with chronic pain who are frustrated with the medical system but are open and willing to alternative approaches.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

👉 Shalini grew up in a small town in the Himalayan foothills, attending boarding school far from her parents’ home in Bangkok. When she could attend an international school, she studied in Bangkok. Then, she studied psychology and social work at university in India. Her first jobs were in psychology and social work, and she was actively chasing more money, even if the roles were not fulfilling. At age 38, feeling very dissatisfied with her life, Shalini started to experience extreme rib pain and was diagnosed with costochondritis. Although she was told she would feel better within a week of taking painkillers, the pain didn’t stop, only getting worse when stronger medication was used. She bought all sorts of therapeutic devices to relieve the pain, but nothing was helping, and her medical team was stumped. Her friend convinced her to attend a self-awareness seminar, which proved to be life-changing for her. The host recommended she try Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), which instantly relieved her pain.

👉 In her practices, Shalini has seen instances where EFT is unsuccessful. She shares a story of a man who was brought in by his wife after suffering from breathing issues and pain for years. For every question Shalini asked, he had a way out, avoiding getting to the root cause of his issues. His wife got back in touch with Shalini, explaining that the issues started after he and his brother had a huge financial loss in their business, causing his name to be tarnished in the community. Since then, any time he stepped into the office, he would experience migraines and breathing problems. Shalini explains that his subconscious mind was protecting him from the trauma, causing pain when he went to the office. Shalini likens it to self-sabotage and explains that a mindset shift can alter patient outcomes with the simple question: What is the upside of staying in pain?

👉Today, people often complain about lower back pain, attributing it to sitting at a desk all day or carrying heavy bags. Shalini points out that most of us sit at desks all day, but not everyone has pain. Over her career in EFT, she has had many aha moments on the different aches and pains across the body. She has discovered that pain in your back is rooted in support issues. When you have lower back pain, you should ask yourself, “Where in my life do I feel like I lack support?” She explains how one particular client had lower back pain, and when she asked about the lack of support in his life, he explained he had always felt like it since his dad died when he was only ten years old. At age ten, he was made to be the “man of the house,” locking him into pain patterns for the rest of his life. Shalini and EFT were able to help him through the pain, unlocking the deeper root issues.
