How hyper-vigilance on Tehran streets created back pain in California

It's too long. 

Too different. 

Too uncomfortable. 

It involves a little girl. A regime. A nervous system that never learned to stop running. 

I don't expect many people to read this. But if you do, it may relieve your chronic pain symptoms for good.

Picture this:

You are a little girl growing up under the Iranian regime.

You wake up, and before you walk to school, your mother has to inspect your clothing. If you don't wear a hijab, if your clothing is too loose, open, or shows too much skin…

You will be arrested.

Why?

Iran's age of criminal responsibility for girls is 9 lunar years (around 8.7 years old).

As you walk to school, you breathe shallow on high alert. 

Your body learns to be vigilant:

• Tightened shoulder muscles 

• Clamped jaws on bus rides 

• And widened eyes to constantly survey your surroundings for danger.

There are cameras hidden under every street light. There are undercover morality police surveying for infractions. The morality police carry weapons under their civilian disguises. One wrong move, even as an 8-year-old, meant arrest, fines, or worse.

This fear of punishment touches every aspect of a girl's and woman's life.

I'm telling you this, because I was a girl who grew up in the Iranian regime.

I was a girl who was afraid to walk outside for years, with the streets stealing my freedom.

Until my family emigrated to America.

Where I was free to walk, talk, and dress however I wanted.

Or so I thought…

Because my body still held me prisoner.

Let me explain…

During the years growing up under the Iranian regime, my body learned to be hypervigilant. I still lived in an extreme state of alert, and scanned my surroundings for potential threats, even when there's no danger.

My nervous system learned: 

Visibility = Risk.

And this programming didn't just live in my mind. This programming lived in my muscles, my spine, and my breath.

And it only got worse…

While I was hiking, I fell from a cliff, about 10' and landed on my back. At first, I felt fine and walked home. Almost like nothing had happened.

But the pain revealed itself, and became chronic a few weeks later.

I went to the doctors where I got MRI scans. I worried I broke my back, and the doctors kept saying my scans were fine. There's no damage.

Yet, the pain only got worse.

Where one of the doctors told me "the pain might be in your head."

Though the doctor meant well, it felt like verbal abuse.

Honestly, I felt like a 70-year-old trapped in a young woman's body.

I was so desperate for a solution… 

I spent $12,000+ seeing the best chiropractor in California. I tried every diet you could imagine like raw diets, vegan diets…

Sure these solutions offered temporary relief…

…But the pain always slowly came crawling back.

I was forced to ask a different question:

What if my back pain wasn't coming from my back at all?

My childhood trauma wired my brain to keep my body in a constant state of threat. Years of hypervigilance had locked my body in permanent fight-or-flight mode.

When I fell from that cliff, my brain didn't just register a physical injury. My brain registered another threat.

And the MRIs?

The MRIs showed no damage because there wasn't structural damage. But my brain had learned to create pain as a defense mechanism.

I realized I didn't need to fix my back. I needed to regulate my nervous system.

So I developed a brain based protocol that retrains the nervous system, teaching it that it's safe, that visibility is no longer a risk, and that the body can let go of decades of stored protection patterns.

This protocol addresses the trauma patterns stored in my nervous system (the learned pain and chronic tension from years of hyper-vigilance).

Within weeks of applying this approach, my chronic pain began to dissolve. Then it disappeared forever.

Because this protocol addresses the root cause of the pain:

Trauma patterns stored in my nervous system.

If you're suffering from chronic pain, fatigue, digestive issues, or mysterious symptoms that doctors can't explain with tests and scans...

Then your body may be holding onto threats that no longer exist.

But your brain is capable of changing and unlearning these patterns at any age (even if you feel like you tried everything).
