From Ultra Marathons to Chronic Pain: How You Can Live Freely With Pain With Dr. Christiane Wolf

Published on: 23rd May, 2022

Do you struggle with chronic pain in your body? Are you searching for an alternative approach to pain rather than running from it or struggling with it? In this episode of “Your Life in Process,” Diana discusses mindfulness-based approaches to pain with internationally known mindfulness teacher, Dr. Christiane Wolf.

A NOTE ON THE SOUND QUALITY: I wanted to let you know that this episode has some poor audio quality on my part. I was playing around with the knobs before I recorded and ended up getting a fuzzy version of me throughout. I hope that you will give me some grace on that. Because I love the organic conversation back and forth with Christiane and myself. So focus your attention on that and allow for a little bit of imperfection. That's what we need to all do for each other.

    Diana Hill

    Dr. Diana Hill, PhD is a clinical psychologist, executive consultant, and international trainer who helps leaders and teams navigate complexity without precedent. Her Wise Effort Method addresses a problem most high performers recognize immediately: the drive that got them here is now working against them. A leading voice in the evolution of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, she co-leads ACT BootCamp with ACT founder Dr. Steven Hayes, trains the trainers, and serves as an instructor for the University of California's Climate Resilience Initiative. She has led executive retreats and intensives for leadership teams including Deckers Brands, Lightfully Behavioral Health, and YPO. Diana is the author of Wise Effort: How to Focus Your Genius Energy on What Matters Most and three other books, hosts the Wise Effort podcast, and has been featured on NPR, CNN, and The Wall Street Journal. With over 20 years of yoga and meditation practice, she teaches from embodied experience rather than theory alone — her sessions are experiential and transformational.
