Blog

Welcome to my blog. Each text is an invitation to pause for a moment and listen to what wants to be revealed. I write about pain therapy and holistic healing, about energy work and the subtle way hypnosis unfolds in the background – quiet, unassuming, and yet present everywhere. Even if you believe yourself untouched by it. It is about encounters with the body, with challenges, with hidden programs and with perspectives that have remained unseen until now.

The energy of words can open spaces where you may recognize yourself – sometimes in a detail, sometimes in reflections, scientific insights, or within a whole story. Everything that arises here is meant to accompany you, in the way that feels true for you.

Physical Symptoms as an Expression of Deeper Protective Processes

In the last blog at the end of May , I explored pain beyond the visible place where it appears. I wrote about how the body often reveals more than what can be recognized at first glance. This is exactly where, for me, the next layer begins to open. Physical symptoms can be an expression of deeper protective processes. They rarely arise suddenly. Much more often, they reveal something that has already been working, carrying, binding, or balancing within for a long time. For me

The projection of images through pain

Maybe you know this: pain rarely feels “only physical.” It leaves tracks in your thinking. It slips into your decisions. And sometimes it becomes an inner film that is already running before the day has truly begun. If you landed here, you likely carry a lot already. Maybe also many sentences from professionals. Many explanations. Many attempts. I want to see you here first, before I sort anything. And I want to say this: it makes sense if your system has become cautious. Per

When the Exceptional Becomes Familiar – How the Nervous System Stores Force

When the exceptional becomes familiar, it can sound gentle. In this story, familiarity grows through repetition, and repetition grows through being directed from the outside. You are in rooms that function the same way again and again. You are positioned, washed, treated, soothed. You hear sentences that promise safety while the body already registers: consent carries little weight here. Care is present in the room, and alongside it stands strictness. Both wear white aprons.

When Normality Forms Without Being Asked

Perhaps you read in the last blog how my understanding of agency has formed over many years. How my perspective gradually shifted toward an inner orientation that grows out of experience. This text continues from there.→ https://www.schmerztherapie-andrea-tschanz.ch/en/blog Through my history with an underdeveloped hip, I grew into medical routines. Casts, braces, surgeries, healing phases. Periods of lying down, periods of getting upright. The body responds, adapts, carries

Dream Thinking

Do you remember your last dream? Was it a beautiful dream or a frightening one? Did it come true. You probably know that sudden waking from a nightmare as well. Drenched in sweat, the heartbeat racing somewhere far too high, that feeling as if you had just lived through the dream, even though you are already awake. The body reacts as if everything had truly happened. Our inner protection system does not distinguish between image and event. It adapts bodily reactions to the im

Action from Being

If you read my work regularly, you may have already noticed that a particular understanding of the ability to act has developed in my work—one that moves away from common assumptions. It is not about motivation or perseverance. For many years, I have been engaged with the question of how effectiveness can emerge from one’s own being—especially in places where external demands and existing abilities fail to provide sustainable ground.(I opened this line of thought in the prev

Self-Authority –

Living a life with chronic pain also includes challenges and fears that often change very little over long periods of time. Strong willpower, high effort, and the ongoing fight for improvement reach their limits where perspective and orientation are missing. The search for advice, concepts, and therapies can provide a great deal of knowledge in such phases. Yet knowledge alone does not create movement. As long as we remain in the back-and-forth between functioning and withdra

Trinity

Since time immemorial, it has been assumed that living beings consist of body, mind, and soul. This idea appears in many cultures and still feels self-evident today. Animals and plants show this threefold nature very clearly in everyday life. Plants orient themselves toward light, water, and the seasons. Animals move strongly from instinct. They respond sensitively to changes in their environment, sense weather changes early, and adjust their behavior. With growing attention

The Energy “I”

How often does the question arise about the meaning of life, about what it means to be human, and what the “Eneggy I” actually is. In energy work, an awareness of universal connection develops quickly. An I am in being. A channel that allows energies to flow and creates healing through energy fields. The easiest way to understand this energy is by comparing it to a baby that has just been born. It simply is. It lies in your arms and fills the entire surroundings with the ene

A Beginning That Carries

Elements and Tools from the Healing Atelier This blog begins in motion. In my everyday life, insights arise every day. In short impulses, in conversations, in moments that touch something essential. Social media is a lively space for this — a place where thoughts can be shared and where certain forms of knowledge find new ground to continue growing. At the same time, something else is unfolding. The wish to pause. To look more deeply. To examine aspects more closely. To make
