In this episode of Beyond The Pain, Leigh Brandon is joined by psychotherapist and yoga teacher Catia Batalha to explore the deeper meaning behind chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, and psychosomatic symptoms.

Catia shares her personal journey with autoimmune illness and how it led her to investigate the powerful relationship between the mind, body, and intuition. Together, they discuss why symptoms are not random, how the body communicates through pain and illness, and why ignoring early warning signs can lead to persistent or chronic conditions.

This conversation explores:

• Why chronic pain and autoimmune symptoms often persist

• The mind–body connection in psychosomatic conditions

• How intuition and awareness play a role in healing

• Why symptoms are signals, not mistakes

• Empowerment, responsibility, and listening to the body

• Karma, life experiences, and the interconnected nature of health

If you’ve tried treating symptoms without lasting relief, this episode offers a deeper perspective on how healing begins with awareness — and learning to listen to what your body is trying to tell you.
