Psychotherapy for Chronic pain
Chronic pain is defined as pain that persists for more than three months and is often resistant to treatment. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including injuries, illnesses, or medical conditions. Chronic pain can be debilitating and significantly impact a person's quality of life. There is increasing evidence that the mind can play a powerful role in both the experience of pain and the body's response to it.
If you find yourself limited by pain,
Does receiving psychotherapy for pain mean it’s all in my head?
No. Pain is not in our head, it’s in our nervous system. Our nervous system is responsible for transmitting messages between the site of an injury and the brain. This system is a two way street: just as signals can travel through the body to reach our experience, we can send information back to our bodies through conscious practice. Over time, we can learn to respond to our experience of pain in new ways.
Will psychotherapy cure my condition, or get rid of my pain completely?
The main goal of therapy is to shift how you relate to your pain. In doing so, many people find their pain is reduced or relieved. Therapy can help you cope with ongoing pain, and help you find better strategies for managing the very real impact that pain has on our lives.
What does therapy for chronic pain look like?
The journey is unique to the individual and their condition. Typically, we explore a client’s experience of pain, how it impacts their life, and what goals they have for themselves. Therapy for chronic pain can often include talking about other life-stressors, family, and experiences from our past.
