Approach
Tools for making sense of persistent discomfort
Approach
Regardless of how we work together, three key principles guide this approach:
Chronic pain involves the brain and the body, and sorting signal from noise gets increasingly difficult as pain persists;
Physical pain and emotional pain share overlapping pathways in the brain–what works for addressing one is frequently effective for addressing the other;
Fear is a big component of pain, and it’s difficult to experience fear alone. Reducing the isolation of chronic pain is an effective approach in and of itself.
