Understanding Chronic Pain & Illness
Chronic pain doesn't just hurt physically. It’s an inescapable and exhausting experience, destroying your mood, wrecking your sleep and straining your relationships. It can be difficult for you to move around and do the things that you’d like. Flare-ups can happen without any warning, making it difficult to plan your life. Often, the people around you don’t understand what you’re going through.
Comorbid difficulties

The Importance of Support in Chronic Pain & Illness
Therapy provides a space to address the emotional toll that chronic pain takes, helping you manage stress, anxiety, and isolation. A skilled therapist can offer practical coping strategies to help you navigate the day-to-day challenges of chronic pain, while also working with you on the mental resilience needed to face pain.
Therapy can also play a role in helping to reduce your experience of pain. Through techniques like mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or a skillful combination of many of these techniques, your pain can stop calling the shots in your life.
You can become more aware of your pain triggers and learn to develop responses to them that truly work for you
By working with a skilled chronic pain therapist, you can learn to interrupt the cycle of stress and tension that often makes chronic pain worse. Over time, many people find that their pain can become much more manageable. You can regain control over how you feel physically and mentally. With the right support, your life can be re-infused with meaning, purpose and peace.
