Chronic Pain

Are you suffering from medically unexplained Chronic Pain?

Did you know that chronic pain is different from acute or “normal” pain?
Chronic pain is often maintained by hidden inner factors such as past trauma, attachment wounds, and ongoing stress. This is why traditional treatments designed for acute pain frequently fail to provide lasting relief.

You are not alone! Globally, an estimated 2–4% of the general population (that is up to 331,959,153 people) lives with chronic pain conditions that have no clear structural cause.

The good news is that chronic pain can be unlearned. By changing the neural pathways in the brain, it is possible to reduce or even eliminate pain. This is why neuroscience-informed interventions such as EMDR and mindfulness- based interventions are incredibly essential.

What to expect in our sessions addressing pain?

During our initial sessions, I will take the time to learn about your pain history, your life experiences, and how chronic pain has impacted your daily life. This assessment phase may take several sessions, as it is important for me to develop a comprehensive understanding of your unique experiences.

From there, we will move into what is called the resourcing phase. During this stage, I will assess your current ability to cope with daily stressors and chronic pain while helping you develop practical coping skills and internal resources. My goal is for you to begin experiencing some relief as early as possible in the therapy process.

Once you have developed a solid foundation of coping resources, we will begin processing past experiences that may be contributing to your pain. Together, we will explore the memories, beliefs, thoughts, emotions, physical sensations, and other experiences that have become connected to your pain over time. This phase is an important part of healing. As your relationship with pain begins to change, changes are also occurring within your brain.
