10 Step Approach To Living With Chronic Pain - Video
Here’s the recording of our recent webinar with Dr. Serena Patterson where she describes her 10 Step approach to living with chronic pain.
Tapping into the wisdom path of chronic pain is the goal of a new 10-step program being developed by local psychologist Dr. Serena Patterson. Beginning with “Stop Apologizing”, Dr. Patterson leads pain clients through steps to decrease shame, grieve for what is lost, communicate clearly about pain, understand how pain works in the body, build a “what works” list, and embrace a pain-informed spirituality of simplicity, beauty, gratitude, and kindness.
