Perhaps the single most failure-producing aspect of chronic pain is its inherit isolation. Add the medical hopelessness faced by many patients and a perfect storm is created for chronic pain patients to fail permanently out of the workforce and fail to thrive. Pain management coaching provides the bridge between medical care and the patient’s innate will to survive. Pain management coaching pioneer Becky Curtis will share how the latest research on the brain and pain relate to re-learning and pain management. Attendees will gain understanding of the role pain management coaching plays in reshaping the learned phenomena of chronic pain, and how a client, with the guidance of a coach, can participate more in their own lives.
