Toronto, Ontario therapist: Forouz Salari, registered social worker
Chronic Pain or Illness

Forouz Salari

Registered Social Worker, MA, MSW, RSW
Living with a chronic illness (such as PCOS, endometriosis, Crohn's disease, Celiac disease, Lupus, etc.) or chronic pain (resulting from a chronic illness, injury or trauma) can radically change your mental, emotional and physical capacity to engage in your life, including your work / studies, relationships, hobbies, interests and self-care activities. Living with these types of invisible disabilities means that others struggle to understand, empathize with, and extend grace and compassion towards you. They either do not know about, do not think about, cannot imagine, or refuse to offer you the types of accommodations that would support you to show up, engage and contribute to the best of your abilities. This can make you feel further misunderstood, isolated and marginalized, and reduce your access to resources and opportunities for care and growth. Let's work together to: Practice self-acceptance and self-compassion. Learn effective ways of managing your stress to reduce the intensity of the symptoms of chronic illness and chronic pain. Clarify your unique needs and boundaries. Create doable plans to feel more balanced, well, fulfilled and engaged in your work / studies, relationships, and personal life. Learn about and self-advocate for academic & workplace accommodations that can set you up for success.

Toronto, Ontario therapist: Dr. Kim Edwards, psychologist
Chronic Pain or Illness

Dr. Kim Edwards

Psychologist, C.Psych.
Can chronic pain get better? Yes! Our brain changes and adapt throughout our lifetime (i.e., this is called neuroplasticity). Habits are essentially strengthened roads or pathways when we repeatedly do or feel or think in the same way. When we continue to travel the same road or pathway, we strengthen the habit. When we form a new habit, we make new connections and old pathways are used less/weakened. The more we travel the pathway, the more our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours become second nature (e.g., like brushing teeth). In chronic pain, the nervous system and brain have changed due to neuroplasticity in an unhelpful way. The good news is that we all have the ability to learn and change by rewiring our brain. Join our clinicians to participate in our 10-session Mind-Body Connection program designed to teach you strategies to manage chronic pain. Meet Laura, our awesome physiotherapist who can also provide additional strategies. Some of our coaches have: • Helped to start one of the largest pediatric chronic pain programs at a children’s hospital in Ontario • Currently also at hospital chronic pain clinics • Completed dissertation projects on chronic pain and are actively involved in ongoing research • Hold leadership positions on regional and national chronic pain committees • Hold academic appointments at well respected universities in which they teach and supervise trainees in the field of chronic pain • Start psychosocial oncology programs in hospitals

Vancouver, British Columbia therapist: Theodosia Daflos, counselor/therapist
Chronic Pain or Illness

Theodosia Daflos

Counsellor/Therapist, MA
Chronic pain and chronic illnesses can be devastating to experience, particularly if there is no treatment for them. From a psychological perspective, we know and acknowledge that you have a biological cause of your pain and illness that we can't change through therapy. What we CAN help with is managing your pain and illness. This can include identifying and working through barriers to taking your medications or making medical appointments to manage your illness, identifying patterns and triggers that make your symptoms worse, and addressing the stress, anxiety, and depression your illness and pain can cause.
