I worked in a hospital for several years in a Chronic Pain Management Program. The psychological aspects of managing ongoing pain are always difficult, but not impossible. As one patient replied when asked how he was feeling, he said, "My pain is the same, but I'm doing better."
I have worked in health care for a decade and have a background as the lead therapist at a hospital where I supported individuals with health concerns, specifically oncology and chronic illness.

I wonder if you notice any difference in your body right now, at this very moment. Can you sit with it a second longer? Perhaps, there is a small part of your body that is not feeling as strained, knotted, tingly, throbbing, or numb as it was before you made this decision to read therapist's profiles?
Through an attachment somatic therapy approach, we'll pendulate from identifying and enjoying these small to large wonderful exhales of relief from pain with intentional befriending and curiosity towards pain in a welcoming of all parts of you to be recognized, heard, and validated in a journey towards the freedom to live an engaged life of presence with yourself, your dreams, your responsibilities, and your relationships.
