Chronic Pain or Illness
Connie Taylor, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist, Certified Imago Therapist, Depth Psychologist
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."

Chronic Pain or Illness
Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Chronic pain can often be a symptom of illness or injury, but it is also present as neuroplastic pain without identifiable structural cause. I use Pain Reprocessing Therapy to help alleviate neuroplastic, psychogenic, and primary pain. I also utilize psychoeducation and mindfulness to help manage the ongoing struggles of any chronic illness.

Chronic Pain or Illness

Life Coach, WAPP
"Mindfulness" is now successfully used as behavioral therapy.
In psychotherapy, "mindfulness" is now successfully used as behavioral therapy. Mindfulness means to direct one's attention deliberately and not judgmental to the conscious experience of the moment. The patient learns to pay attention to the body functions such as breathing in the course of psychotherapy and deals with a positive purpose in life. In this way he perceives the "negative" things or the illness as no longer so impairing and directs his thoughts towards health. As examples one can mention the syndrome of restless legs: Patients experienced the painful "leg fidgeting" after performing the mindfulness exercises as no longer so impairing. The integration of "mindfulness" is particularly helpful in the treatment of depression.
Apart from "mindfulness", probably more elements of psychotherapy can be used to focus on health and physical recovery.
A polarization between academic medicine and mental Healing is not useful. Rather, a simultaneous application of common medicine and spiritual healing to improve the state of health and the course of patients' disease. I would therefore like to call for this, to cooperate even more closely between the disciplines in the medical and complementary medicine sector.
