Chronic Pain or Illness
Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Individuals may experience challenges related to chronic pain or illness due to various factors, such as physical injuries, medical conditions, or emotional stress. When someone is facing this difficulty, I offer support by aiding them in understanding their pain and its impact on their life. Through therapeutic techniques like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness, I assist in managing symptoms and developing effective coping strategies. Additionally, I guide individuals in exploring their experiences and empowering them to discover meaning and purpose despite their condition. In cases where there is a partner or spouse, I collaborate with both individuals to enhance communication and provide mutual support as they navigate the challenges associated with chronic pain or illness.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Dr. Lisa C. Watson
Psychologist, PsyD, MPH
In my approach of using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for chronic pain or illness, I start by assessing how pain affects daily life. I educate clients on how thoughts and emotions can intensify pain, teaching them to challenge negative thoughts like catastrophizing. We set achievable goals for activities despite pain and practice relaxation techniques to reduce physical tension. Mindfulness helps manage pain sensations. Homework reinforces skills learned, like relaxation exercises. Regular review ensures we adjust strategies as needed. This personalized approach aims to empower clients in managing chronic pain and improving their quality of life.
