Chronic Pain or Illness
Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Typically, Chronic Pain Syndrome patients come to see a psychologist after being seen by a number of other health professionals to no avail, including internal medicine physicians, orthopedists, surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, emergency room doctors (for late-night injections of powerful pain killing drugs) and others. Typically, a Chronic Pain evaluation consists of several approaches to discovering which factors play the largest role in maintaining the pain. We ask patients to keep a Pain Diary for a week or two, which helps us pinpoint which activities or emotional states are related to an increase in pain level. This also helps us observe how they are actually taking their medications. We may also perform psychological testing to determine any underlying causes of depression or anxiety which should be treated in addition to the Chronic Pain and which could be helping to maintain it. At least one Family Session is held to explore whether there have been unconscious payoffs within the family for being in pain.

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.
