Chronic Pain or Illness
Julie Willsie
Registered Psychotherapist, BSc, MACP; Registered Psychotherapist
I have worked for over 25 years with clients injured in life-altering motor vehicle accidents. The chronic pain associated with traumatic injury or illness can affect our relationships, family dynamics, ability to maintain work, increase financial stress and reduce our abilities to function in society. My focus is to learn your goals and interests, to try to find ways to cope and move forward for a more productive and satisfying life again.

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.

Chronic Pain or Illness
EMDR and Trauma Therapy Centre
Registered Social Worker, Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Chronic pain illness unveils a profound interconnection between physical suffering and emotional wounds. Anxiety can be intensified and prolonged by unresolved attachment problems and earlier traumas, which have their roots in the complex web of early relationships. Like echoes from the past, these emotional scars manifest in the body, weaving a tangled web of discomfort and distress. Therapy becomes a sanctuary for exploring the hidden depths of pain, unraveling the intertwined threads of attachment dynamics and trauma history. By nurturing compassionate connections and addressing the underlying emotional triggers, individuals can begin to untangle the knots of chronic pain, reclaiming a sense of empowerment and resilience in their journey towards healing.
