How Does Counselling Help with Chronic Pain and Health Conditions
Chronic pain and health conditions impact us in complex ways challenging us not only
physically, but socially, emotionally and spiritually.
Within this turmoil and pain we often feel alone, invalidated by professionals and those close to
us, but you aren’t alone.
Many experience an overwhelming range of emotions: anger, anxiety, depression, grief.
Many face barriers to participating in passions or activities that have long supported and added
joy
Many have to navigate changing roles and relationships.
Many find historical trauma and toxic stress is brought forward and amplifies and intensifies pain
and ill health
Counselling can offer a safe compassionate space for you to grieve, explore and learn.
Working together with a therapist may involve:
processing trauma and toxic stress in a safe compassionate space, untangling your past
from your present
learning mindfulness, pacing and distress tolerance techniques to support your ability to
cope
drawing on motivational tools to support for difficult lifestyle changes like diet, exercise,
sleep and substance use
exploring acceptance, perseverance and meaningful rebuilding
