My interest in chronic pain began when I developed Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome. I began to explore meditation, mindfulness and other therapies.
These helped me to accept, and manage, my pain but not resolve it.
I was mystified, and so were my doctors. We knew my pain was real but what was causing it?
Nobody knew the answer.
Much later I discovered research showing how early trauma and long-term stress can strongly influence the role the brain plays in our experience of pain.
I began to work on the source, not just the symptoms.
This was my breakthrough.
After several months of Pain Reprocessing Therapy, I noticed my pain levels had reduced, and today I am free of chronic pain, something I would not have thought possible after 30 years.
I’m a SIRPA trained psychology graduate, counsellor and accredited Breathworks teacher.
If you think this different approach to chronic pain would work for you, please get in touch.
I also welcome referrals from GPs, physiotherapists, osteopaths and other health professionals.
