Reframe the story

Build hope and autonomy

Build hope and autonomy

Pain is so much more than tissue damage. Pain is about protection. The question is what determines the need for protection. 

The evolving science of pain makes clear that social and medical/psychological  messages play a huge role in the experience of pain. Reframing the story of why someone hurts opens up new avenues for healing.

The only expert on someone's pain is that person themselves. Healing from persistent pain requires a team but the team must be led by the patient. The clinician must be like a drivers ed. instructor. Guide and advise but the patient must drive.

The only expert on someone's pain is that person themselves. Healing from persistent pain requires a team but the team must be led by the patient. The clinician must be like a drivers ed. instructor. Guide and advise but the patient must drive.

Chronic conditions like persisting pain do not resolve with acute care solutions. Working  toward creating long term change will not happen quickly. Patient autonomy is the best solution.

Build hope and autonomy

Explore novel movements

People in pain frequently move more stiffly and with less freedom of movement. This can actually keep the pain active. One critical goal is to keep moving and to work mindfully to expand movement options.

Classes for the general public

"Pain is always new to the sufferer but looses it originality for those around him." Alphonse Daudet

The problem of chronic or persistent pain is enormous

The USA spends more each year on chronic pain than it does for cancer, heart disease, and diabetes combined!

Pain impacts all areas of life and can be devastating for all concerned. Most people living with pain have given up on the most important tool that they can have, good self care. Take back control over your life and you will find more relief.

Healing from pain: understanding brings relief

Healing from pain: understanding brings relief  is a 90 minute program which has helped many understand their pain more clearly and to may provide direction for recovery from the most devastating consequences of persistent pain.  

Testimonials

 Jim has a thorough understanding of people and how to work with and help those with persisting pain. His presentations are engaging and very helpful.  TM


This information is challenging all my old stories. It was hard to deal with that challenge. Once I began to see the connections and I could see the truth of the information in my life, my pain began to fade. 4 months in and I am about 50% improved after 30 years of pain.  GH



Display their FAQs

1. Does pain mean that my tissues are damaged? No. Pain that persists well beyond normal healing times generally means that the protective response (of which pain is a part) has not faded in the normal manner as healing has progressed. This hypersensitivity of the protective response is driving the pain. 

2. Can I live well with pain?  Yes, though challenging it is possible. Often with taking back valued activities of life, the pain begins to fade.
