Chronic Pain and Illness can be present because our body is not healing, because physical damage is ongoing or without a clear physical cause.
Emotional symptoms usually develop when medical treatment does not eliminate the pain or illness. Emotional distress can increase the intensity of the pain and the dysfunction caused by the illness. Those of us suffering Chronic Pain and Illness have higher levels of stress, greater difficulty with day-to-day functioning, and experience greater discrimination.
Counselling and Coaching can help you to learn how to predict and manage the pain cycle; how to use coping skills to minimise pain; how to emotionally process loss; and how to maximise active involvement in positive life experiences, despite the presence of Chronic Pain/Conditions and Illness.
