Pain

Nothing begins, and nothing ends,  that is not paid with moan;
For we are born in others' pain and perish in our own.
   -- Francis Thompson

How can a therapist help with pain? it’s locked in my body, not my mind.  A logical thought perhaps.  Although pain is felt in the body it can originate in the mind.  I’m not suggesting that I think people suffering from pain are hypochondriacs, far from it; but much can be done to alleviate pain by using the power of the mind.

First things first – you need to explore.

• Do you know the cause of the pain?
• Has the cause been discussed with a physician?
• What was the opinion?
• Are you following their advice?
• What triggers the pain?
• Do some things exacerbate it?
• Are you taking prescribed medication?
• Does the medication work?
• Is the medication becoming less effective?

Have you looked at alternative ways of managing your pain?

There are many techniques that can help.  Therefore, as you are an individual, the method that will suit you is also individual.  This is where a professional – such as myself comes in; because I treat you as an individual.  An off the peg solution will not work as effectively as one that is designed especially for you.
