YOU'VE TRIED EVERYTHING
and nothing seems to help ...
confusing DiagnosesMedical imaging results are critical for treating acute injuries and conditions but fail to correlate to chronic pain.

discouraging treatmentsToo many previously accepted treatments are now shown to have little to no benefit at great expense.
|
limiting your lifePain (and fear of pain) can take away the things you enjoy most in life and replace with depression and anxiety.

Do you Dream of living your life without chronic pain?
But believe your distress and discomfort is just something you have to live with?

Hi! I'm Susann. I'm a mindbody coach and I want to help you recover from chronic pain. YOU can "unlearn your pain" using pain science education, somatic and mindfulness practices, emotional fluency and creative expression.
With mindbody coaching, you can move beyond persistent pain to increase your physical, mental, and emotional flexibility while enriching your quality of life and expanding your creative potential.
My coaching approach blends Pain Science Education (TMS/PPD), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Presence-Based Coaching with mindfulness, expressive arts and embodiment approaches. I hold a Ph.D. in Theatre Arts and am a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner. I am a Mindbody Coach trained in the Unlearn Your Pain model and am a Level 1 trained IFS Practitioner.

The Mindbody approach to chronic pain recovery isBIOPSYCHOSOCIALThe previous (and still prevalent) biomedical perspective on pain leads patients to search for the single cause of their pain, hoping to find the right health professional who will "fix" it. The "it" is assumed to be a structural or purely physical issue and "fixing" usually involves surgery, injection, manipulation or relying on medication for pain "management." Too often, these attempts do not work.
In contrast, the biopsychosocial model recognizes that multiple factors – biological, psychological, and social –work together to produce chronic pain. Our thoughts and emotions produce biological responses that can lead to a host of painful conditions as do the social and cultural interactions we experience. Challenging life events, past and present stress, personality traits, habitual patterns, and our beliefs and expectations about pain can all play a role in how pain is produced and experienced. |
