Overview
There is growing evidence demonstrating the benefits of an emotionally-focused approach to the treatment of chronic pain once any tissue damage has been ruled out. Georgie will explain how and why a trauma-informed approach, which addresses the physiological changes due to past trauma and chronic stress, can result in the resolution of chronic pain and other persistent symptoms.Â
She will also go through some of the main psychosocial factors involved in the predisposition, precipitation and perpetuation of chronic pain. With this understanding, Georgie will explain how, by identifying and addressing them, we can help individuals relieve the pain and gain agency over their body.Â
