Chronic pain management with a Psychologist
Chronic pain is persistent pain that lasts beyond three months. It can significantly affect your quality of life. Managing chronic pain can be complex; therefore, people will use various treatments for pain management.
Ways to manage chronic pain
Typically chronic pain often cannot be managed with surgery or medication alone. Which is why many chronic pain sufferers explore other options such as lifestyle changes, physical therapy, or Psychologist counselling for pain management.
Counselling for pain management
Many people find that working with a Psychologist can help them learn strategies to manage chronic pain more effectively. Psychologists are trained professionals who use various psychological techniques, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) to help individuals break through the cycle of chronic pain, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. Moreover, psychologists provide emotional support and teach problem-solving skills that can help patients cope with ongoing chronic pain.

Typically, chronic pain management requires an individualised, tailored approach to therapy to meet the specific needs of each person.
