And a caring collaboration
Pain Coaching focuses on the person, you.
Pain Coaching is a partnership between two people, or between members of a group.
You are the expert in you, your life and your pain.
It is the collaboration that drives the transformation of your experience.
You learn to live yourself better by clarifying what you want to achieve, then learning and practicing the skills that take you in that direction.
Pain Coaching supports, guides and encourages you along the way, sharing practical tools and showing you ways of using them skilfully in your world to be successful.
This is the major difference between Pain Coaching and traditional ways that assume the professional helper is the expert who imparts information.
Coaching gets into the know-how in your world — how to specifically apply the skills, guided in their application and learning from your experiences. It is truly personalised at every step and responsive to your ever-changing needs.
We walk the path together as you build your know-how and confidence.
There is a spirit to Pain Coaching that underpins the approach.
It draws upon a wide range of skills from different fields, offering the best fit to meet your needs, rather than telling you that you need a particular therapy.
There is no specific therapy to overcome chronic pain simply because each person is different, with different needs that are ever-changing.
The spirit of Pain Coaching includes the following:
- you have strengths
- you have capabilities
- you can grow and learn
- you have a positive history
- you have resources
- you are a human being first
- you have hopes and dreams
- you are changing and can harness this in a chosen direction
- you are the expert in you
Pain Coaching makes sense when you understand pain as a need state.
It also makes sense when you understand transforming pain is a learning process, like learning a musical instrument.
Pain Coaching does not see you as a problem or something that needs fixing.
There are particular conditions meaning you experience on-going pain, including patterns or habits.
Together, in our caring collaboration, we help you to update these conditions to have better and better experiences, mainly in your day to day living. This is the bulk of your waking time, usually some 100 + hours a week.
Together, we answer the question, how can I live myself better?
Then put it into action.
We create a strategy and then you learn and practice the skills to bring it alive in your world for lasting positive change.
Pain Coaching is a partnership, because this is how it works for success.
Onwards.
