Chronic Pain
"Acceptance doesn’t mean resignation; it means understanding that something is what it is and that there's got to be a way through it."
— Michael J. Fox
At some point in life, we will experience pain. Pain is meant to be a short-term protective factor. When it lasts longer than necessary it takes a toll, negatively impacting one’s well-being. It’s not only physical; it also becomes emotionally stressful, directly affecting mental health.
Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Migraines, Endometriosis, Pre Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), Lupus, Postpartum complications, and Cancer are just several situations that cause chronic pain. Research shows that people who live with chronic pain are four times more likely to have depression or anxiety than those who live pain free. So, if you’re suffering physically, you’re probably also suffering emotionally. You don’t need to do it alone. Although we can’t cure your physical ailments (even though we wish we could), we can support you emotionally through them and the chronic pain that accompanies them.
