This presentation will provide a new way of conceptualising pain so that you will have confidence to use therapeutic techniques like IFS therapy without the constant worry that you should be referring the client back to their doctor. Non-medical mental health professionals are often fearful of physical pain in the context of therapy, yet at least twenty-five percent of your clients will have chronic pain. Discover IFS therapy case studies that support important target concepts including the relationship between tissue damage and pain, pain as a protective buffer and the critical interconnection between safety, danger, fear and pain. Mental health professionals recognise the interconnectedness between the mind and some kinds of pain. It may however come as a revelation that all pain is an emergent complex system just like the mind.
As a result of this presentation, when you are treating a client you will be better able to include pain management in your therapeutic management. You will discover how to enhance a sense of safety for your client without the risk of invalidating their pain. You may be surprised to find that even clients with the most obvious physical conditions may report a reduction in pain!
