Chronic Pain or Illness
Chiara Cabiglio
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
I specialize in supporting clients through chronic illness and pain as someone who has an intimate understanding of chronic illness due to having lived with countless "autoimmune" and other invisible disabilities for over the last decade. Mostly, I help you heal the underlying cause of your chronic illness: trauma. By processing the trauma responsible for the dis-ease, we are able to get to the root cause for deeper and lasting healing.

"Mindfulness" is now successfully used as behavioral therapy.
In psychotherapy, "mindfulness" is now successfully used as behavioral therapy. Mindfulness means to direct one's attention deliberately and not judgmental to the conscious experience of the moment. The patient learns to pay attention to the body functions such as breathing in the course of psychotherapy and deals with a positive purpose in life. In this way he perceives the "negative" things or the illness as no longer so impairing and directs his thoughts towards health. As examples one can mention the syndrome of restless legs: Patients experienced the painful "leg fidgeting" after performing the mindfulness exercises as no longer so impairing. The integration of "mindfulness" is particularly helpful in the treatment of depression.
Apart from "mindfulness", probably more elements of psychotherapy can be used to focus on health and physical recovery.
A polarization between academic medicine and mental Healing is not useful. Rather, a simultaneous application of common medicine and spiritual healing to improve the state of health and the course of patients' disease. I would therefore like to call for this, to cooperate even more closely between the disciplines in the medical and complementary medicine sector.

When you are diagnosed with a cancer or a serious illness, there is a ripple effect across all aspects of your life. It can feel like a full time job managing your treatment. You may feel alone, and may be reluctant to share your fears and challenges with family and friends. While focus has likely been on your physical healing, it would be my privilege to be alongside you as you face the emotional, physical, and spiritual challenges of serious illness. Feeling out of control is common with chronic pain and serious illness. I can help you regain control over how you emotionally and cognitively respond to your illness.
