Gwen Schauerte
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, M.Ed.
I've worked with people in the aftermath of motor vehicle accidents which can upend a person's life in an instant. I draw on my experience with illness and blend this with compassion and knowledge of coping strategies. It can be hard to do it alone, let me help.

Andrea Rowell
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
It can be very isolating to go through chronic pain or illness, and yet this is a time of life when we need healthy and supportive connection with others the most. The IFS (internal family systems) approach can be especially supportive for relief of chronic illness, autoimmune illness, and pain. I use the IFS approach because it's an incredibly non-pathologizing approach, and when you're "all out of spoons", that compassion is really needed.

Dr. Kim Edwards
Psychologist, C.Psych.
Can chronic pain get better?
Yes! Our brain changes and adapt throughout our lifetime (i.e., this is called neuroplasticity). Habits are essentially strengthened roads or pathways when we repeatedly do or feel or think in the same way. When we continue to travel the same road or pathway, we strengthen the habit. When we form a new habit, we make new connections and old pathways are used less/weakened. The more we travel the pathway, the more our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours become second nature (e.g., like brushing teeth).
In chronic pain, the nervous system and brain have changed due to neuroplasticity in an unhelpful way. The good news is that we all have the ability to learn and change by rewiring our brain.
