Theodosia Daflos
Counsellor/Therapist, MA
Chronic pain and chronic illnesses can be devastating to experience, particularly if there is no treatment for them. From a psychological perspective, we know and acknowledge that you have a biological cause of your pain and illness that we can't change through therapy. What we CAN help with is managing your pain and illness. This can include identifying and working through barriers to taking your medications or making medical appointments to manage your illness, identifying patterns and triggers that make your symptoms worse, and addressing the stress, anxiety, and depression your illness and pain can cause.

Darren Williamson
Pre-Licensed Professional
People often think of chronic pain as a physical problem. But living with chronic pain can take a heavy psychological toll. It can create feelings of anger, hopelessness, shame and isolation. It can impact your sleep, your diet, and can contribute to a variety of psychological symptoms such as depression, phobia and anxiety.
Together we will make a pain management plan that involves identifying the thoughts and emotions contributing to your pain. Through counselling, we can find a way for you to handle your pain more effectively, and improve your self-esteem and overall quality of life.

When we are in cronic pain, or illness we need to draw from deeper inner recouces to find new ways to be in life, in our selves, and with others - in that way this challenge can become a real opportunity for inner growth and transformation. Through counselling sessions you will get to open to this new possibility.
