Chronic Pain
Jean-Marie Bottequin
Life Coach, WAPP
"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.

Living with chronic illness, chronic pain, disability, EDS, dysautonomia, Long COVID, autoimmune conditions, and other complex health challenges often requires carrying far more than symptoms alone. It can involve grief, uncertainty, medical trauma, identity shifts, fluctuating capacity, inaccessible systems, financial strain, changing relationships, and the ongoing labor of adapting to a body whose needs may change from one day to the next.
My work recognizes that living with chronic illness is not simply a medical experience. It is also a nervous system experience, an emotional experience, a relational experience, and often a deeply existential one. Together, we create space for the realities of grief, relief, adaptation, advocacy, relationship, resilience, choice, and survival while exploring ways to reconnect with your body that are rooted in compassion rather than conflict and pushing through.
Drawing from both clinical expertise and lived experience navigating complex chronic health conditions, I understand how easy it can be to internalize narratives that equate worth with productivity, independence, consistency, or achievement. Our work centers honoring your body's wisdom, challenging internalized narratives, cultivating self-trust, and building a life that supports your wellbeing rather than requiring you to constantly override your needs.
