Chronic Pain or Illness
Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Typically, Chronic Pain Syndrome patients come to see a psychologist after being seen by a number of other health professionals to no avail, including internal medicine physicians, orthopedists, surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, emergency room doctors (for late-night injections of powerful pain killing drugs) and others. Typically, a Chronic Pain evaluation consists of several approaches to discovering which factors play the largest role in maintaining the pain. We ask patients to keep a Pain Diary for a week or two, which helps us pinpoint which activities or emotional states are related to an increase in pain level. This also helps us observe how they are actually taking their medications. We may also perform psychological testing to determine any underlying causes of depression or anxiety which should be treated in addition to the Chronic Pain and which could be helping to maintain it. At least one Family Session is held to explore whether there have been unconscious payoffs within the family for being in pain.

Michele Sitorus (Inner Peace Psychological Care)
Psychologist, Psy.D.
A multidisciplinary approach is often used to address both the physical and psychological aspects of the condition. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) may be employed to help individuals manage pain-related distress, challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs about their condition, and develop effective coping strategies. Mindfulness-based interventions, such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) or acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), can also be beneficial in promoting acceptance of pain and fostering greater psychological flexibility. Additionally, therapy may involve education about pain management techniques, relaxation training, and lifestyle modifications to improve overall quality of life despite the presence of chronic pain or illness.
