Chronic Pain or Illness
Gregg Unterberger
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.Ed., LPC
Illness and chronic pain feed our sense of hopelessness and depression - and then depression makes our pain worse. We can break this cycle and find ways to work with our pain and our thinking, to find more joy and connection in life, even if we don't know the direction our illness is going.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Dr. Adam Shafer
Psychologist, Psy. D., M.A.
Managing chronic pain and illness exhausts many of the social and personal resources we have just to get through the day. Feelings of isolation and being alone in this struggle are insidious and can take away from our ability to remain connected to others and within ourselves. Whether it is not wanting to burden others with our struggle or feelings of hopelessness, people need to know (and feel) that they are valuable enough to continue to be cared for while also provided with space through encouragement that honors our autonomy.
