What to Expect
Meetings range from an Introduction to Self-Management which is designed to give attendees an understanding of what is involved and to arm them with tools to implement the strategies to more advanced sessions. Topics generally discussed at the Introductory meeting include:
- Understanding Chronic Pain & how it differs from other pain
- Understanding the role of Healthcare Professionals
- Understanding all available options – Medicines/Medical Devices/CBT/TM etc.
- Pacing skills
- Practical relaxation / improving sleep
Finally when attendees are ready to progress our Self-Management facilitator along with the group identifies three or four areas to concentrate on e.g. pacing skills, dealing with negative thinking, guilt, sleep, relaxation techniques, improving communication, coping mechanisms, building resilience etc., etc.
