What to Expect

Our SMS meetings are designed to provide you with the tools to self-manage and better understand your condition. For full details of what these meetings see above/link to relevant section.

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

We then hold follow on meetings which we review self- management strategies in more detail.  We encourage participants to attempt to build techniques into their daily routine and review to ascertain if they have made any progress.  We also identify topics/areas that participants would like to focus on and look at those areas that they may have had trouble implementing.  There is no point in attending a more advanced session if attendees are having difficulties in implementing these strategies.  Therefore, attendees can repeat these meetings/sessions as often as they need.  

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.
