Thanks so much for showing up again! In this episode, we focus on managing the challenges that come with treating patients in chronic pain. What if they don't want to take this approach? What if they have a strong sense of injustice? Should you avoid stress? Is that even possible? Sometimes patients don't want to take this approach. Sometimes a strong sense of injustice is interfering with their recovery. In other cases, patients are experiencing high levels of stress. Our discussion focuses on strategies to help manage these issues. We also cover changing the plan when a patient shows up in a different state than normal, and touch base on specific personality characteristics that might create a challenge for a patient trying to recover, and what we might do to help move them towards recovery. Thanks again for being here!
