How we Help

Stories help us make sense of our life experiences including pain. Our narratives also reveal our perspectives which reflect our beliefs, knowledge, expectations, feelings, and thoughts. Studies have found that how we view our ongoing pain can impact how much, and even if, we hurt.

Through teaching the latest science about pain and recovery and relating it to your narrative, we help you develop a new understanding and relationship with your pain. This new outlook can redirect the trajectory of your pain story towards relief and resilience.

The Chronic Pain Problem

Approximately one and half billion people worldwide have chronic pain, including nearly 25% of US adults
Standard treatments which are mostly invasive and only aimed at the physical body are frequently ineffective
The goal of persistent pain care is often management instead of elimination
Current pain remedies only address symptoms not the underlying causes

The Pain Story Project Solution

Research has proven that learning about persistent pain can reduce it
Chronic pain is caused by many factors
Pain educators agree: chronic pain is often a ‘pain problem’ not a tissue issue
The meaning applied to chronic pain directs behaviors and outcomes
Ongoing pain is a sensory and emotional experience both of which need to be considered in recovery
