I was shocked when I read that those in severe pain spend over $644 a month above their counterparts without chronic pain. So people in chronic pain pay almost $8000 more yearly than those who aren’t in pain!
If you are experiencing long-lasting or recurring pain or disease and the medical establishment has just been treating your symptoms, you are in the right place. For over 30 years, I’ve been seeing clients with chronic issues and getting great results.
Some ways you can begin to heal are:
- Get clear on what you want. Your want doesn’t have to be related to your chronic issue. It can pull you forward by connecting with your creativity or joy.
- Dream of the far future. What do you want in the big picture? A simple exercise to help you get clarity is to write your eulogy. What do you want to be remembered for?
- Look at a traumatic event in your past as a bystander with no connection to the event itself. What story would they tell?
- Now you want an empathetic witness. Your journal can be that witness or possibly a friend. Or me. I’m trained to be an empathetic witness.
If my suggestions helped you in any way, please share this post with anyone you think will benefit.
