New Rules For Treating Chronic Pain: Addiction Free Solutions in the Era of Opioid Crisis
Self-Paced Digital Presentation Through PESI
This 6 Hour self-paced Webinar explores the often-misunderstood chronic pain cycle that if left untreated can sabotage effective chronic pain management. You will see how the chronic pain cycle leads to “remodeling” of the pain system including people developing an anticipatory pain reaction and learn how to effectively intervene.
By joining me you'll be able to…
- Differentiate between the physiological and psychological/emotional pain symptoms and have appropriate management strategies for both types.
- Learn how to help chronic pain sufferers move beyond anticipatory pain and break the chronic pain cycle.
- Teach your clients how to better communicate about their pain by developing and using a verbal description 10-Levels of Pain Scale.
- Investigate reasons why the biomedical approach alone may be ineffective for the low outcome subset of chronic pain clients with coexisting disorders.
- Develop a treatment plan that helps clients let go of suffering and adequately addresses the psychological/emotional symptoms of their pain.
- Analyze the needs of clients as they explore the correlation of increased stress and worsening levels of pain and how to develop appropriate relaxation response skills to reduce their levels of stress and the perception of their pain.
- Categorize at least five of the twelve denial patterns (psychological defense mechanisms) that can sabotage treatment outcomes.
This Webinar explores what most people who have never experienced suffering with chronic pain don’t know. That there are many secondary problems under the surface that sabotage chronic pain management. Learn how to look below the surface of living with chronic pain. Discover new recommendations favoring behavioral and Holistic treatments and help more people than ever before who are seeking drug-free solutions for their chronic pain.
This course also draws from the 2018 “American Society of Addiction Medicine Handbook: Pain and Addiction” – including Dr. Grinstead’s Chapter: “Self-directed Non-Pharmacological Management of Chronic Pain.”

Empowerment Coaching
Empowerment Coaching is intended for people who, despite their best efforts, have been unable to create and maintain the quality of life they really want. Or for those who choose not to enroll in traditional treatment programs. Many of Dr. Grinstead's coaching clients have completed several traditional treatment programs and either relapsed or were afraid they might.
Empowerment Coaching is very different from therapy or counseling. It is more collaborative and action-oriented than therapy and focuses primarily on the present and immediate future and by setting realistic short and long-term goals.
