Moving Out of The Problem and Into The Solution
In this Video Blog I discuss the crucial importance of developing a whole person Body-Mind-Spirit Approach for effective chronic pain management. I also talk about the importance of helping people re-evaluate a pure bio-medical approach to chronic pain and use a Balanced Body-Mind-Spirit Approach for Relieving Chronic Pain Suffering.

In this Video Blog I discuss how people like me living with chronic pain can end up suffering and entering what I call the “Chronic Pain Trance.” I share some of my personal experience with being in that helpless hopeless suffering place and how I escaped by making peace with my pain.

In this Video Blog I talk about how I learned the lesson for the need to create a proactive flexibility and mobility plan for my own effective chronic pain management. I also give some simple yet effective tips for anyone living with chronic pain to increase their levels of functioning and improve their quality of life by being more mobile and flexible.
In this Video Blog I talk about two simple but powerful practices I use and teach as part of an effective chronic pain management plan. I think of Mindfulness as the means of maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment with openness and without judgement. I talk about Cognitive Behavioral Restructuring as a parallel process.
I discuss Anticipatory Pain and the role it plays in sabotaging an effective chronic pain management plan. I cover how it can lead those of us living with high levels of chronic pain to be afraid to even conduct common daily activities. I discuss how this anticipatory takes pain from “ouch this hurts” to “my pain is killing me, it’s horrible, awful or terrible.” I also mention you can read my article “Moving Beyond Anticipatory Pain” at https://drstevegrinstead.com/chronic-pain-articles
In this Video Blog I talk about the importance of being proactive and finding appropriate accountability partners to help you execute an effective chronic pain management plan.
