Promoting health behavior change presents an important challenge for practitioners who treat pain. Acceptance, mindfulness, commitment, and values are essential processes to cultivate when caring for those living with pain. Despite advances in integrative pain care many are still hurting and suffer.
Psychological flexibility empowers people to feel better and live better. ACT is the throughline that serves my approach and clinical training.
Essential evidence-based pain education and psychologically informed pain care is still widely absent from ALL licensed health professionals graduate training. University education programs are big ships that are slow to turn so I’ve made it my life work to substantially contribute to the global movement of reinventing pain care.
In recent years I decided to offer clinical training and supervision to health professionals who treat pain. The majority of my work centers on teaching physical therapists how to use ACT in practice. I also engage with occupational therapists and mental health professionals.
