Reclaim Your Life from Chronic Pain and Illness

Your Illness Does Not Have to

Define You

Do you ever find yourself struggling to balance managing your pain or illness and the rest of your life?  Do you ever feel like your pain or illness is running your life instead of you being the one in control?  Do you notice yourself spending a lot of time thinking about your life “before pain/illness” or worrying about how your medical condition is going to impact your future?  Are you sick and tired of trying to explain your health situation to people who don’t understand and just don’t get it? These are very common experiences for people with chronic pain or other complex medical conditions, but just because they are common that doesn’t mean they are easy to live with day in and day out.   

When you’re dealing with chronic pain or complex medical issues, it can feel like you’re caught in a never ending cycle of daily challenges. If any of these statements sound like you, look no further- Beyond the Body Health Psychology Services is here to help.
