Course Description

Anyone with chronic pain knows about emotions that show up with pain, like sadness, fear and irritability.

Constant pain & pain flare-ups bring emotional instability – like a roller  coaster: sadness plunges into despair; fear escalates into panic;  irritability goes ballistic into rage.

These powerful emotions  can rip through typical coping strategies so that people with chronic  pain become afraid of their emotions and their ability to control them  around others. What to do?

This webinar will teach you some helpful & practical ways of riding the emotional roller-coaster of chronic pain.
