Description
This class is designed to help you understand how pain works in the body and brain. You will learn about what pain really is and how much your own actions and thoughts can help improve your pain and help you return to your life. This is a seated lecture-based class. The first segment is entirely lecture, providing specific information about pain processes that allows you to understand pain better and fear it less. The second segment is designed to teach you some mental focus and stress-reduction techniques that you can use yourself. Pain, stress and mental focus are very closely linked, so developing better skills in quieting stress is shown to decrease people's pain. This segment is a combination of lecture and relaxation training.
