Pain Symptoms as Messengers: Listening to the Body as a Pathway to Self-Care

  • Live Webinar United States (map)

Course Description:

This webinar explores physical pain symptoms as bodily messengers that can help individuals understand and manage pain sensations by using mindfulness strategies. The unpleasant nature of pain symptoms generally lead to difficult emotions, which can then generate more pain. When this cycle of pain symptoms goes unnoticed or unaddressed, the cumulative effect can lead to more serious physical and mental health problems. In this webinar, participants will learn a body-sensing approach that differentiates emotions from physical feelings or sensations. The webinar includes experiential exercises so that participants will have the opportunity to practice the skills taught.
