Most practitioners who work with people in pain feel challenged by several common barriers that block healing. This presentation offers several brief interventions designed to address and remove ten obstacles to successful treatment of emotional and physical pain conditions. Topics include: Ways to reverse and regulate the emotional and physical impact of traumatic experiences, the necessity of medicine for the "mind" as well as the body, how to utilize the polyvagal nervous system in planning treatment strategy, how to help pain patients create healing connections with self, other, and the divine; and how to teach people in pain to build on success. This session will include live demonstration and brief experiential practicum. Case consultation is welcomed as time permits.
