The Chronic Pain Experience Podcast Deana Tsiapalis

In this episode I discuss how our current model of chronic pain care is struggling to keep up with the new science of pain. Where chronic pain warriors are stuck in a model of care that is outdated and ineffective for chronic pain specifically (but great for acute care). From the lack of mandatory chronic pain curriculum for our physicians to insurance policies locked on the old science of pain, we have some work to do.Find our free resources:Looking for more free resources?

Isolation that comes from Chronic pain can come in different forms such as isolation from others, disconnectedness from ourselves and touch starvation. In this episode I sit down with Kat Anna to talk about the biological, psychological and social implications of touch starvation, chronic pain and it's impact on the nervous system. More importantly we discuss the important work to help you move through it all.

Living with chronic pain can often be an isolating journey, but research consistently highlights the transformative power of community in improving the quality of life for individuals facing this challenge. The latest studies underscore the vital role that a culture of safety and connectedness plays in positively influencing the lived experience of chronic pain.By fostering a supportive community, we not only share the weight of our individual struggles but also amplify our collective strength. The sense of belonging and understanding within a community can significantly reduce feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression associated with chronic pain.Creating a culture of safety within this community is paramount. It provides a space where individuals can openly express their challenges, triumphs, and vulnerabilities without judgment. This culture of safety becomes a foundation for trust, empathy, and collaboration, essential elements in navigating the complexities of chronic pain.Join Our Free CommunityIf you'd like to join us inside our Free Cwtch community, simply click HERE to be taken to the 'Heartbeat Chat' App.Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts“I love Deana's message inside The Chronic Pain Experience Podcast” – If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing my show!
