This is an on-going group which builds on skills and information learned in Explain Pain. 

Do you know about concepts like pacing, or the impact of stress on pain responses, but struggle to apply these ideas to actually reduce your experience of pain? Have you heard a lot about making lifestyle changes to reduce pain, but haven't been able to sort out what is changeable and what isn't? Do you want to talk more about the "DIMS" and "SIMS" in your life? Join us for a semi-structured discussion, information review and get support from others who are also working to build resilience and reduce the impact of chronic pain.

If you have participated in a past Explain Pain group, or have completed a similar group elsewhere, this group may be for you!  

Ask your Western therapist for a referral or if you are new to Western, you can schedule an intake with Allison by calling (503) 253-4600 (be sure to mention that you are interested in the Building Resilience group.)  

 *This is an on-going group, with new participants invited to start the first Friday of each month.*
