Live well,
despite chronic pain

Changing the way we think about and manage pain

Less pain talk. More well talk.

11/30/2019

 
Do you ever get tired of hearing people complain about their pain? 

It can get depressing. And it makes it hard to take positive steps in your life if you're surrounded by negativity. 

While pain talk can help validate our pain, it has been shown to worsen our pain.  Conversely, well talk has been shown to reduce pain intensity. 

Some tips:
  • Stay away from people who only want to complain about pain
  • Don’t share your pain with others - if you tire of listening to pain talk,  think about how others can tire of listening to you
  • Don't track pain with a pain diary - it only increases more focus on the pain
 
I see this way too much pain talk in Facebook pain support groups.  That’s why I started my own support group where we don’t allow any complaining, woe is me or negative talk.  The group is called  Chronic Pain Champions – No Whining Allowed.  Check us out!
