Introducing the $59 self-guided ​Break Free from Chronic Pain video course

While I was blessed with good health insurance and the resources to attend the 3-week outpatient Mayo Clinic Pain Rehabilitation Center; I believe pain information and resources should be easily accessible to everyone living with chronic pain. 

That’s why I've put together a website full of free information, a free e-book, and a Facebook community (Chronic Pain Champions – No Whining Allowed) to help people living with pain and their families in addition to clinicians learn about pain, pain rehabilitation, and self-management.

The $59 Break Free from Chronic Pain video course takes this work to the next level in a personally recorded audiovisual format to help you learn about pain and become empowered to have a more positive, meaningful, and active life despite the pain. 
​
This 3.5-hour self-guided course may be right for you if:
  • You’ve had pain for longer than three months.
  • Your mood and quality of life are being negatively affected by the pain.
  • You've seen multiple doctors and other clinicians desperately trying to find a cause and cure for the pain.
  • You continue to suffer despite conventional biomedical therapy, including medicines, injections, surgeries, or other expensive treatments.
  • You want to better understand your symptoms.
  • You're not living the life you want and are uncertain about the future.
  • You want to be more physicially active but are not sure how to fo that.
  • You’re ready to learn and practice new strategies to change how you approach pain and live your life.

What you'll get
  • Online access to the self-recorded 3.5-hour video course with over 300 slides (divided into seven chapters).
  • Downloadable chapter summaries with key takeaways as well as links to resources and educational content to learn more.
  • Updates to the course, if and when they become available.
  • Ongoing positive support via the private Chronic Pain Champions - No Whining Allowed support group (open to anyone to join whether they buy the course or not but requires approval to join).
​
What you’ll learn
  • The purpose of pain.
  • The role of the brain in creating pain.
  • The differences between acute pain and chronic pain.
  • How pain becomes chronic.
  • The power of neuoplasticity.
  • The value of changing the pain narrative and treatment expectations.
  • Why the prevalent biomedical model of medicine often fails people living with chronic pain.
  • Why it’s important to take personal responsibility for actively self-managing the pain and living your life to the fullest.
  • The power of accepting the pain.
  • Self-management skills and strategies that you can use for the rest of your life to help calm the nervous system, take control of pain, and improve  quality of life beyond traditional biomedical therapies.
  • The value of attending a comprehensive pain rehabilitation program and what to expect.

Topics include:
  • Pain neuroscience

  • Changing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to change the pain experience using cogntitive behavioral therapy
  • Maintaining a positive mindset
  • Creating safety messaging
  • Staying active using moderation and modification
  • Relaxation training
  • Sleep hygiene
  • Goal setting
  • Flare management/difficult-day planning
  • Support from family members, healthcare professionals, and formal pain rehabilitation
  • And much more
​
What you won’t get 
  • An easy fix. It will require work on your part and require making changes to how you think about pain and how you behave in relation to it.
  • Any guarantees to reduce the pain or end the pain. Since chronic pain often has no single cause or cure, “zero pain” is often an unrealistic goal. Not to say it isn’t possible. While pain can change, it's not just about reducing symptoms but more about increasing functioning and improving quality of life. Any pain reduction is an added benefit.
  • Earth-shaking proprietary information or information that isn't available elsewhere. What I share is what I’ve learned through my chronic pain journey and what has worked for me, the 300-plus hours I spent at the Mayo Clinic Pain Rehabilitation Center and the Mayo Clinic Fibromyalgia program, what I learn each day supporting people living with pain, and countless hours of research.
  • A heavy discussion about specific pain conditions or biomedical treatments. 
  • An individualized program or personalized recommendations. ​
  • Medical advice from a licensed medical professional. All content is for informational or educational purposes only. Please see the medical advice disclaimer for more information.
