Module breakdown
Module 1: Let's get started
This module is aimed at providing you with some of the basic understanding about the concepts related to chronic pain and other mindbody conditions and their treatment. As you start to go through these introductory lessons, interspersed amongst them are a number of helpful strategies. The idea for this is not only to help you learn some simple strategies from the start, but for you to also benefit from them if you find yourself becoming triggered at any point.
Module 2: Education and Understanding
In this module we go into more depth about the factors involved in mindbody/psychophysiological disorders, to help you gain a broader understanding of potential predisposing factors, as well as factors involved in the triggering and perpetuation of the pain and/or symptoms.
Module 3 & 4: Creating a Solid Foundation
Module 3 is when you can begin to set your intentions and learn some powerful strategies to help you on your journey. These are life skills, not just to help resolve symptoms. The more you can integrate and really utilise the understanding and strategies, the more you will see how these are just as powerful to use as preventative measures, as they are as part of a treatment plan.
Module 5: Self-Induced Stress
Moving forwards, in this module we go into detail about how beliefs, judgements and personality traits, as well as fear and anxiety impact pain and other mindbody symptoms. By gaining a good understanding, you will then be able to individualise all this to address those factors relevant to you and your circumstances.
Module 6: Time to Reflect
Continue to use those strategies you find most helpful, as you develop a sense of feeling safe in your body, through developing your ability to self-soothe and self-regulate. Once you trust in your ability to do that, without becoming overwhelmed when emotions start to surface or the pain/symptom increases, then this is the time to begin reflecting more deeply. This module will provide you with tools to guide you through that process.
Module 7: Deepening your Understanding
This module encourages you to explore your life further and to consider how you can focus on things that make you let go, laugh, become self-empowered and basically live a more authentic life.
Module 8: Worksheets
We've collated all of the strategies and worksheets which we reference throughout the training into one place to make it easy for you to dip back in and find what you're looking for.
