Acceptance and Self-love Counseling for Chronic Pain in Edmonton, AB

With counselling from our experienced psychologists, you can learn to deal with the impact of chronic pain, gaining the tools you need to work toward acceptance and self-love. Chronic pain may affect your life in several ways. Many people who experience chronic pain also develop depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues due to how the physical pain makes them feel. These mental health problems can also lead to greater physical pain, creating a cycle that becomes difficult to break.

Chronic pain often causes a lot of negative thoughts, stress, and fatigue. You may also be affected by the stigma and misunderstanding that often surrounds chronic pain, which can make you feel invalidated or not believed. The aim of counselling for chronic pain is to give you a way to explore your thoughts and feelings in a non-judgemental space. There are multiple therapeutic approaches that can help you improve your self-esteem, reduce negative thoughts, and respond to chronic pain in a healthier way. They include mindfulness, acceptance and commitment therapy, and cognitive behavioural therapy.
