Discover the Nature of Pain: Understanding its True Nature and Transforming Your Relationship with It
Delve into the intricacies of pain science and uncover its underlying truths. Learn how to reshape your perspective on pain and cultivate a healthier relationship with it. Explore practical techniques for immediate and enduring relief from pain, empowering you and your client to navigate both short-term discomfort and long-term challenges with greater ease.
Pain is a physical/psycho-social event, and our understanding of it is still unfolding. What we do know is that painkillers are only part of the story of pain-relief.
Our experience of pain is to do with our body's response to harm but also our perception of that harm. It's our brain that decides how much pain we should feel.
For example, did you know that a person's tolerance to pain rises considerably when they know that the pain is part of the healing process, as opposed to being indicative of a problem?
In this workshop, you will learn:
👉 the physical, social and cultural backdrop which affects our experience of pain
👉 a variety of simple and easy-to-share techniques which will help your client with cancer to manage their pain and discomfort.
👉 the basics of Mindfulness for Health - how to change your relationship with pain
Many of the techniques can be adapted for psychological difficulty as well as physical pain. The material is tailored towards cancer pain and can also be adapted for people with other painful conditions.

"This course was one of the most powerful and empowering experiences of my life. I found the holistic approach enlightening and thought provoking and I felt very supported in exploring some big topics and ideas for myself. While I now feel confident to teach yoga, this course hasn’t just facilitated an ability to teach yoga; it has truly developed a bedrock for my whole life."
