Chronic Pain Therapists in Sammamish, WA
Chronic pain is treated with problem-solving therapy and hypnosis.
I work best with people who are looking for help with their issues and are willing to try new approaches to the way they go through life. People who realize that most of the work in psychotherapy is done outside of the office do well with me. I personalize treatment to the individual, and use proven techniques along with "homework assignments" where appropriate, to facilitate long lasting change and improvement in quality of life.

Increasing conflict is making simple communication a real pain - you're alternating back and forth from explosive words to tense silence.
Depression or anxiety is creeping up on you, and you know it's bad for the kids to sense the lack of stability.
If you are tired of the same old argument with your partner, and are even throwing out the dreaded "D" word (Divorce) in the heat of it, I can help you get the clarity you need to decide if your relationship is worth saving - and to do what's needed to get things back on track.

Are you done with traditional talk therapy and looking for a unique approach? If you are someone ready to get out of your brain and into your body to find healing, then you’re in the right place. Instead of trying to find the “why” behind your struggles with your thinking brain, lets allow your body to show you the roots to your struggles. I do this with the use of somatic exercises (including mindfulness and Brainspotting), and Muscle Testing. Muscle Testing is a natural form of bio-feedback that aims to find and release unprocessed emotions , beliefs, and trauma from the body. I incorporate CBT and DBT approaches in my therapy.

How does chronic pain therapy work?
Engaging with a psychotherapist to help treat chronic pain does not mean that one’s pain is all in their head. Therapy for chronic-pain patients has been shown to benefit both the mind and the body, targeting physical symptoms and increasing daily functioning. In other words, for many, addressing their emotional health through therapy affects their physical health. A therapist can help a client challenge unhelpful thoughts about pain and develop new ways to respond to it, such as distraction or calming breathing techniques. Studies have found that therapy can be as effective as surgery for certain cases of chronic pain and many doctors recommend trying psychotherapy in advance of considering invasive surgery.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic pain?
Stress, anxiety, depression, catastrophizing, ruminating, lack of activity, and social withdrawal all make chronic pain worse. Addressing these issues, research shows, can help people gain control over their pain symptoms. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, biofeedback, and mindfulness-based stress reduction, along with greater pain-management education, have been found to help people reduce fear and disability.
Are there new treatments for chronic pain?
Many cases of chronic pain, particularly those involving back pain, remain medically unexplained. But there is evidence that changes in the brain or nervous system are caused by previous physical ailments such as tissue damage; in such cases, the brain may continue to send out pain signals despite the physical cause having healed. To aid patients under these circumstances, a recently developed treatment known as pain reprocessing therapy (PRT) is designed to help the brain “unlearn” this response. A PRT practitioner helps individuals to reduce the “threat value” of their ongoing pain signals until they can reappraise them as less threatening and fear-inducing. They also help an individual to develop new emotional regulation skills.
How long does therapy for chronic pain take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from chronic pain, especially as there may be a range of physical and psychological causes for any individual’s discomfort, but most patients should expect to see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 sessions. Studies of pain reprocessing therapy found that many individuals’ experience of pain lessened in eight sessions over four weeks.
