The Pelvic Floor Project

85. How persistent pain is related to the brain with psychotherapist Christie Uipi


Listen Later

In this episode, I sit down with Christie Uipi, a psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of chronic pain, anxiety and depression and the founder of The Better Mind Center to discuss: 

  • Pain is invisible and so are pelvic floor issues
  • How pain works 
  • Why each person experiences pain uniquely 
  • Why sometimes pain goes away quickly and reasons why it persists
  • Messages to patients who feel they go between many health care practioners
  • Emotional and physical aspects of pain 
  • How physiotherapists and psychotherapists can work together
  • What psychotherapy has to offer and the negative stigmas associated
  • Personality traits that are common amongst people with persistent pain 

Christie Uipi (she/her) is a psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of chronic pain, anxiety, and depression and the founder of The Better Mind Center.  Christie has been a key collaborator on the development and research of the Pain Reprocessing Therapy treatment modality.  She lectures nationally on psychotherapeutic interventions to treat chronic pain and is committed to cross-disciplinary collaboration between mental health and physical medicine. Christie is also a recovered chronic pain patient herself. The healing process was so profoundly transformational for the quality of her life that she has dedicated her career to supporting others through their recoveries.
