One of the hardest discussions to have with people in pain is shifting our focus from trying to "fix" pain to living well with pain.  Because, if we are very honest there are a huge number of people who might always have pain.  Sometimes the goal for healthy rehab is to shift from eliminating pain to living well with pain.  This is a fundamental of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Dr Bronnie Lennox Thompson is an expert in this area and she takes us through the importance of this approach and how you can have this difficult conversation with your patients.
