The Chronic Illness Therapists

Ep 64: Calming the Bear: A Guide to Easing Your Pain w/ Jason Therrien DPT


Listen Later

Chronic pain can feel like a raging bear inside you. It's loud, scary, and all-consuming. But what if there was a way to calm the bear and find some peace?

In this conversation, Jason Therrien and Destiny Winters explore the concept of pain as a complex experience, influenced by physical, emotional, and psychological factors. 

Jason is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Certified Therapeutic Pain Specialist and Certified Health and Well-being Coach, and Destiny Winters is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Rehabilitation Counselor.

They discuss a different approach to chronic pain management – moving away from the traditional "find-and-fix" mentality and instead, highlight the importance of understanding your pain, rather than just getting rid of it without real awareness first.
