Description
Chronic pain is never just physical, and effective psychotherapy requires more than a single approach. In this clinically focused session, Dr. Debra Burdick integrates five evidence-informed frameworks to help clinicians address pain mechanisms while supporting emotional regulation and overall functioning.
You’ll learn:
- How CBT-CP, ACT, Mindfulness and Neurofeedback conceptualize chronic pain
- Practical, session-ready skills from each framework to reduce distress and shift pain relationships
- How to integrate multiple approaches without overwhelming clients or losing clinical focus
