Anxiety often prepares us for danger that hasn’t even happened.
The nervous system still flips into fight-or-flight – affecting our thoughts, feelings, behaviour and body.

Do you have all the information about your condition?

Do you ask for help when you're struggling to cope
with the emotional and physical toll of chronic pain?
Or do you try to push through and manage on your own, even when it feels like too much to bear? 🤕💔

Therapeutic Thursday There is a saying: you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. But watch any dog behaviour programme and you will see that you can. Not by shouting at the poor animal, but by teaching it new associations. We can do something similar with pain. A picture of sticky notes with tips and tricks written on it with a light bulb.
You know the saying: “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” But watch any dog behaviour show and you’ll see you can—just not by shouting, but by teaching new associations. The same goes for pain.

Therapeutic Thursday Flare ups are usually signs of overload in one way or another. It’s important to reduce whatever load you can for the short term so that you recover. In a way it’s like having a bad cold, we need to take it seriously and rest properly, otherwise it will come back again too soon. Picture of a person looking overwhelmed with piles of paper on their desk.
Are you overloaded?

Writing has always been an escape for me, but it’s more than that. It’s a way to process, remember, and honor. I spent a lot of time with my grandfather in his final years. I tried to listen and learn. Joe, a character in Fracture, was built from those memories.
