Many of our clients deal with issues of pain on various levels which has an impact on all aspects of wellness from body, mind and brain to family, relationships and community. Chronic pain is one of the most common complaints that patients bring to family physicians and often there can be a comorbidity with anxiety or depression. Clearly this is a pervasive form of suffering that we as music therapists need to find a way to address. Knowing more about how pain actually works can help us create more effective interventions for our clients and ourselves. With chronic pain, our brain interprets danger messages from the body which can become habitual and eventually as the spinal cord creates more receptors for pain it can lead to a hyper sensitive nervous system. Come join us as we explore how this chronic pain cycle can be reversed. I look forward to sharing more about various music therapy goals, interventions and research regarding pain management and please feel free to bring your own personal stories and ideas so we can make sure that the course is relevant to your own particular context.
