Mindfulness Exercise for Chronic Pain
by Ronald D. Siegel
In this informative excerpt, Ron Siegel demonstrates his integrative approach by helping Lorraine, a middle-aged woman with chronic back pain, get in touch with her present-moment experience of fear, which exacerbates her condition.
Research has shown that aversion to pain is a major component of chronic pain and that many of us do not notice that aversion response. Watch mindfulness expert Ron Siegel use simple exercises to help distinguish between moment-to-moment pain sensations and the aversion response to them in this session with Lorraine, a 60-year-old woman struggling with chronic pain. He starts with a general mindfulness practice and then shifts to helping her experience how focusing on the pain amplifies it.
This short video demonstrates mindfulness techniques that you can use to help your clients with chronic pain be more willing and able to engage in activities that they enjoy, need to do, or are necessary for rehabilitation. You’ll discover techniques for decreasing the aversion response which, in turn, decreases the discomfort that comes with pain.
