Help clients reclaim and rebuild a meaningful life when chronic illness or chronic pain seems to have taken over. Chronic illness and pain turn people’s worlds upside down–physically, emotionally, and mentally. As a therapist, it isn’t always clear how you can best support clients as they navigate their stress, grief, identity changes, and day-to-day struggles. That’s where The Psychotherapy Toolbox for Chronic Illness & Chronic Pain comes in. Inside, you’ll find over 75 practical, ready-to-use tools–drawn from CBT, ACT, DBT, positive psychology, and more–designed to help clients manage the physical and emotional toll of chronic illness and pain. These skills will allow clients to: – Set realistic treatment goals and adjust expectations as needed – Make lifestyle changes to improve fatigue, sleep, and pain – Work with medical providers and advocate for themselves – Cope with grief, anxiety, and uncertainty – Understand the interplay between illness, pain, and mental health – Manage neuropathic, nociceptive, and nociplastic pain – Connect with their values, spiritual beliefs, and sources of meaning Includes links to downloadable worksheets and 13 audio meditations!
