Life Plan & Recovery<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Optimizing your personal power will be the foundation for recovering from chronic pain. It is a process that can be taught, experimented with, and refined to help you thrive. Using the New Possibilities book, the course, and workbook, you will explore the circumstances of life chronic pain created. You will learn how to recover<\/em> and you will develop a life plan<\/em> that restores what\u2019s been lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Life Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Identifying disruptions <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Pain is in your life, not just your body. Many people are so busy responding to events that they have very little sense of having an actual plan for their life. Other people have a clear plan for themselves. Either way, pain disrupts lives. It unbalances your sense of who you are and what is likely or even possible to have happen in your life. People suffering with chronic pain always experience disruption and loss and\u2014in some cases\u2014devastation and catastrophic loss.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Converting loss to challenge <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
We help our clients overcome the losses and neutralize the disruptions by converting them to challenges that can be met.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Determining what matters most <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The life plan begins by exploring your relationships, activities, interests, skills, goals and aspirations\u2014all of the elements of life that you say has given you meaning and purpose. Within the stress created by the negative events around your pain, there is an opportunity for personal growth. Utilizing your inherent strengths and reinforcing them, we help to restore balance, meaning and health in your life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Assessing pain\u2019s impact and your progress in recovery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Once the goals are clear, we assess the impact of the pain condition on an individual\u2019s life. The next step is rebuilding your life around what is important to you. This step involves some trial and error and is, perhaps, the most fun part of the recovery process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Celebrating and Fine-Tuning your plan <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The final step is for you to engage in the on-going process of savoring what is meaningful and to continue to skillfully address any challenges to your health and well-being as they become known.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Recovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s no silver bullet just consistent effort in the right direction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Most of us would like to find the quick and easy cure, the \u201csilver bullet\u201d for whatever vampire is taking our energy and leaving us wasted. But chronic pain, whether physical or emotional, requires that we do many small things over time to change our life and our pain experience. Like an ocean liner changing course in a small harbor, we need many gentle shoves in the right direction to get us where we\u2019re going.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Use goals to guide you <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Guided by your goals and hopes for your life, recovery planning includes and develops the people, events and skills you need to reach those goals as well as the motivation and inspiration required to continue on the path to recovery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Be specific about what you need to accomplish <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Making changes means that you\u2019ll be challenged to overcome obstacles. If you aren\u2019t aware of the obstacles or what you need to overcome them, you probably won\u2019t succeed. We help our clients be very specific about what they want to accomplish and just as specific about how they can get it done. Planning is an essential tool for making change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Finding the resources you need<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Recovery is about finding the internal and external resources that we need to live in a better way. Our program provides the tools for recovery to anyone interested in doing the work of living well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Plan for relapses to succeed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Relapse prevention planning is an important part of recovery planning. This planning really pays off whenever stresses accumulate and resources are tapped out. And predicting that challenging situations are a normal feature of life gives you the luxury of having a plan you can use to ride out the \u201cstorm\u201d, however it shows up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
What Clients are Saying<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Dr. Weisser\u2019s approach has helped me to not only deal with my pain more effectively but has strengthened my ability to get my needs met, better connect with others, and find new and invigorated value and purpose despite my pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
– J.K. 38 – Chef<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
After only a few months\u2019 working with Dr. Weisser\u2019s approach, even though my pain levels were the same, I was able to react to it with less distress and emotional suffering and was better able to manage it. I began to see it as an event in my life not the master of It. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
– S.R. 47 – Neurologist<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
This approach has helped me to feel considerably more in control of my pain and my life. It has had a major positive impact on how I feel about myself and taught me how to be more empowered in dealing with any stressor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
