Those patients whose lives were well managed and supported by family or others, respond to pain relief well. Where as those with psychologically disrupted or unsupported lives appear less able to cope with or respond to pain relief. My observations and connections with patients enabled me to develop a technique based on simple empathy and reassurance. Empathising with the patients needs and offering support with the emotional source of pain as well as the physical is clearly highly effective.
Voluntary feedback from recovered patients shows that physical and psychological pain are inseperable.
Therefore psychological pain alone is non-existent as it is always associated with a physical manifestation even when there is no physical trauma. PTSD is frequently associated with physical conditions which often diminish if psychological support or treatment is available. Unfortunately for some individuals if that support is not forthcoming the physical symptoms can be the most debilitating.

This so resonates. Enough with the traditional ways of dealing with trauma/grief/unresolved issues, ptsd!

We hold it in our bodies. And after we wear it out the idea of “talking and talking” about our traumatic experiences, we finally come to this…..of course it being different for every person. Thank you!
