We have to stop referring to chronic pain as a “dis regulated nervous system”
1. No systems in the body act in isolation ever.
2. Someone is not a nervous system, they are a whole person.
3. Pain is not a nervous system experience, it’s a whole person experience.
4. All of these things can be lovely to add into someone’s care but what if they don’t work, where do you go?
5. Chronic pain support requires far more than “calming approaches”
6. Pain is always real, you are not doing anything wrong and I will always believe you!
