Your Healer Within

The Heart of the Matter-

What We Can Do to Help

At Your Healer Within,  we help you to identify and resolve the barriers to healing that your doctor and the other health care professionals with whom you may be working have neither the time nor in some cases the expertise to address . 

Our approach is unique among others you will find on the web.

For one thing, we work with you one on one, whether through an individual online consultation, in which you can ask us anything at all related to your pain or the changes and challenges it presents in your day to day life, or in our online "mentoring programs" where we guide and support you as you sort through and resolve the challenges you face.

We help you to determine which of your issues are most urgently in need of resolution, which ones you can dismiss or forget about for a while, and which ones simply need to be viewed from a different perspective.

We help you to use the tools that we offer- journaling, mindfulness, meditation, distraction, laughter, and relaxation to name only a few-and integrate them with your current medical plan of care so that you can focus your limited physical, emotional and spiritual resources on the challenge of healing yourself and rebuilding your life .

Some of the specific areas in which we offer guidance are:

• Relationship issues
• Financial concerns
• Challenges to mobility
• Loss of independence
• Goal Setting
• Learning to say "No!"and meaning it.
• Coping with loneliness and isolation
• Recognizing and dealing effectively with emotions
• Promoting self-esteem.....

 ..and many, many more. In fact, any issue that you face in your life with chronic pain is almost certain to be one that we have confronted at one time or another and resolved.

Unlike many other "self-help" programs, we do not choose which issues you will work on in our programs; you do.

In keeping with our philosophy of collaboration we give you as much control over the process of healing yourself as you desire, promoting from our very first interaction a sense that you are the most important member of the team that is working towards your recovery.

You will feel not only a sense of ownership of the process, but deep personal satisfaction as you begin to see changes in the areas that matter most to you.

But that’s not all.

As you start to see movement in the areas of your life that are critical to your sense of well-being, you will begin to experience small, but nevertheless perceptible, changes in your attitude towards yourself and your abilities.

You will experience increased self-confidence and a greater sense of empowerment, which will both energize and focus your efforts towards other goals and objectives.

As one success follows another, your self-esteem will grow and you will see your anxiety and fear of failure replaced with a healthy sense of power over your destiny.

You will feel less like a victim of circumstances and more in control of your life, your future, and-most importantly-your pain.

Your  life will change for the better in ways that you never expected and you will see the truth in the belief that everything in life-even this- has a purpose.  

Some other unexpected but welcome changes may include: 

• Increased self-confidence in social situations
• Developing new friendships
• An increased desire to try new skills and accept new challenges
• Awareness and acceptance of your own unique purpose in life
• A greater willingness to look objectively at yourself, your emotions and your responses to life's challenges in the context of your past experiences
