To be given freedom from pain vs. to find freedom from pain!
It's important to recognize that therapy and coaching represent opposite poles in the realm of personal development. In therapy, the focus is on transitioning individuals from a state of living with a problem to a state of living without that problem.
For instance, if someone has back pain, the goal is to alleviate that pain. Similarly, therapy for depression aims at alleviating the symptoms, and for cancer, it involves trying to overcome the disease.
Conventional healthcare tends to adopt a problem-focused approach, aiming to move individuals from a negative state of health to an absence of disease or symptoms. However, the World Health Organization defines health as "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
So, how did we become so fixated on being pain-free?
If you're ready to invest in your well-being, you're likely seeking more than just relief from pain.
Quick-fix solutions like massages, acupuncture, or conventional chiropractic adjustments offer immediate results but often prove temporary. If you're here, it's because you desire more than a fleeting fix.
You want answers to questions like:
- How can I manage my pain for better work productivity?
- How can I manage my pain so I can contribute to the relationship I have with my partner?
- How can I manage my pain so I can have better overall well-being/quality of life?
All of you have higher goals and aspirations, realizing that pain stands in the way of your true desires. The good news is, you're not alone. This practice is tailored for individuals like yourself.
What is coaching?
Coaching, as defined in the "Handbook of Neuroleadership" by David Rock, is about collaborating to find new solutions that guide you from point A to point B. Instead of providing solutions, we work with you to co-create your unique pain management strategy. It's an active, dynamic process where you play a central role.
Rather than giving you answers, we pose questions that help you develop clarity because you're here for more than just an easy way out.
When it comes to musculoskeletal pain, evidence-based health professionals acknowledge that education or advice isn't just delivering content. Coaching bridges the gap between being taught and actually learning.
Working with me means focusing on solutions through learning and application.
Your pain is a gift, an opportunity for change, whether you're motivated by personal or professional goals. Pain offers a chance for transformation, and the choices you make determine the outcome.
Are you seeking to be pain-free, or are you aiming for freedom from pain? In the latter, freedom becomes the goal.
