How OICBT Helps With Chronic Pain
Chronic pain often involves a complex interaction between physical symptoms, stress, emotions and behaviour that can affect functioning, mood and overall quality of life. OICBT provides evidence-based support for chronic pain through care that is matched to your needs, goals and preferences. The clinic uses a personalized intake process to recommend a strong service fit, and OICBT clinician profiles identify chronic pain, complex pain, chronic illness adjustment and health psychology concerns as relevant areas of focus. Depending on fit, care may include individual therapy, health psychology support and home/community supports when appropriate.
- Care is collaborative, client-centred and guided by research-informed recommendations.
- Treatment may draw on CBT, ACT, DBT, Schema Therapy, mindfulness-based approaches and health psychology strategies.
- Goals may include symptom relief, practical skills, resilience, relationships, daily functioning and values-based action.
