On-Line Support

Many People with chronic pain and that includes emotional pain, are too overwhelmed to get help. Try on-line help resources.

Our children learn from us. No matter how well-intentioned we are, we end up passing on non-verbal cues. Children who have a parent with anxiety are far more likely to have anxiety.

In order to work on anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, you need coping tools. These tools are often not available to people who have grown up in dysfunctional families. Usually dysfunctional parents will have come from homes with their own dysfunction.

Before you can tackle PTSD, you need coping tools – a toolbox of skills that can help you manage your problems, be it drinking, drugs, overeating. These are all abnormal tools we use to manage our emotional pain. Tools to numb our feelings. Try to find mental health resources / groups. There are on – line programs
