Sinéad Dufour (PhD, clinical professor, clinician, researcher) presented at PelviCon and I especially appreciated listening to her speak about the importance of a biopsychosocial-spiritual approach in pelvic rehab and the link between pelvic floor dysfunction and low back pain. I also found out that Sinéad and I have a mutual passion: Bringing "Love" into rehab! The time has come to start discussing the role of love in healing and pain care. When one of the world's leading pain researcher, pain scientist and neuroscientist, Lorimer Moseley, was asked if there was one key message for people in pain, what would it be? He responded: “To love and be loved” Sinéad and I are passionate about this topic within the context of rehab and pain care. In chapter 14 (Compassion in Pain Care) of our book, I quote Humberto Maturana’s definition of love: “the act of allowing another to be a legitimate other.” And to that, I say, it is proper and useful to cultivate loving relationships with our patients. More on this topic soon. Stay tuned!

Foundational Benefits of Therapeutic Presence ✨ Therapeutic presence is a way of being that optimizes the doing and techniques of therapy. Growing research is demonstrating therapeutic presence as a common factor to a strong therapeutic alliance and outcome. Presence provides clients with a sense of safety, allowing them to be seen, heard, understood, and “feel felt,” while also strengthening the therapeutic relationship so they can engage in effective therapeutic work. TP invites therapists to balance presence and compassion within themselves and with clients, ensuring they remain centered and effective even in the face of difficult emotions. This type of relationship helps regulate clients' emotions and supports their movement towards emotional health and neurophysiological integration. Practicing TP also sustains clinicians' vitality, connection, and effectiveness. For more information about therapeutic presence and/or to participate in an upcoming workshop on Cultivating Therapeutic Presence led by Dr. Geller on May 9 & 10, 2024, please visit: https://lnkd.in/gfnkRCsM

The field of pain medicine is at an inflection point, analogous to interventional cardiology 35 years ago. Rapid progress in both interventional diagnostic and therapeutic options (coupled with consistently poor outcomes with conservative care) has catalysed the ascent of the IPM specialty. The webinar is the best way to learn about the specialty and the fellowships #chronipainfellowship #painmedicine #IPM #chronicpain #neuromodulation
