Multi-week Course | Registration closed 11/10/2024
In this course you will learn:
- What is pain, why we have it, and how it works
- How to distinguish the physical and emotional aspects of pain
- How to identify and monitor the conditions that tend to increase and decrease pain throughout the day
- How to observe thoughts and emotions, in particular those related to fear, as they affect the intensity and duration of pain
- How to be aware of unpleasant experiences in general, not only the experience of pain, as they tend to trigger a sense of aversion in the mind

- Five weekly sessions live, online, via Zoom; each session lasts 2.5 hours
