Creating Psychologically-Informed Pain Practices: Beyond the Basics

Описание: Join renowned pain educator Laura Rathbone in this essential Clinical Discussion on integrating psychological principles into pain practice without overstepping professional boundaries. Laura, a specialist physiotherapist working with complex chronic pain patients in Amsterdam and ACT trainer, addresses the gap most clinicians face: knowing psychology matters but struggling with practical implementation.

Whether you're uncertain about recognising psychological factors or worried about "opening a can of worms," this session provides concrete frameworks for becoming more psychologically aware while staying within your scope of practice.
What You'll Learn:

How to recognise psychological factors through behaviour patterns rather than diagnostic labels
Practical ACT principles you can integrate into pain consultations immediately
Essential techniques for managing trauma responses and emotional overwhelm safely
How to work with hope, resistance, and psychological flexibility in clinical practice
Where to start your journey toward psychologically-informed practice
The difference between being psychologically aware vs. providing psychological treatment
