Empowered Relief

Empowered Relief® is a single-session (2-hour) class that equips patients with greater chronic pain knowledge and effective pain relief skills. Empowered Relief was developed by Beth Darnall in 2013 at the Stanford University School of Medicine and has been shown in multiple studies to decrease chronic pain in those who complete the course and implement its teachings.

In the Reproductive Psychology Program this class is held via Zoom the second Wednesday of each month from 6pm-8pm by certified instructor Caryn Lindsey, LCSW, PMH-C.

This class is intended for those with Endometriosis and other related diagnoses responsible for chronic pain.

We encourage you to bring a friend or family member with you!
