Training Description:
Pain affects 1/3 of the adult population. Pain is pervasive and interrupts functioning. Pain also shifts mood and often erupts into angry outburst. Pain medication can be addictive and may progress into illegal, unregulated Opioid usage. The approaches in this workshop are non- addictive ways to aid in releasing pain safely. Thus, helping family members have a safe way to release pain, to stay away from potential addiction, and out of proportion anger is useful for the entire family, promotes more normalcy, and is an aid in the battle against the opioid epidemic. Main points of this training will include: scope of practice, effects of acute and chronic pain on mental health and EFT techniques to safely reduce pain. These methods may be useful in Relapse Prevention.
