Rethinking Pain

Your Story

The idea that telling your story can be part of how you approach managing your persistent pain may be a new idea for most people. But most of us feel more valued when we’re listened to and heard.

Storytelling plays a big part in our relationships with friends and family, and on a larger scale, our societies and cultures. Storytelling is a powerful way to learn about the world, other people and ourselves.

We listen and share stories in our regular day-to-day lives, whether that’s keeping up with news, watchinga movie or a chat with a friend. Stories also help us learn about how we relate to our pain, those around us and the environments we are in.

What to expect in this workshop:

• A fun, friendly session, providing a great way to meet other people in an informal group
• Looking at ways we can use stories to explore pain and how it makes us feel
• Using a range of audio and visual tools, we’ll help you to tell your story in a simple, interesting and interactive way.
