Relaxation-Based Pain Relief
Pain relief medications provide tremendous benefits for patients and clients in clinical care. However, the huge societal problems we face with opioid addiction, as well as other considerations including drug contraindications and allergic reactions, demonstrate the obvious need for pain relief without drugs. Empirical neuroimaging support for relaxation-based relief processes is extremely strong. Competent professional use of these techniques in clinical settings requires a solid understanding of how these processes operate, and the development of the skill necessary for real-world use with clients and patients in clinical practice. Training in Relaxation-Based Pain Relief provides this knowledge and practical skill for licensed mental health and medical practitioners.
