Holistic Approach to Pain: Shift Focus and Reclaim Your Life
Holistic Approach to Pain: Shift Focus and Reclaim Your Life


Living with chronic pain can make everything seem harder. In my case, I was tired of waking up in pain every day, organizing life around my limitations, and wasting money on treatments that didn’t seem to make a difference — or came with unwanted side effects and risks. I was tired of being tired.
If pain is your constant companion and you just want to feel well enough to do the things you love, you’re not alone. I’m Paula K. Dumas, author and advocate for people in pain. What I’ve learned — from both my own journey with chronic pain and the thousands of people I’ve worked with — is that although pain will test you in every way, it doesn’t have to keep you on the sidelines of life. Our pain demands a better solution. Join me to find meaning, relief, and wholeness on your journey with chronic pain.
Through the written and audio lessons in this course, I’m going to guide you through what I call the five stages of conditional pain: Fighting, Fearing, Isolation & Depression, Acceptance, Recovery & Purpose.
Understanding these stages will help you tune in to the most supportive mindset for each step of your journey. It’s not easy, but once you can see exactly where you are, you’ll be better able to meet your pain with resilience, wholeness, and grace. And if you’re as fortunate as I am, you’ll begin to find purpose in your pain.
The journey we’ll embark on in this course is about so much more than relief — though that’s certainly part of it. At its heart, this program is about understanding how your pain can point you toward your soul purpose. Because when you live out your purpose, life gets better.
The concepts in this course may feel challenging at times, emotionally or physically. But I don’t want you to lose hope. I understand what it’s like to live with frequent pain, and I know that your pain can help you unlock a happier, more fulfilling life. That’s the blessing I want for each of you.
