Using a Pain Journal to Improve Chronic Pain Management
httpv://youtu.be/G_3rG9S6EcM
Today I met with a friend and we were talking about living with our chronic pain. I told him one of my most valuable tools when having prolonged pain flare up periods was to get back to pain journaling. I need to use this tool periodically and I teach it to many of my chronic pain patients. I usually give them the directions you’ll see below my video. Please watch the video and then read the remainder of this post.
Effectively Using a Pain Journal
Below you will have an opportunity to gain more insights about your personal pain relationship. The main purpose is for you to gather daily written feedback regarding your internal perception (insights) of your pain condition and how you manage your pain. You will be looking for triggers (both physical and psychological/emotional or stress related) and patterns for your pain. This is your starting point for have an improved relationship with your pain.
Pain journaling is a common tool in chronic pain management and many of you have probably already been exposed to this concept. In the exercise below I’m showing you one of the pain journaling assignments I used effectively with many of my chronic pain patients. Remember, this is just one way of pain journaling—not the only way.
I’ve just recently undertaken journal writing, starting with Morning Pages as described by Julia Cameron (The Artist’s Way). Dr. Grinstead lays out some strategies to journaling to help manage our chronic pain. Worthwhile trying.

Jacqueline Goguen‘s insight:
More active approaches to retrain the brain. Learn to reduce stress to ‘wind down’ the nervous system. What we eat and how we live may really be contributing to a sensitized nervous system. Explore your personal story around the time the pain developed. Get a helping hand if you need it, set a goal and begin. Blessings, Jacqui
