Thank you @rwinney for your reply. Sorry that it had taken me a few days to get back to you. I would like to respond to your questions. I have not joined the Facebook group with graduates as I do not participate in Facebook but I may consider it. You have asked about my top areas of change and improvement. I would like to share a few.
I have to say that high on the list has been conquering imsomnia without medication. I have followed every step of the cognitive behavioral approach I was taught during the PRC program. Very successful and helpful in using all of the other tools for pain management very much needed to deal with difficult days.
Other significant areas and helpful PRCisms I learned:
— biofeedback, breathing and learning to relax.
—pull in the view finder
—don’t catastrophize
—hurt does not equal harm
—moderate—I am constantly
learning how to handle and accept my limitations by using the tools I was given in the PRC program. Without this program I would never have learned that I am able and capable of pushing through the most difficult days.
Forever grateful to Dr Sletten and his caring professional team.
