The book, Recrafting a Life: Solutions for Chronic Pain and Illness is the product of an integrative psychotherapy approach, research project, and workshop dedicated to finding solutions for individuals suffering from chronic pain and chronic illness. Chronic illness and chronic pain conditions are among the least responsive to conventional medical treatment and therefore one of the most serious challenges to our health care system today.

Recrafting a Life: Solutions for Chronic Pain and Illness directly addresses this daunting challenge by presenting a treatment approach that creatively integrates powerful Ericksonian hypnosis and hypnotherapy interventions with effective Solution-focused therapy approaches. The purpose of this website is to introduce both health professionals and their patients to our treatment approach and the book.

Resource-focused and rooted firmly in self-care theory, this integrative approach enables patients (and their caregivers) to effectively reduce physical pain and suffering while successfully addressing the psychological issues that inevitably accompany chronic physical conditions.

The remainder of this website presents our clinical approach, philosophy, and a wide variety of resources for healthcare professionals and their patients challenged by chronic pain and chronic illness.
