Pain and Me: Tamar Pincus talks about chronic pain, acceptance and commitment

[johnj]

I'm a pain management doc. This is the the very, very best explanation of ACT I have ever encountered!! I intend to share this with my chronic pain patients. Thanks, Dr. Pincus, for your brilliant video!! 😊👍

[agnes]

I came here as a healthcare professional working with patients in pain. I left as a patient with tears in my eyes thinking about my own pain, adding to my life and making myself "bigger." Thank you so much for this, I'll definitely be sharing it with my fellow persistent pain warriors.

I've shown this to several of my patients who are living with chronic/persistent pain and they can connect with it and relate to it. Thank you, Tamar.

So beautiful! A fast way to say how the pain changes you and how you have to fight everyday to be you again! Or just a reminder to you that your excruciating pain is not gonna go anywhere and that sometimes even though the pain is bigger of yourself you still there, one is a part of the other. And in the process you learning that you are nothing like you were before, but still is...Is a different person, a resilient one, that fights everyday to be a bigger and brighter yourself!

Thank you for creating this. I have watched it several times and find it helpful in communicating when working with individuals struggling with persistent pain.

Brilliant!

This succint representation not only explains the struggles with initially trying to eliminate pain, but also provides hope, and a road map for a more comfortable life journey.

Thank you

Oh my...this made me cry, because it is so true.

What a wonderful video. Thanks a lot Tamar for allowing us to apply German subtitles and use it for patient education 😀

[edoreilly]

Well done that is an amazing analogy. I love this video even though I’m not someone in extreme pain but I suppose it applies to any difficulties that are fairly steadfast.

[chrismain]

This works. I don't know how it works; I don't know why it works. I am not even sure what is working. But it works!

[emcalifornia]

WOW! Amazing and very well explained! 👏🏻

[danielledouchet]

I would love to use this for our Persistent Pain Program. It's a lovely way to explain it.

[rebecavieira]

Thank you very much. Very didactic. A beautiful way to spread knowledge !

[aldele]

This is me thank you I'm not alone 😔

I'd like to translate the subtitles in french, but for some reason this option is not available. Could you open this video to translations ? Thanks !
