Midway review - Te wā waenganui pū, ka whakaaroaro
This midway review will an opportunity for you to reflect on how you are engaging with the programme content and what has changed in how you manage your pain. We would love to hear about what you may have tried to do differently since beginning the group programme and how your understanding of pain has shifted.
You will find a document that provides key messages, skill practice suggestions and a short quiz for each session. Going through these will give you a good idea what has or has not landed well with you and you are welcome to bring anything this brings up for you to the discussion with the clinician.
And if you have any specific questions or matters that you have not wanted to raise in the group setting, this is an opportunity to raise them.
We want to share the summary findings of a recently published paper that summarises factors that are helpful and those that are not helpful for a large number of people managing chronic pain. Please use this to reflect on the strategies you currently use and if there is an area you want to focus on as we navigate the second half of this programme. (See Thriving with pain HE3225 pdf)
