Such a great point for healthcare providers as well! So easy for us to jump too quickly into problem solving mode, when the patient often first wants to just feel heard and understood.

Excited to be jumping into this important conversation from Monreal! A bit about me: I’m a PT and an Associate Professor at McGill that is super interested in all things pain-related #CanadianPainLIVE  #CanadianPain23

A1: Suffering happens when pain disrupts fundamental aspects of who you are and how you normally navigate the world – When pain means that you can't recognize yourself or when it overwhelms your ability think, feel and move, this is suffering. #CanadianPainLIVE #CanadianPain23

Q3: I’m not a fan. While we should support personal agency over suffering, it's not helpful to think that people who are suffering would somehow choose this for themselves or that they could simply "opt out" of their suffering. #CanadianPainLIVE #CanadianPain23

A4: Building trust, communicating empathy, showing compassion = a vital foundation. Also, open questions to explore how pain has disrupted their life, while recognizing signs that pain + suffering might be presently overwhelming their capacity to talk about this #CanadianPainlive

A5: Finding ways to, even briefly, catch your breath & moments of peace. Finding (new) ways to cultivate hope, meaning & purpose in life, despite pain. Findings ways to see yourself as being valued, accepted & loved, despite the suffering you experience #noteasy #CanadianPainlive

Thanks so much for joining the conversation! Hope to connect with you all in person sometime soon! #canadianpainlive
