A Learning Community
This is how we make pain medication more effective.
To enhance the efficacy of a medication, many believe that we rely on pharmaceutical companies. It is true that pharmaceutical companies can create stronger medications by using new, more potent ingredients.
​
However, there is also a less known avenue to increase the effectiveness of pain medication. This can be achieved by amplifying the Contextual Healing element of pain medication (see the right bar chart), thereby enhancing the overall effect. You could say that the medication receives an additional upgrade. And the beauty of it is: this approach comes without risks, such as unwanted side effects.
These are your options
01
Open Groups
Are you alone and interested in working on your pain medication and pain in a group setting? Discover our Open Medication Groups that take place online via Teams. A new group of approximately 8 individuals starts once per quarter on Monday or Tuesday afternoons (3:30 PM - 5:00 PM). These sessions are designed for anyone living with chronic pain, using pain medication (regardless of type), and seeking to learn in a group setting.
02
Closed Groups
Are you a leader, manager, or part of a group of people taking pain medication for chronic pain? Discover our Closed Medication Groups, which can take place both online and at the group's location (client). These monthly sessions not only offer flexibility in location but also in duration. The day, time, and duration of the sessions are determined in consultation with the group. It's important to note that these groups are closed, meaning only members of the group/team/organization will participate. This ensures a confidential and personal environment to work on addressing pain.
Get more pain relief through your medication ritual.
In the medication program, we expand the ritual of taking pain medication with evidence-based interventions that provide additional pain relief beyond the medication's effect. In a personalized coaching program, we apply the four Contextual Healing themes to your pain medication. Using medication as a tool, you will regain confidence in your body's pain-relieving capabilities.
5 sessions over 5 months
The process begins with a non-committal intake, followed by a comprehensive introductory session and four substantive sessions spread over four months. For additional support, we also provide an optional follow-up six months after completing the program. The group sessions themselves last 1.5 hours.
Medication and Pain Education
We recognize the importance of education as an intervention for persistent pain, as recommended by official guidelines. However, it's noteworthy that less than 4% of patients have received this education. Therefore, education is a crucial component of our treatment program. We aim to provide our patients with comprehensive pain and medication knowledge, enabling them to gain better insight into their situation and recovery.
Professional workbooks
Between sessions, clients actively engage with their medication ritual using our four professional workbooks. These workbooks include education, application questions, challenging assignments, and brain exercises. This hands-on approach enhances the learning process and contributes to a more effective ritual for potent pain medication.
Behavioral Psychology
In our pursuit of making medication more effective, we recognize that behavioral change plays a crucial role, especially in altering our medication ritual. However, we understand that changing behavior is easier said than done. Therefore, we place special emphasis on behavioral psychology insights in your treatment program.
Our approach to changing the brain requires dedication, time, and willpower from both our clients and our team. We encourage potential clients to self-assess if the current moment is right for such a journey. We hope you understand that timing is crucial for a successful experience, and it might not be ideal at the moment, but could be in the future. When the time is right, schedule an obligation-free intake.
Standard price: €250 p.p.
Determine afterwards what you found the program to be worth.
Our aim is to make Pain-Changer Medication Groups accessible to everyone. Therefore, we employ a flexible payment system. The standard price for this program is 250 euros, but we believe in the value of the experience. After completing the program, you can determine its worth. If your appreciation differs from our standard price, we will refund the difference. Interested in learning more? Schedule a non-binding intake; we'd be happy to engage in a conversation with you.
