WORKSHOP #5: A Mind-Body Approach to Address Chronic Pain and Co-Existing Disorders | PRESENTED BY Steve Grinstead, M.A.

The landscape of chronic pain treatment continues to evolve and change as we wean ourselves off the traditional biomedical approach that often over-emphasizes harmful opioid-based pain management interventions. In this presentation you will learn the unique challenges and obstacles that face chronic pain patients suffering with their pain and coexisting disorders, including medication misuse abuse or addiction. By understanding these unique challenges, you will discover that it requires an integrated, collaborative, and concurrent Body-Mind-Spirit team approach to achieve the best possible treatment outcomes.

Join chronic pain management international expert, Dr. Stephen F. Grinstead, for this dynamic interactive presentation. You will obtain the proper understanding, skills and treatment techniques you need to address the neurobiological psychological/emotional, social and Spiritual aspects of chronic pain when traditional biomedical interventions are no longer a viable option. By attending this presentation, you will discover how common coexisting disorders and family dynamics can also sabotage treatment – and what to do about it. You will learn how to develop a synergistic treatment plan incorporating the mind, body and spirit for healing as well as strategies to empower clients to be proactive in their healing process.

WORKSHOP #8: Effective and Strategic Intervention Plans to Reduce Relapse Episodes| PRESENTED BY Steve Grinstead, M.A.

This interactive presentation is for professional healthcare clinicians who want to learn how to assist their clients to identify and manage the progressive warning signs and high risks situations that lead to alcohol or other drug (AOD) relapse despite a commitment to sobriety. You will learn that relapse is a process not an event and that there are many identifiable warning signs and high-risk situations that occur far in advance of their AOD use.  Valuable tools will be introduced that will enable you to assist your clients to take the mystery out of the relapse process and develop a strategic relapse prevention plan.  You will learn how to utilize and personalize the “Relapse Cycle” and “Relapse Autopsy” processes to better help your clients in preventing a future relapse cycle.

You will also learn how to develop an early relapse intervention plan (R.I.P.). Then you will be led through a strategic step by step high risk situation identification process.  The process ends with teaching participants to help clients finalize a relapse prevention plan designed to help them better identify and manage future warning signs and high-risk situations. This workshop includes a combination of lectures, and interactive group discussions, designed to enhance the training process.

WORKSHOP #5: A Mind-Body Approach to Address Chronic Pain and Co-Existing Disorders | PRESENTED BY Steve Grinstead, M.A.

  • Investigate two or more reasons why the biomedical approach alone may be ineffective for the subset of chronic pain clients with coexisting disorders and why they often achieve poor outcomes.
  • Develop a treatment plan that helps clients let go of suffering and adequately addresses the biological, psychological/emotional, social/family and Spiritual symptoms of their pain.
  • Differentiate between the physiological and psychological/emotional symptoms of pain and learn appropriate management strategies for both types.

WORKSHOP #8: Effective and Strategic Intervention Plans to Reduce Relapse Episodes| PRESENTED BY Steve Grinstead, M.A.
