Welcome to the Chronic Pain Coaching site with Diane Rustand
Chronic Pain Coach
My mission, as your Chronic Pain Coach, is to:
Diane Rustand
- Support and educate you, the individual with chronic pain, and your
family so that you may live as fully as possible in spite of the pain.
- Listen carefully to everything you have to communicate about your pain and your life as a result of the pain.
- Assist you in identifying goals you would like to attain in your life.
- Stand with you as you attain the goals you set for yourself.
- Once you hire me as your coach, I\'m available to you whenever you need me, even years after our initial contact. You pay a one-time fee, not by the hour.
- Free initial consultation.
- Educate the community-including the health care community, policy
makers, and the public about issues relating to living with chronic pain.
I've spent 10+ years helping people with chronic pain.
You will benefit from what I've learned and what I continue to learn:
- Individuals with chronic pain need the support and understanding of others who experience chronic pain.
- Staying active, within realistic limits, can help you remain flexible and strong and reduce your sense of suffering.
- Learning how to relax is very important. Relaxation techniques help to prevent tension and redirect your attention to things you can control.
- You must set realistic goals and track your progress.
- Your chronic pain not only affects you, it also affects your friends and family members.
- Talking about your pain with your coach and others with similar pain conditions decreases your feelings of isolation.
- When you start to help yourself, you are on the right track.
