Navigating the Language of Pain


Available until October 17, 2021
Picture
Sharna Prasad, DPT
Course Description: 
Language is the method of human communication. The language of pain is the communication between our clients and our providers. We as providers are sometimes missing the key words used, the metaphors that are telling a story, the body language that is sharing their emotions. We will explore through storytelling and humor how the language of pain once heard can be reconceptualized with compassion and humanity.

Hours: 1 hr

Price: $29 | $18 for WASHAA Members

Objectives:
  • Identify the value of metaphors used by their clients.
  • Determine which word to explore in their client’s narrative that will give them an insight to their story.
  • Appraise and assess role of the language of pain in learning and future behaviors.
