The crow, a longtime symbol of resilience, embodies the spirit of those who live with chronic pain and mental health challenges.
In this flock, we raise awareness, spread knowledge, and demand change.
As a graduate student in a Clinical Mental Health Counseling (CMHC) program, I bring not only academic knowledge but also lived experience that informs my understanding of the complexities of chronic pain/ high-impact chronic pain and mental health.
I see you.
And, like you, I know firsthand how overwhelming struggling with mental health and chronic pain can be.
Trapped in an exhausting cycle….
…Or, Maybe Not
Perhaps you’re just curious, and that is okay too. I just hope that you will take the time to learn about how chronic pain and mental health can be related.
Caws For Advocacy
Chronic pain can intensify mental health struggles, while mental health challenges can make pain harder to manage.
Trauma and unresolved emotional issues can contribute to the pain and stress cycle, especially when structural abnormalities have been ruled out.
Understanding this cycle emphasizes the need for holistic, integrated treatment that addresses the whole person, not just their symptoms.
