Dr. Pohl:
We found in the course of treating people with chronic pain that simply responding to pain, which has to be done, is missing the boat. So what we really are looking at is treating suffering, and it makes the most sense to treat the experience of suffering from a variety of different angles holistically.
I am a medical physician. I believe in the use of medications judiciously, but really, spiritual condition, emotional health, mental approach to the thoughts about the experience of pain and, in addition to the physical experience of pain, all sum up to make the whole process of pain modifiable in a healthy way.
