Navigating a relationship where you or your partner suffers from chronic pain can be very challenging. Listen to today’s show to learn more about healing your chronic pain and how to support your partner on their journey while maintaining a healthy relationship.
In this episode with Bonnie Lester we discuss relationship advice topics that include:
- The biological, social and physical impacts of pain
- Using neuroplasticity tools and exercises for chronic pain reduction
- The importance of developing a language around pain
- Keys to healing and improving chronic pain
- How to support a partner with chronic pain
- Navigating the economic challenges of chronic pain
- And much more!
With an advanced degree and specialized training in pain rehabilitation, combined with my role as a chaplain, Bonnie Lester brings both clinical expertise and spiritual support to the chronic pain journey. Bonnie personally lived with complex regional pain syndrome for 30 years, ultimately finding her path to recovery. Through life’s twists and turns including two previous marriages, she discovered that chronic pain doesn’t have to limit love and connection. Now happily remarried for 24 years, she cherishes the blessing of having both former husbands as dear friends who support her mission to help others living with chronic pain. Her story is proof that healing, love, and meaningful relationships are possible, even while navigating chronic pain.
