Question 1

Where will classes be held?

Accepted Answer

In the conference room at Brookhaven Counseling and Wellness, located at 2578 W 600 N Ste 102, Lindon, UT 84042

Question 2

How much is the class and do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

The cost is $75 per class, totaling $600 to be paid before the start of the course. This is currently a cash-pay program, but we will be taking HSA as well. Because of the unique group format, insurance is not billed.

Question 3

What ages are best for this program?

Accepted Answer

We welcome any adult looking for change! Ages can range from 18-100 years old. It's best to do an intake assessment with one of the facilitators to make sure this program is a good fit

Question 4

Will this make me pain free?

Accepted Answer

This class is designed to help decrease disability and improve quality of life more than merely taking away pain. The likelihood of a person that has been in chronic pain for years becoming completely pain free is low. The likelihood of having a meaningful life with a manageable amount of pain is considerably high.

Question 5

Is this physical therapy or counseling?

Accepted Answer

It's both--but its neither traditional PT nor traditional therapy.The program combines evidence-based pain science, movement, nervous system education, and psychological skills in one supportive group setting. You'll learn practical tools from both disciplines.

Question 6

Will we be exercising?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but not like a fitness class.You'll participate in gentle movement and activities designed to desensitize your pain alarm system. The goal is to help your nervous system become less protective--not to "push through the pain". The wonderful aspect about this class is you are 100% in charge of how much movement and activity you want to do and how much you can pass on.

Question 7

Is this a support group?

Accepted Answer

No. While participants encourage one another, this is an educational, skills-based program with structured lessons and practical exercises each week.

Question 8

My scans show damage in my body. Can this still help?

Accepted Answer

Yes.Many people with structural changes on imaging experience significant improvements in pain and function by addressing how the nervous system processes pain. The program doesn't ignore your body--it helps you understand the whole picture.

Question 9

Is this program going to say my pain is all in my head?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not.Pain is produced by the brain, but that doesn't mean it's imagined. Just as vision is created by the brain but the world is still real, pain is a real experience influenced by the body, nervous system, emotions, stress, sleep, and many other factors.

Question 10

Do I need a referral?

Accepted Answer

No referral is required.

Question 11

I already have a therapist or PT. Will this compete?

Accepted Answer

No, it will be complimentary.Often times people find helpful insights in class that they can address one-on-one with their personal physical therapist or mental health therapist. This will accelerate your process with those practitioners, not hinder or compete with it.
