“The mind-body connection is fierce,” says Christina P. Kantzavelos, a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in chronic illness and pain at Begin Within Today, in San Diego. “It’s important to keep in mind that pain literally originates in the brain. I use a Constructed Awareness approach with clients and bring curiosity to the pain they are experiencing, including headaches. What thoughts and emotions are coming up when they focus on the pain?” she says. “Physical symptoms are often the manifestation or tangible evidence of what is going on in your unconscious mind. Our bodies become stronger or weaker, depending on our emotional state. Fear, self-criticism and invalidating the self can be the root of a headache.”​​​​​​​​

• Do I feel safe talking about anything?

• Do I feel completely comfortable?

• Do I feel supported?

• Are my goals, and treatment plan being revisited as needed?

• Do I feel like I'm meeting the goals created in my treatment plan?

• Do I still feel like this is leading to personal growth?
