  1. The problem with this approach is that it can be used to invalidate patients and essentially tell them that it is all in their mind. You were abused as a child? You were tired and stressed? Well, that debilitating pain that you suffer from, that's coming from your mind. It's real, sure but it's really just in your head and you have to figure it out. That can be tremendously invalidating. Every time medicine makes progress and discovers a new approach that approach becomes the hammer and the problem becomes the nail, in other words that approach becomes the only approach instead of becoming one of a number approaches. This doctor operates under the assumption that chronic pain is in your mind. For some people it may be and for that reason this approach is a good one but if you apply it as the one tool to solve all chronic pain problems you're going to continue to do more harm than good. All you had to do, all you needed was to have compassion for yourself when you were in your twenties and it's amazing! The pain disappeared! Yes, that is amazing. It isn't entirely believable. For some that might be the case but applying this to every case of chronic pain does patients a disservice. Some elements of this approach are probably applicable in most cases but treating it as the one and only way to solve this problem, that in itself is a problem. It should be part of a suite of approaches tailored to the specific patient.
