SUMMARY:WDVA Workshop: Chronic Pain\, Trauma\, and Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Time: 9:00pm-4:00pm \nLocation: Virtual \nInstructor: Matthew Jakupcak\, Ph.D. \nCE credits: 6 CE’s (pending) \nCourse Description: \nThis workshop highlights for learners the prevalence and high rate of comorbidity between chronic pain and trauma-related reactions such as PTSD\, depression\, and health-related anxiety\, particularly among veteran populations. Theoretical mutual-maintenance models (Asmundson\, Coons\, Taylor & Katz\, 2002; Sharp & Harvey\, 2001) are helpful for clinicians to understand how these two conditions interact to create a “vicious cycle” of arousal and avoidance\, where physical pain\, bodily vigilance and cued trauma reactions reinforce one another\, leading to significant disability and reduced quality of life. \nDr. Jakupcak will present information specific to the interrelationships between chronic pain and trauma\, including posttrauma reactions such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)\, depression\, and healthy anxiety. In addition\, Dr. Jakupcak will review the applications evidence-based treatments that can address both chronic pain functioning and common co-occurring mental health conditions\, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)\, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)\, and Behavioral Activation (BA). \n Objectives: \nAt the end of this training participants will: \nBe able to describe theoretical frameworks where PTSD symptoms (like hyperarousal and avoidance) increase pain sensitivity and bodily vigilance\, informing greater disability and impairment. (Mutual Maintenance Models)\nLearn about specific evidence-based therapies such as CBT\, ACT and BA to help patients re-engage in life activities despite pain and stress. This course emphasizes “valued living”—moving toward what matters rather than just “fixing” symptoms. (Breaking the Cycle)\nDevelop strategies for addressing specific common hurdles to recovery such as opioid use\, sleep disturbances\, and the “numbing” symptoms of trauma and PTSD that often interfere with traditional pain rehabilitation.
