SEPI is an international, interdisciplinary organization. Our aim is to promote the development of psychotherapies that integrate theoretical orientations, clinical practices, and diverse methods of inquiry. SEPI brings practitioners and researchers together to learn from each other to an unprecedented degree. Effective psychotherapies must be rooted in both clinical and empirical exploration and therefore we facilitate collaboration between practitioner and researcher.

PAIN SCIENCE, CHRONIC PAIN AND MOVEMENT
Chronic pain can be interpreted as the brain’s fallible perception of danger, generated by the brain to protect us from a perceived threat or fear. Therefore, changing our perceptions, acquiring knowledge, adjusting beliefs, thinking or feeling differently can dramatically reduce pain. Almost everyone who has recovered from stress illness finds understanding the misconceptions of the brain illuminating. It is a physiological process, which can be enhanced by movement, developing body awareness and learning to trust the body again. The role of beliefs and emotions in affecting that ANA regulation is a fascinating and illuminating area of research. After the talk there were lots of questions and positive feedback, and it strengthened my belief that most people experiencing chronic pain are eager to learn about the regulation of the autonomic nervous system. I want to thank Chronic Pain Ireland for having me, and all the attendees for their attention and questions. You can watch a recording of the talk, it’s forty minutes, on the Chronic Pain Ireland website here it has just been uploaded on their home page, and in their online library.Tuesday 29th March 2022 CPI published my article 'Pain Science, Chronic Pain and Movement', to complement the above talk, click here to read the full screen version.
