“Pain has always been a song line in the musical score of human lives. Too often, pain’s sound becomes harsh and dissonant concealing the many other melodies of our lives and too many clinician healers lack the framework and resources to help. Finally, we are being offered instruments and notes showing us ways to harmonize and integrate pain’s song line back into healthy meaning. Engage this course material and learn to compose music of hope.”

“With chronic pain an epidemic in this country and one that has been only exacerbated by this time of increased stress, this online series couldn’t be more timely or relevant. All healthcare providers will benefit from the program and more importantly, our patients who are suffering and looking for guidance on non-medication options.”
