inescapable way of life that distorts perception and produces and thoughts feelings behaviors While these dynamics seem to occur in patterns the individual methods for coping with them differ from person to endurance and person Recognition resistance to pain varies significantly based on an individual’s physical and emotional status Some appear to have a disposition which enables them to deal more effectively with pain and stress Their ability to utilize various coping strategies seems to be inherent in their personalities often having developed successful techniques as children Laurel Archer Copp PhD in an effort to expand our understanding of pain and to clarify the relationship between self image and the management of pain has identified five unique copvictim combatant ing categories: and interactor reactor responder Each of these perceives pain differently The“victims” see pain as all powerful and overwhelming They feel unable to cope with it Alone and suffering they often view the world as a dangerous and untrustworthy place in which it is futile to attempt to develop coping strategies The “combatants” are fighters and see pain as an invader It is something to confront and to overcome It tests them They see themselves as survivors They take control and use medicine and professional staff to treatment meet the enemy much as a general might coordinate his troops Ineffectiveness is not tolerated well and results in anger and frustration The “responders” see pain from a realistic point of view Neither victim nor soldier they recognize that pain is be dealt with to simply something Responders tend to be very introspective and tend to ponder and analyze the effect that pain has on them They are often creative and synthesize this experience into books poetry music and painting The “reactors” see pain as something to be outwitted They vatch and wait for signals of oncoming pain and then utilize techniques they have practiced to counteract it They are very much in tune with their bodies and as a result are able to anticipate pain before it happens The ”interactors”see pain as being and intense They very demanding reach out to those around them seeking their assistance in coping with the pain and even making contracts or arrangements for their assistance when the pain occurs in the future In that way they bond with their helpers admire them and communicate their effectiveness to others With chemical dependency as with life in general pain serves specific purposes It identifies that something is wrong and emphasizes that attention must be directed toward problem resolution It keeps us moving For without pain there is no change Without change there is no growth And without growth we are forever limited So don’t the pain as accept something you are stuck with Understand that you can do something about it Life is too short not to Check out some of the chemical dependency treatment centers in this area Ward Julie
