Inspiration and Education

Putting together the comprehensive approach-another example
                                              Putting It Together
 For example: 
{and this is purely and complete fictitious}
-say a famous male ice skater
      Presenting Symptoms
- chronic pain
-on many addictive meds
--and childhood abuse from his mom,
-plus a body dysmorphia,
-and recovering{5 years} anorexic.
-depression with suicidal thoughts
-fast cycling mood shifts;
-avoidant to sad to shame and anger.
         Social Problems Are:
-He has no current job,
-pain,depression,addiction
 make work functioning "impossible"
-poor finances
-a failing relationship,                                     
         The workup and treatment plan would be, after consults:
-A treatment team of a psychiatrist-
-and pain and addiction management MDs
- a central DBT therapist
  and psycho dynamically oriented therapist,
  who is also case manager or team leader{the dialectic}
- acupuncture/or Felton specialists for the pain
   { seems to be that chronic pain often connects to"abuse centers"can't say,
   that this correlation resembles Vedic or Oriental concepts, but at some
    point we may have empirical evidence that unifies medicine and healing]
-A DBT group 
- a gentle dietician,
plus job training or school for skating
or sport career.
          Positive ongoing recovery:
A new spirit and gratitude for a new start
that breaks the negative conditioning, 
processes the PTSD and
regulates and unravels the complexes over time .
Then we have a functional creative person in the moment 
grateful and accepting that life and relationships have pain,
but it is OK.
Some things are harder than others
but there is hope with hard work,motivation and help.
