I'm Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired RANT....Says Who?.....

The program "Living with Chronic Pain - A Patient's Perspective" (LCP) is a program that I wrote and developed over the years of my personal journey with my pain. The program includes several behavioural strategies l learned while in college and later implemented while supporting clients during my career. I wrote the program more as a way to help myself, a working tool I could use to help manage my pain and my life with pain. I have had the program read and critiqued by three specialists in their individual fields before sharing pieces of it with you.

While having the program reviewed I was told by a Psychiatrist that I was not qualified to write the program and that with the qualifications I do have, I shouldn't have been able to write it at all. I've got to say that I just love it when people tell me things I shouldn't be doing or shouldn't be able to do! It's usually the first thing I will go and do next just to prove you wrong. I was a handful as a child and can honestly say as an adult...I'm still a handful.
Although I may not be "qualified" to have written this program, meaning I'm not a doctor,  the LCP program has been compared to similar programs offered through Stanford University and various pain clinics. It has also been compared to a book  written by the famous Mayo Clinic. 

I'm sharing this part of my life with you because we are often told we "shouldn't" be able to do certain things in life , or that we just simply "can't" do them. I'd like to ask....says who? 

What have you done in your life someone told you wouldn't or shouldn't be able to do? We are often more capable than we believe ourselves to be and definitely more capable than others give us credit for. Don't let what someone else thinks hold you back when something is important to you. 

Who dictates what we should or shouldn't do in our lives? WE do!!
