Think Positive, Feel Better: You have more power than you think 

Gain a new perspective on pain management with positive thinking!

Recently, an article summarized an experiment that Positive Psychologist Dr. Barbara Fredrickson conducted to determine the impact negative and postive thoughts have on imformation processing. The result was the difference in responses among the participants who viewed film strips to stimulate positive, negative, or neural emotions. Participants in the positive groups wrote down a higher number of actions than the neutral and negative group, leading to the discussion of how positive emotions open a sense of possibilities.

In 2006, the Slone Epidemiology Center at Boston University reported a pattern of 82% of American adults take at least one medication and 29% take five or more

Ian Blei, director of Optimized Results will share the how's and why's positive thinking can make an impact in pain management. He will discuss the easy ways for managing pain and feeling better.
