When the Work Isn't Working: 5 Reasons You May Still Be Stuck
About this episode
The episode discusses five common reasons individuals may feel stuck in their chronic pain recovery despite their efforts.
You've done the work. You've read the books, tried the tools, and still feel stuck. In the Season 2 premiere of the PRT Podcast, new host Daniel Lyman, LCSW, joins clinician Gabrielle Jacobs for When the Work Isn't Working: 5 Reasons You May Still Be Stuck — exploring five of the most common and most overlooked reasons people stall in chronic pain recovery. From waiting to feel safe before acting, to living with intensity, to identity fusion with a diagnosis, this conversation is honest, practical, and genuinely useful for patients and practitioners alike. Getting stuck doesn't mean you're doing it wrong. It means there is another layer to look at.
