Eric has a great way of understanding how the mind works while in a great deal of pain. What I appreciate most is how he works to understand how your mind is working/not working while you are in pain, or living in fear of the pain. Always trying and thinking of ways to best help you, he makes it very personal. At first I didn't understand much the difference from a therapist and pain management therapist but they are different. It is different and it is very helpful in providing mental tools in assisting in the day to day pain.
