There are two distinct migraine questions:
  1. Are you a long term migraineur?
  2. Does being a migraine sufferer limit what is possible in your life?
Only pain reduction can alter your answer to the first question. Have pain reduction alternatives worked permanently for you, or not? 
What about life's possibilities in your world, a world which is constantly interrupted by the onset of migraine symptoms? Starting now, the possibilities and options that you have can start to grow.
In the last two decades, a major new field called Positive Psychology has emerged. Practitioners work with people like you to highlight and further build three crucial areas:
  • Positive emotions
  • Character strengths
  • Meaning
In study after study, and in a variety of settings, positive psychologists have helped people to 
  • become more engaged with life
  • have more hope and optimism, and
  • live in more meaningful ways.
My coaching practice is oriented around the principles of positive psychology.
I'm excited to tell you that, starting this fall, I will offering economical, interactive group seminars that will help you utilize positive psychology to expand both who you can be and what you can do.


Be well,

Gerry Fryer, MA, ACC

And once the storm is over you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. 
But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in. 
That’s what the storm’s all about...

                                                                                                                -- Haruki Murakami 
Many of us who experience migraine again and again think about in in images. This picture captures the calm after the storm. The thunderclouds drift away and calm returns to the inner and outer landscape. It is a time for peace and creativity, regeneration and the search for life's possibilities.

Inevitably, for the episodic migraine sufferer, another storm will approach. The cycle of pain and suffering will repeat itself. The Migraine Independence Program will help you break the pattern of suffering. Rather than applying your mind to thoughts of the storms to come, you will be able to appreciate the calm waters above.
