Pain journeys
Lessons that help you understand your pain experience.
lessonContinuing on your pathLast time, you learned a metaphor about the dedication and patience that goes into honoring values. Some values are easy to honor, and others take more time and can bring along unhelpful passengers. This time, we’ll look back at all the things you’ve learned in this program and help you make a plan to keep going. The app will be available for 12 weeks, starting from the day you installed it. We encourage you to continue to use Vareza daily and return to anything you’ve found helpful. This can be time well spent. Rehearsing new skills can help us master them so they become natural habits that show up when we need them.
