At Sunrise Human Care Services in Darby, PA, we provide specialized treatment for individuals experiencing persistent physical symptoms that cause significant distress and impairment. Our approach begins with a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment to understand your specific symptoms, health history, and the impact of symptoms on your daily life.
We recognize that your physical symptoms are real, regardless of whether a clear medical explanation has been found. Our treatment validates your experience while helping you develop more effective ways to understand and respond to bodily sensations.
Using cognitive-behavioral therapy adapted specifically for somatic symptoms (CBT-SS), we help you identify and modify thought patterns and behaviors that may be intensifying your symptoms or contributing to functional impairment. This includes addressing catastrophic interpretations of bodily sensations, reducing hypervigilance to physical symptoms, and decreasing avoidance behaviors.
Our mind-body approach also incorporates relaxation training, mindfulness practices, and emotional awareness techniques that help regulate the nervous system and process emotions that may be expressed through physical symptoms.
