In this episode, Alex and James sit down with neuropsychologist Dr Clare Kempnich to navigate the subtleties of delivering pain education to clients with cognitive impairment. While tailoring pain education is challenging on its own, layering cognitive deficits into the picture requires a much deeper, more flexible clinical approach.

Through two distinct client case studies, Alex, James, and Clare unpack how varying forms of cognitive impairment impact the pain experience. Clare reflects on each treatment plan, offering expert insights on moving past standard approaches to meet clients where they are.
