Did you know? "In
developed countries chronic pain afflicts about 20% of the adult population,
particularly women and the elderly, but even children can suffer from
recurrent or persistent pain. About 30-40% suffer pain from
musculoskeletal and joint disorders. Neck and back pain accounts for
another 30%. Headache and migraine account for less than 10% of cases
of persistent pain." -- Pain Clinical Updates, September 2004-2008,
International Association for the Study of Pain
"Cognitive behaviour
therapy (CBT) is a complex multi-component treatment that can be applied to
the problem of chronic pain.... The evidence indicates that CBT is
more effective that no-treatment on a wide range of measures and at least as
effective as other treatments on some measures and superior on several of
them (Morley et al. 1999). ...the evidence for the effectiveness of
CBT for chronic pain is considerable...." Pain, Journal of the
International Association for the Study of Pain, June 2204

"Thank you so much. You have
been incredible." -- S.C. Westminster"Yes, the mind is powerful. I've decided to stop the Percoset. Thanks for all your help." -- M.J. Denver
"Hi Dr.
Colt, {Name] here. I
just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how things are going.
I've really seen a difference in my life
since our sessions. I feel I have really
gotten control over my emotions as well as my outlook on things in
general. I doubt in your field you get
enough positive response, so let me say how wonderful it was to work
with you and how big of an impact you made on my life.
You have a very warm and sincere manner
that made me feel very comfortable speaking with you. Occasionally
people find the perfect avenue for their skills. You
have done that indeed. I hope one day
our paths cross again. Who knows, maybe
I'll run into you in San Francisco. Take
care and the best to you and your family.
Deepest Regards, [Name]"
"I don't know how
often you get compliments, but...you're remarkable. Very easy to
talk to. I know the motivation I felt in all the changes I have
made came from the progress I felt even after just our first meeting.
Thank you, Dr. Colt." --B.M. Denver
"Just want to phone
and check in. I know it's after hours. Things are going good.
I have a friend who's going to be calling you. I gave her your number
since I thought you were such a great doctor. You helped me out in
just the two visits we had. -- J.K. Thorton
"Thank you
for all of your help thus far. I must say that articulating my thoughts
aloud coupled with your pointed, guided questions, has helped me
immensely."
-- U.T. Morrison
"Hi
Marshall, Just wanted to give you a quick
update on how I'm doing. First, I wanted to thank you again for all the
help you provided earlier this year. Choosing to undertake counseling
with you was the best decision I made in my life. Working through the
issues I had, understanding what those issues were...that was something
that I had never been able to do on my own. Since the sessions ended, I
have progressively made more and more progress. I still have been
emailing [Name], and although it's not been
great, I can accept that and be fine with it. Overall, everything else
has been good and I haven't had any major emotional crises since the
sessions ended. Small ones that I was able to work through on my own but
nothing big. Thanks again, and I hope
things are going well for you."
-- H.J.
"Every time I talk to you, a
little part inside of me is healing." -- R.C.
"I
certainly did appreciate your ear, as it took quite a load off my heart
and shoulders to be able to share my dilemma. Many thanks for your
unbiased perspectives and your non-judgmental counseling. I did
learn something from the encounter - what my boundaries were...what I was
prepared to handle, or not. That's a good thing." -- W.J.
Denver
"Marshall, thanks for the great reading
material, it was very inspiring! Also, I'd like to thank you for all
of the time and effort you put in for me. You've given me some great
ideas, now it's up to me to 'just do it.'" -- G.L.
"Dr.
Colt: It was a real pleasure talking with you. You appear to have some
keen insight that others before you have not. I would like to work with
you to break this "Spell" that has attached itself to my mental
well being. -- P.D.
"I've been in
counseling several times before. This is the first time I feel there're
changes taking place. Before I felt like I was just putting band-aids
on. Life is 100% better that it was 3 months ago. Being alone
is okay again. When you first told me about this process, I thought you
were nuts. Now I find myself having a lot more peace. Thank you,
Marshall" -- H.P.
"Of
all the mediocre, and less than mediocre, therapists I've seen, and I'm not
patronizing you, Marshall, you're the best therapist I've ever had." -- W.K.
" Thanks for your help, I feel much better about myself already." -- T.C.
"You were fantastic. I had
quite a bit to think about after talking to you and I greatly appreciate you
taking your time and sharing your expertise with me." -- V.A.
"...was
impressed at breadth and depth of experience." -- P.F.
"I was impressed with your
straightforward, fair, no nonsense approach. I even told my friends,
'This guy is good.'" -- D.R.
"Thanks for meeting with me on
such short notice. I felt really great after leaving your office
Wednesday night and have been feeling great ever since." -- M.B.
"I feel that it really helps me
when I see you and I do not want to wait 10 days in between appointments if
I do not have to." -- T.R.
"I walked in [your office] last
night feeling confused and uncertain. I left feeling like I had my
direction back a bit (at least a game plan). Thank you for that.
I will let you know if I should need a "tune-up" at some point.
But I want you to know that having someone you can go to in times of
difficulty is a valuable thing indeed. So thank you for that as well."
-- E.C.
"Dr. Colt - Hi, I just wanted to
say thank you for our counseling session last night. I think you did a
great job, and I feel like you can really help me. I was definitely
tense and nervous, as I've never done this before, but I want you to know
that I do feel like I can trust you, and that I think that I can become very
comfortable with you. You were right when you said that it would be
hard, but I know that it won't get better without going through the hard
stuff first. I look forward to our next session.... Thanks
again." -- S.K.
"Thanks for the confirmation.
I am happy about the coming appointment. Sounds funny to say that with
all the pain and the rest to deal with during and after and at the same
time, a relief and happiness to deal with it at last. Thanks for being
there and look forward to seeing you next week." -- G.P.
"Hi Marshall: The other night
you thanked me for being patient. Well, I just wanted to thank you
for everything you're doing. [Name] seems to be doing much
better. She seems happier than I have known her to be in a very long
time. She seems hopeful and optimistic. She really feels like
she is making progress with you specifically and her life in
general. So 'Thank You' with all my heart for helping my
lady." -- B.E.
