Hello Secondary gain has come up quite a few times over the past week or so. Its something were trained to look out for. What is it? Well, secondary gain is what happens when our problems have benefits. Afraid of birds? Well, birds are everywhere. If youre extremely socially anxious then a fear of birds would keep you inside, at home, nice and safe from crowds and strangers. Chronic back pain for which doctors are at a loss to explain? Well, perhaps it could help you avoid work and that awful boss whose bullying has so badly damaged your self esteem... Sometimes its a matter of digging beneath the problem which clients bring through the door in order to find out whats really going on. Sure, we could deal with the symptoms, the pain or the phobia. That might mean, however, that the problem returns or mutates into something else, another means of resolving the fear or insecurity which lies beneath it. Therapists trained by the NCHP dont deal with superficial symptoms alone. Were all about resolving the issue, the real issue, once and for all. Its why our training is so long. You deserve to be seen by the very best therapists. Best wishes. Paul
