Elisa Friedlander is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Currently unable to practice due to a painful neuro-inflammatory disorder, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and complicated genetic spine problems, she facilitates Chronic Pain Support Groups and advocates for people with pain and disability. Elisa believes that pain and humor must play nicely together, and that quality of life with severe pain is possible. Elisa loves living in beautiful Southern Oregon with her wife and best friend (one in the same) and their irresistible rescue dog, Zakai. A baby elephant would complete the picture. More of her story and other writing can be seen on her blog at https://www.ElisaFriedlander.com/blog.
