Psychotherapy Psychotherapy is a talking therapy. Usually, psychotherapy deals with people who cannot resolve the problems they have on their own; however, patients who are suffering from acute and chronic pains may also benefit from psychotherapy. Most medically unidentifiable pain or psychosomatic pain is found to be more responsive to this technique. [47] Psychotherapists are specially trained to deal with patients with unresolved pain. When a pain persists for more than 6 months, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) According to the Royal College of Psychiatrists, “CBT is a way of talking about how you think about yourself, the world and other people, and how the things you do affects your thoughts and feelings” [48] . This technique helps change the way an individual thinks and acts in certain situations. CBT concentrates on current issues and problems a person has and by finding solutions to improve the present state of mind. A person with chronic pain may find it hard to bear. He or she may get frustrated and become hopeless as the pain increases. These issues can be addressed by CBT. References 1. Injury. (n.d.).

the person feels it as a continuous pain. This pain may not wear off though they are given strong pain medication. In such cases, supportive therapy would help in managing the pain. Supportive therapy mainly encourages empathy towards the patient. The psychotherapist shares the experiences of the patient and let the patient feel that he/she is not alone. This offers a huge relief and comfort for the patient. CBT involves self-work. It incorporates tracking one’s own feelings and thoughts related to pain. Also it encourages problem solving approach. Any action to reduce pain may comfort the patient rather than sitting and thinking of pain. A good cognitive behavioral therapist must be able to guide the patient towards the target of pain relief through coping mechanisms. 25. Laufer, Y., & Dar, G. (2012, May).
