Pain Catastrophizing Class
A 2-hour class that will be delivered by a clinical psychologist to participant cohorts. Didactic content includes psychoeducation about opioid use, the risk for misuse, and opioid reduction education materials. Pain Catastrophizing Class: A 2-hour class that will be delivered by a clinical psychologist to participant cohorts. Didactic content includes psychoeducation about opioid use, the risk for misuse, and opioid reduction education materials. It will also include mind-body science as it relates to pain and PC. Participants learn how to identify catastrophizing in the moment, and how to self-treat it. During the class, participants acquire skills and develop a plan to apply the learned skills to decrease physiological hyperarousal within the context of PC. Participants also acquire skills that improve the regulation of cognition and emotion, including PC reframing and thought restructuring, and develop a plan for implementing these skills in daily life. Finally, participants develop a plan to use behaviors that modulate attention and counteract helplessness.
Health Education
A 2-hour in-person informational session about general health education. Participants receive a list of resources in the community. Health Education: Education about improving lifestyle factors to improve participants' overall health.
