SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline, post 8-week intervention

Change in average of the scores for the 3 Pain Interference items on PROMIS-29 \[5-point Likert scale from 1 "Not at all" to 5 "Very much"\] average for past week will be assessed by internet-based questionnaire using REDCap \[range 3 - 15, higher values more interference\] negative numbers indicate improvement in pain interference

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: baseline, post 8-week intervention

change in scores for the 8 scales of the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness (MAIA-2) \[6-point 0-5 Likert scale Never to Always\] will be assessed by internet-based questionnaire using REDCap. Each scale range from 0-5, total score over all 8 scales is the mean of the score of the 8 scales, also ranges 0-5. Higher values indicate higher interoceptive awareness. positive values indicate improvement.
