Pain Disengagement Training (Open Pilot)

Mind-body interventions are some of the most effective treatments for chronic pain, yet due to lack of resources, many are inaccessible to the patients who need them. The investigators seek to fill this gap by developing and testing Pain Disengagement Training (PDT) for the treatment of chronic pain catastrophizing, a key risk factor for pain interference. The investigators will administer the PDT treatment in a small number (approximately 10) of participants to evaluate initial benchmarks (the feasibility of recruitment, acceptability of the treatment, credibility and participant satisfaction, treatment adherence, and feasibility of assessments) and to assess participants' experience with the intervention using qualitative exit interviews. Results will inform the refinement of the intervention for a future larger trial.
