This therapy can assist you in regaining a sense of personal control, dignity, and self-esteem when faced with issues of chronic pain.

Chronic pain is a chronic condition that persists beyond the expected healing time. Due to its complexity, chronic pain does not just affect your physical body. It can significantly affect other areas of your life such as social, occupational, mood, recreational activities, sleep, etc. When chronic pain is treated by medical interventions alone, these other life areas are not addressed.

CBT-CP is a structured approach that focuses on the relationship among your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The objective of this therapy is to provide various self-management techniques that can assist you in regaining a sense of personal control, dignity, and self-esteem when faced with issues of chronic pain.

CBT-CP is a time-limited psychotherapy for the treatment of chronic pain. This therapy typically involves 10-12 sessions and is most effective when scheduled on a weekly basis. Weekly homework assignments help you practice and apply the skills you learn in the therapy. Research suggests this therapy improves daily functioning and overall quality of life.
