‘All these things don’t take the pain away but they do help you to accept it’: making the case for compassion-focused therapy in the management of persistent pain
Overview
This paper presents a 12-week Compassion-Focused Therapy group intervention designed for individuals with persistent pain, particularly those experiencing significant psychological components. The study combines interpretative phenomenological analysis of participant interviews with questionnaire data on mood, pain disability, and self-criticism to evaluate the program's effectiveness. Results indicate that the approach may help reduce isolation, enhance self-reassurance, and foster acceptance of pain-related limitations.
