How can conditioning behavioral therapy relieve fibromyalgia pain?

When we have fibromyalgia pain, we often talk about it and moan, grimace, or move our bodies differently. When other people see and hear us, they respond to our pain behaviors. Sometimes, these responses can encourage you to do things that won't really help your symptoms.

For example, some people may talk about how bad their own pain is, or encourage you to take extra pain pills, go to bed, or call the doctor. People may also add to your negative thinking by saying such things as, "Your fibromyalgia always interferes with our fun," or, "Every time we try to do something, fibromyalgia gets in the way." Conditioning behavioral therapy trains you to avoid displaying as many pain behaviors.

For example: Pay attention to how much you talk about your pain with others and try to shift conversations to more positive topics. Watch how you move and walk when your symptoms are bothering you, and try to move more normally. Catch yourself when you hear yourself moaning or groaning as you move.

Conditioning behavioral therapy also trains others to encourage you in doing the things your doctor has recommended. Positive behaviors could include: Tell your family and friends, "Let's not talk about my pain. What's new with you?"

Let them know that you need encouragement to be active, and request that they suggest activities that keep you moving. Remind family and friends that you want to keep up with your chores, so that they'd don't jump in and finish them for you. Ask them to suggest fun activities to help distract you from your symptoms.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
