A set of 32 pain management coping cards with baby buddha (ojizo) illustration. Printer friendly white background.

Pain is a common experience to human and we all experience pain from time to time, yet suffering from prolonged pain can create emotional distress and actual impairments to our everyday life. Chronic pain can be associated with actual injury or tissue damage but this is not always the case. Experience of pain can be triggered by non-sensory factors like stress and cognition.

Compassion focused pain management focuses on enhancing pain acceptance so that even if pain is here to stay in our life, we can still seek to minimize its impact on our well-being. Rather than trying to eradicate pain, we try to soothe our emotional distress arising from pain with compassion and adjust our time active to reduce the flare-up of pain. In this way, we can still take actions to facilitate us to continue to pursue important and meaning life goals despite the presence of pain.

The 32 compassionate parenting coping cards consist of 3 themes:

(i) Basic facts about pain
Summary of theoretical model of pain like the gate control theory and neuromatrix theory of pain.

(ii) Beliefs about pain
Example of common thoughts regarding pain that could worsen pain, together with an alternative, more helpful response to these beliefs.

(iii) Living with pain
Summary of life habits that can help to alleviate the impact of pain, including strategies to improve sleep, reminders to enhance pain acceptance, and principles of activity pacing.

You can also purchase the coping cards together with a set of psychoeducaion worksheet and practice workbook in our bundle offer.
