Welcome to the Identity module. Pain can change the ways we think and feel about ourselves, and these things can change our pain in return. In this module, we'll explore the answers to:

  • How do thoughts and beliefs impact our pain?
  • How do behaviours and actions impact our pain?
  • How do things in our environment impact
    our pain?
  • How can we use our emotions to change our
    pain experience?
  • What are self-awareness and self-compassion?
  • What does it mean to identify as a ‘person
    with pain’?
  • What is self-acceptance and why is it so important?
  • What are values and what do they have to do with pain management?
  • What is stigma and what does stigma in the health care system look like?
