Questions:
1. Clients/patients, especially those prone to black and white thinking, may not have considered more creative solutions for how to be involved in pleasurable activities, for example...
2. What are examples of self-monitoring that your patient/client can use to process his/her negative thoughts associated with pain?
3. What are some examples of coping statements the patient/client in chronic pain can make to him/herself?
4. What are examples of insomnia stimulus control instructions for a patient/client?
5. What is an example of collaborating to develop a discharge plan for activities?
6. What would you discuss if the patient/client has reverted back to a low level of activity and has resumed resting and guarding for much of the day after therapy has ended?

Answers:
A. What was going through my mind just before or just after I started to feel this way? What is the thing I am most afraid might happen? What is the worst thing that could happen? What memories does this lead me to experience? What does this mean about my future, my life, my health?
B. Remind your patient/client of progress he/she has already made with other physical activities such as walking. Encourage behavioral trials to test negative expectations and start with activities that are comfortable. Reinforce incremental achievements along the way.
C. Only go to bed when sleepy. Use bed only for sleep and sex. If unable to sleep after 20 minutes, get out of bed and return only when sleepy. Wake at the same time every day. Do not nap.
D. “I’ve been through pain increases like this before, I just need to focus on something else until it passes” and “I just have to make it through this moment.”
E. What has gone well? Why have those things worked? What has not gone well? What are the specific problems? What have been the biggest barriers in the implementation of the skills that you have learned? In the areas where you have been successful, why have you been successful?
F. What do you think might get in the way of engaging in your skills as planned? What things have already sidetracked you through the course of treatment? How have you coped with difficult issues in the past, and how might you cope with them in the future?
