After reading the pain article, I would like to open up a discussion on chronic pain beyond the neural processing and focusing on the cognitive and emotional experience. As future clinicians in the field of Occupational Therapy, how could you support a client utilizing the Biopsychosocial Approach?
Discuss what influences “pain perception” and how could you support your client in gaining back their roles and fostering participation in daily life activities?
Please go over the rubric.
