There’s good evidence to be found that interdisciplinary clinics are effective for chronic pain, though it’s easy to see their cost-effectiveness, and likewise it’s easy to discern that a lot of research has been committed to pain research (including much of the specialty of anaesthetics). The ideas about worries about people ruminating about pain is more complicated, but is a notion that has evolved from discussions with thoughtful EAs.
Thanks for expanding, and telling me the source of your opinion, even if not giving much in the way of evidence.
