Techniques like relaxation, breathing exercises, and positive thinking aim to change how a person perceives and responds to pain. It also involves identifying and modifying behaviors that may worsen pain, encouraging activities that promote comfort. These methods work by addressing the emotional and cognitive parts of pain experience, helping patients gain a sense of control and reduce suffering without relying solely on medication. Overall, it empowers individuals to manage pain more effectively through mental and behavioral strategies.
