[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child had almost daily pain/injury complaints. Turns out, she has anxiety. CBT has helped tremendously. FWIW, I found that not believing her and respecting her pain was damaging our relationship. Now I'm supportive. I may not run to the doctor, but I believe her. One time, she did actually have a broken bone and I didn't believe her because she had faked so much. I felt terrible![/quote] More and more scientific evidence is proving that there is a relation between pain and anxiety - and the growing argument is not that the pain is psychological, but that the same biological hardwiring that increases anxiety (serotonin levels etc) also increase pain levels. Same pathways on the brain etc. the person with anxiety may actually feel more pain (and not in a mind over matter way).[/quote]
