How it works
Targets pain catastrophising, which is the strongest psychological predictor of fibromyalgia disability. Builds pacing skills, reduces maladaptive coping, and addresses the sleep disturbance that worsens pain.
Most effective when combined with exercise. Best delivered by a pain psychologist familiar with fibromyalgia. Available via Medicare MHCP under GP care. Self-guided CBT programmes also have evidence.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
