Detailed Summary
Loneliness-feeling socially isolated-is a stressor that is associated with chronic pain.

After completing this small trial, the investigators will randomize-like a flip of a coin-a total of 40 participants to receive either CBT-L or CBT for Chronic Pain. The investigators will assess loneliness, the quality and quantity of social interactions, and pain outcomes such as pain-related interference, and thinking the worst about one's pain at baseline and after the treatment period. The investigators will also track participant flow, therapist adherence to the manual, participant homework completion, and participant satisfaction with the treatment.
