Pain behavior plays a key role in many theoretical models of pain, with many of these models conceptualizing pain behaviors as potentially detrimental to patient functioning. We propose that a certain class of behaviors—talking to others about one’s pain-related distress (i.e., emotional disclosures of pain-related distress)—can be distinguished from other behaviors traditionally conceptualized as pain behaviors. Emotional disclosures of pain-related distress include verbally disclosing one’s anger, sadness, or worry about the pain and its impact to another person.
