FROM DR. MARK LUMLEY:

I have specific expertise in the development and testing of

psychological interventions for people with chronic pain, including

emotional disclosure techniques and Emotional Awareness and

Expression Therapy (EAET), which I developed. My colleagues and I

have demonstrated the benefits of these approaches in many small-

and large-scale randomized clinical trials, encouraging the field to

improve pain care by including adaptive emotional processing into

chronic pain interventions. EAET is listed as an evidence-based

treatment option in the 2019 U.S. Department of Health and Human

Services Pain Management Best Practices Inter-agency Task Force

Report.
