We humans are inclined to regard ourselves as sensitive in a way that animals are not because our brain has developed above the level of that of animals. We feel that we are sensitive, that we are highly strung. This gives us the ability to appreciate the subtlety and diversity of our sensations in a way which would not otherwise be possible. We feel that this sensitivity in itself makes us more vulnerable to pain. I think that this is only partially true. Many very sensitive people, by developing a quiet philosophy and understanding, have a great capacity for the

self-management of pain; and on the other hand, many very insensitive people allow distress and fear to overtake them, and so withstand pain very badly.

My own experience with patients is that the more sensitive persons learn the technique of the self-management of pain rather better than their less sensitive fellows. One reason for this is that some degree of sensitivity helps the patient to let himself go along with me with these ideas.
