Future additions, regarding basic definitions and parts of fear-avoidance model

1. Definition of avoidance: a behavioral adaptation that delays an undesirable experience
   1. emerges from conditioning to avoid certain pain-inducing situations or activities
   2. normally beneficial by encouraging a person to avoid putting stress on injuries and permitting them to heal
   3. harmful and disabling when pain persists after the injury heals and restricts normal use of the tissue;
2. Definition of anxiety sensitivity: the fear of the symptoms of anxiety
   1. emerges from belief that symptoms of anxiety will lead to harmful social and physical effects
   2. leads to the avoidance of many stimuli, especially those related to pain-inducing situations and activities

1. Fear-Avoidance Model
   1. abbreviated as FA model
   2. elaboration on model: The misinterpretation of pain leads to the fear and avoidance of pain-related situations or activities. This avoidance behavior leads to hypervigilance and disability, which can then lead to positive feedback to the perceived level of pain and depression. However, if the patients perceive the pain in a nonthreatening manner, they will confront the pain-related situations or activities and eventually recover.

Anxiety sensitivity

Some clarification for this sentence might be good."Anxiety sensitivity is the fear of the symptoms of anxiety" It seems redundant to say that they have anxiety about anxiety, but maybe that is actually what it is.

Anxiety sensitivity

Perhaps provide a link to the Wikipedia article on anxiety sensitivity because I was confused on the definition before I read a more in depth definition. Or add to the definition of anxiety sensitivity. 128.84.201.28 (talk) 15:38, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
