The purpose of this study is to introduce and test the usefulness of a reflective process meant to empower people with chronic pain and help support participant's resiliency and thriving. The study team hypothesizes that: -Greater or equal to 80 percent of participants will report that the intervention was relatively easy to understand after orientation, low burden, potentially effective, and will have completed at least 2 of the 3 reflective tools.

Participants Engaged in the Interventions
The timepoints were as follows: consent and survey (T1), Kick-off Meeting (T2), Workshop (T3), and Exit Interview (T4). Participants had to attend the Kick-off Meeting (T2) to be considered engaged in the intervention. Participants who did not attend the Kick-off Meeting (T2) were withdrawn. Participants who did not attend the Workshop (T3) could still attend the Exit Interview (T4).
Time frame: Baseline (T1) to Exit Interview (T4), up to 68 days
Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) at T4 Exit Interview
Participants completed the PGIC at the exit interview. The PGIC had one question with seven options ranging from -3 to 3: very much worse (-3), much worse (-2), minimally worse (-1), no change (0), minimally improved (1), much improved (2), very much improved (3). A higher score indicated greater improvement since the start of the study.
Time frame: at T4 Exit Interview, up to 68 days
Change in Pain Interference Based on the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) 29 Version 2.0 Between Baseline (t1) and Approximately 68 Days (t4 Exit Interview)
There were 4 questions in this questionnaire. For each question, participants selected one of five options, ranging from "not at all" (1) to "very much" (5). Total scores ranged from 4 to 20 points, where higher scores indicated more pain interference. Since this survey was discussing the change in the pain interference, a negative score indicated less pain interfering with day-to-day activities.The change betwen the baseline (T1 and Exit Interview (t4) is reported.
Time frame: Up to 68 days
