The type of strategies and skills for facing stressful situations are influenced by each individual's personality (Dixon-Gordon et al, 2018;Lennox Thompson et al, 2020;Torres, 2018;Williams et al, 2020), which, in turn, can be affected by the chronic pain itself (Kato et al, 2017;Millon & Davis, 1998;Naylor et al, 2017). The traits and personality patterns when faced with a continuous stressor, in this case chronic pain, create less adaptive responses, boosting each other (Shapiro et al, 2020) and not only jeopardizing the clinical prognosis but also affecting numerous areas of life (Galli et al, 2021).…”
