The bit about non-catastrophizing the condition reminds me of raising children. Often when toddlers fall they will look to the adults in the room for how to react to their fall. If they receive a chorus of "Oh, you poor thing, did you fall? Did you hurt yourself?" and such, they'll start crying and looking for sympathy. But if they get reactions like "Oh, come on and get up, you're fine" they're likely to just get up and get on with their day. Of course, parents should only do this when the little falls on a carpet, kitchen floor, or back lawn. If knees are skinned or you've fallen into a pile of Duplo, it's okay to hurt a little.
