I tried visualization once.
Before one of my early pain management sessions, Diane and I went to have lunch on the beach. There was some bonehead guy nearby who was feeding the seagulls and had attracted quite a crowd. Needless to say, his crowd of seagulls made it difficult or impossible for us to enjoy our lunch on the beach.
A few hours later, I was in the PM's office, wired up for biofeedback, lights off, relaxed. The therapist puts on an audio tape of beach sounds and my biofeedback signals went through the roof. My wife and I still joke about it.
