Advice on how to approach pain as a provider

[CP10]

Hello,
I am a new PT and I’m at a point where I am trying to learn and better my communication.
I am constantly striving how to better understand individuals who live with constant pain because pain itself is wildly complex.
What is it that you expect from any health care provider during your session?
What are some questions that you wish you had answers for from your health care provider on your first visit?
What do you wish you were told that may be would have eased any fears you had?
I believe pain is complex and unique to the individual and any advice, perspective or outlook would be insanely helpful.
I believe it all starts with good communication and building trust.

Thank you for reading this post and I look forward to hopefully opening great conversation and dialogue.
