Hello Pat @patmcell, welcome, it's so nice to have you join us.
I have empathy for your struggle with migraine and chronic pain. You mention many treatments I also have tried yet never found adequate, lasting relief from.
Good for you and your exploration of CBT approach! Pain is a delicate space of understanding the difference between acute and chronic, and accepting that chronic does not leave, even with CBT, but learning skills and self-help tools to manage chronic pain is the best medicine we can give ourselves...no side effects that add to symptoms!
I have benefited from CBT, and have heard great things about the Curable App. Many members speak highly of Curable. You may want to check this conversation out:

I'm glad to be here. Thank you.
I've been using Curable for almost a year and it is helping me understand my pain and work to alleviate or even end it.
Biggest help of the app: I've learned to my surprise that reptetition is important. I use the app 4 or 5 times a week and I used to avoid writing and brain visulations that I'd done before because I thought I'd learned everything they had to offer. Curable's team emphasizes the importance of repeating the many exercises the app offers because the brain needs to hear the same messages over and over again to successfully retrain itself.
