I'm little lost and I would like to know to use it for my next session.

Give them Unkillable 1 and regular High Pain Threshold?
Supernatural Durability is something of a patchwork of different traits, I think. If the above combo doesn't work, give us an idea of what this character is specifically like, and I'm sure someone here can help you come up with the right package.
You also can just handwave it. Would it really be that much of a deal breaker for your character to actually have this trait? Since it is supernatural by default, is it really a stretch that any crippling injuries are somehow cosmetic?
