The Way Out: The Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven Approach to Heal Chronic Pain

Product Information

Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is a system of psychological techniques designed to rewire the brain and break the cycle of chronic pain. I am now meditating, doing yoga, and retraining my brain to stop obsessing over my pain and whether or not it's going to get worse.

Based on the premise that pain starts in the brain not the body, Gordon’s Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) enables you to rewire your neural circuits and turn off ‘stuck’ pain signals . The University of Colorado at Boulder recently conducted a large randomized controlled study on PRT, and the results are remarkable.In addition to observing pain and sending safety, there is according to Gordon a third element of somatic tracking. Edit: retroactively changing this to a 4 because honestly I have started trying this technique and it is working to reduce my pain.

Debilitated by chronic pain throughout his body for several years and frustrated by the lack of effective treatment, Gordon developed the ground-breaking Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) – a highly effective system of psychological techniques that rewire the brain’s neural circuits to turn off “stuck” pain signals. Ab und zu spüre ich noch etwas Spannung im Rücken aber durch die Tools, die im Buch erklärt werden, habe ich endlich das Gefühl es im Griff zu bekommen.

Balance is vital because it’s only when we are in tune with each aspect of our health that we can fully experience wellness. The insidious trifecta of worry, self-criticism and self-imposed pressure combine in the most adverse of fashion, according to Gordon to exacerbate the degree of neuroplastic pain. He is the author of "Breeding Between the Lines " and has appeared on BBC London News, NPR and BBC Radio. That means weeks of tracking your pain from a higher plane, noticing it, but not allowing it to panic you, feed your fear, up your stress, and thus reinforce its power (read: your brain's faulty loop). Game-changing, practical and full of real-life stories from Gordon’s clinical practice, this book will change the way you think about pain forever - and give you a way out of your pain today.

Chronic pain is complex, by definition has been going on for a long time and will take time to recover.It's a quick read, contains numerous studies and scientific information, and humor is interspersed throughout since Gordon did have a brief stint in comedy. By sharing honest reviews and tips, we hope to make choosing aids and adaptations easier; whether it’s for personal use at home or when requesting accommodations in public spaces. Does your pain consume your thoughts- when you feel a twinge of pain, do you obsess over whether or not it's going to get worse?

That's the program (w/a lot of fluffery in between pages, w/his many anecdotal sidebars about people he's helped). The hope and optimism I have been feeling since starting in this new direction have been a very welcome breath of fresh air. Whatever the case may be, I think this book can at the very least clearly spell out the patterns, habits, and path forward to finally provide you some relief, and maybe like it did for me, provide you a whole new perspective on your symptoms. Game-changing, practical and full of real-life stories from Gordon’s clinical practice, this book will change the way you think about pain forever – and give you a way out of your pain today. I was learning about mindfulness and emotions and all that at the same time, which I think really helped cement it all.

Psychotherapist Alan Gordon was in grad school when he started experiencing chronic pain and it completely derailed his life. Frustrated with conventional pain management, he developed Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a mind-body protocol to eliminate chronic pain. From then onwards, I’ve been living in near constant pain, unable to do things that made me happy, such as exercise and sports. PRT is a system of psychological techniques that rewires the brain to break out of the cycle of chronic pain.
