Chronic pain affects fifty million Americans, manifesting as back pain, headaches, or other persistent issues that resist treatment. Many sufferers are told there is no cure. Alan Gordon, a psychotherapist and founder of the Pain Psychology Center, experienced chronic pain during grad school, which disrupted his life. After consulting numerous doctors and receiving various diagnoses without relief, he created Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a mind-body approach that not only alleviated his own pain but has also transformed the lives of thousands of patients. PRT is grounded in neuroscience, revealing that chronic pain, often perceived as originating from the body, is frequently caused by misfiring pain circuits in the brain. This therapeutic system employs psychological techniques to rewire the brain, breaking the cycle of chronic pain. A recent randomized controlled study by the University of Colorado-Boulder highlighted PRT's effectiveness, showing that most participants ended the study pain-free or nearly pain-free, with lasting results. This work introduces PRT to a broader audience, blending accessible science with a practical, step-by-step plan to empower individuals to heal their chronic pain.
