Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Chronic pain is a global epidemic that can derail people's lives. But it doesn't have to. This is the revolutionary message from psychotherapist Alan Gordon who developed an approach to eliminating symptoms without surgery or medication. Gordon's Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) enables you to rewire your neural circuits and turn off "stuck" pain signals. In a groundbreaking study, PRT helped 98 percent of patients reduce their pain. Game-changing, practical, and full of real-life stories, this book will change the way you think about pain forever. Book jacket.
"Chronic pain is an epidemic. 50 million Americans struggle with back pain, headaches, or some other pain that resists all treatment. Desperate pain sufferers are told again and again that there is no cure for chronic pain. Psychotherapist Alan Gordon was in grad school when he started experiencing chronic pain and it completely derailed his life. He saw multiple doctors and received many diagnoses, but none of the medical treatments helped. Frustrated with conventional pain management, he developed Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a mind-body protocol to eliminate chronic pain. He subsequently founded the Pain Psychology Center in Los Angeles to bring his treatment to other pain sufferers"-- Provided by publisher.
