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

Product Information

And after 3 weeks of applying the mindfulness and having this mantra in my head with positive thoughts, I can now say that 50% of my pain is already gone. This book can help anyone suffering from chronic pain, or any chronic health condition that doctors don’t understand. This book is so helpful to me because those of us who have healed from neuroplastic pain or other neuroplastic conditions (ibs, migraines, sibo, and nervous system dysregulation, lymbic system impairment, amygdala over activity, etc.) can have relapses and this book clearly and succinctly explains how to recover from that. Gordon explains in a very readable and even sometimes humorous style, what neuroplastic pain is and what to do about it.

With or without the help of a therapist. Some people, using techniques offered in the book, make gradual progress on their own. Others need more guidance. From professionals. If you're a hard case in need of a therapist trained in PRT, it will cost you, bringing not neuroplastic but REAL pain to your wallet, but that's the American way.

Mark Williams, emeritus professor of clinical psychology, University of Oxford, coauthor of Mindfulness The Way Out offers a wonderfully clear and compelling combination of personal experience and the latest breakthroughs in brain science to show how to reduce chronic pain. Beautifully written - a transformation that will affect both you and those with whom you share your life. Mark Williams, emeritus professor of clinical psychology, University of Oxford, coauthor of Mindfulness The University of Colorado-Boulder recently conducted a large randomized controlled study on PRT, and the results are remarkable. By the end of the study, the majority of patients were pain-free or nearly pain-free. What’s more, these dramatic changes held up over time.

Will it work for you (or some sufferer you know)? If you've tried everything, what are your alternatives? Apparently the science from fMRI images of the brain (before and after PRT) and studies at the University of Colorado Boulder say yes, in many cases, it *does* work. I’ve found that almost everyone has the capacity to either eliminate or significantly reduce their symptoms; it’s just a matter of finding the right tools and learning how to use them. I hope that this recovery program might help you to find the tools that you need. Days of the Program In The Way Out, Gordon provides an easy-to-follow guide to ending your pain with PRT. Drawing on cutting-edge research along with his own experiences as a chronic pain sufferer, he will help you:however, when the pain comes now, I am using the techniques from the book to minimize the pain, and it’s absolutely working. As someone who has been dealing with TMS (mind-body) symptoms for the better part of the last year, I was both excited and kind of nervous about reading this book. If you have mind-body symptoms, you have probably tried just about EVERYTHING to rid yourself of them, and if you are like me, you have struggled to make sense of what's going on or make progress. Well meaning doctors may have scared you, or confused you, or you may have become somewhat of a doctor yourself via google - and in the end turned into a scared, in pain mess, who is now wondering if you will be able to get out of this. You might constantly live in the fear panic cycle, or maybe you have developed a pattern of 'fixing' or maybe you are just trying to figure out the 'why'. 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. Desperate pain sufferers are told again and again that there is no cure for chronic pain. Alan Gordon, a psychotherapist and the founder of the Pain Psychology Center in Los Angeles, 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 that eliminated his own chronic pain and has transformed the lives of thousands of his patients. Why? Because your brain is the conductor of all body pain. When it's doing its job, it saves your life by telling you HOT! or OUCH! or RETREAT! And if you legitimately injure yourself, it cautions you to SLOW DOWN and take restorative action. Judson Brewer, MD, PhD, New York Times bestselling Author of Unwinding Anxiety and The Craving Mind
