Free yourself from chronic pain with this powerful, evidence-based workbook.

Do you suffer from back, knee, or neck pain, migraines arthritis, fibromyalgia, or any other condition that causes chronic discomfort? Have you searched far and wide for answers, hoping against hope to find lasting relief-only to find yourself disappointed and in pain again? This discouraging cycle can be as damaging to your quality of life as the pain itself, especially if your pain has been minimized or disregarded. If you're tired of running into roadblocks when it comes to finding real solutions, it might be time for a new approach. It's time to leverage the natural power and flexibility of your brain, so you can finally free yourself from chronic pain and take charge of your life.

At the heart of this groundbreaking workbook is pain reprocessing therapy (PRT)-the most effective current treatment for chronic pain. PRT is a highly streamlined, evidence-based method that actually retrains the brain to accurately interpret sensory signals from the body, interrupting the perpetual pain cycle so you can find some relief. You'll begin by exploring the ins and outs of how pain works, with special emphasis on understanding the critical relationship between pain and fear. You'll also discover a wealth of in-the-moment tips to help you quickly recognize the aspects of life that trigger or aggravate your pain-so you can handle it quickly, healthily, and move on with less pain.

If your quest for relief has led to nothing but frustration, shame, stigmatization, and endless agony, the answers found in this friendly guide will illuminate a path away from pain and toward lasting comfort and peace of mind. Go ahead, take the first step.
