What is PRT?
Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is a system of psychological techniques that retrains the brain to interpret and respond to signals from the body properly, subsequently breaking the cycle of chronic pain.
This approach is based on the idea that chronic pain is caused by an overactive nervous system, which can be retrained through specific techniques. The goal of Pain Reprocessing Therapy is to reduce pain, improve quality of life, and decrease reliance on medication.
The pain reprocessing retreat involves a combination of cognitive-behavioral techniques, somatic tracking, and mindfulness practices.
This retreat may be beneficial to you if:
You don’t have time to attend weekly PRT sessions
You are open and ready to explore your current pain
You are highly motivated to learn how to reduce your pain
You are tired of sitting in the pain and ready for relief
Am I a good candidate?
Does your pain shift in intensity and location?
Have you have had pain longer than 4 months?
Have you been diagnosed with multiple unexplained chronic conditions?
Have you tried surgeries, medications, and treatments with little relief?
Did a significant life event/trauma happen around the time the pain started?
Does your pain intensify with strong emotions?
Often, individuals suffering with chronic pain develop conditioned responses to the pain, PRT can help break this cycle.
Lets set up a chat virtually or over the phone to determine if you are a good fit.
