Chronic pain is a global epidemic.
28 million people in the UK alone struggle with back pain, headaches or some other pain that resists all treatment, often being told again and again that there is no cure.
But it doesn't have to be this way.
Frustrated by the lack of effective treatment for his own debilitating pain, psychotherapist Alan Gordon 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. In a ground-breaking study, PRT helped 98% of patients reduce their pain levels and 66% were completely cured.
Now, in his incredible and inspiring book, The Way Out, Gordon shows you how to:
Understand how the brain can unintentionally 'learn' chronic painTurn off pain signals that have become 'stuck'Use revolutionary techniques to break the cycle of fear that causes chronic painDevelop long-term strategies for living pain-free
Game-changing, practical and full of real-life stories from Gordon's clinical practice, The Way Out will change the way you think about pain forever - and give you a way out of your own chronic pain.
