Alan Gordon, LCSW demonstrates somatic tracking & pain reprocessing therapy

This is a live demonstration of a new treatment to reverse chronic pain called Pain Reprocessing Therapy, which uses a form of guided mindfulness called "somatic tracking" to re-process danger signals.

It was recently proven to cure chronic back pain for 66% percent of people who were randomly assigned to it in an NIH-funded brain-imaging study. Published Sept 2021 in JAMA Psychiatry.

We were fortunate to film a live demonstration with one of the innovators of PRT, Alan Gordon, LCSW, founder of the Pain Psychology Center. He was presenting at a conference with Howard Schubiner, MD called “Breaking The Pain Cycle” — Beyond Pain Management, at Providence Hospital in Southfield, MI

I can’t believe this actually works! I’ve had a problem for over four years and just two weeks ago I started reading up about all this fear related pain and I started challenging myself knowing that I have been to drs who couldn’t find any structural damage. I actually can’t believe my pain symptoms have gone down… seriously thought I was in a black hole and wouldn’t be able to get out. In just two short weeks I’ve changed dramatically… I’m so thankful for this research.

This is so beautiful! My brain thinks normal sensations in my body are not safe and it clicked inside me just now that this is it! The fear of something being wrong is keeping me stuck in pain.

I've just read Alan Gordon's book and it's almost as if i wrote it myself and i mean that from the pain i have now (and have had for 30 years) and that he had. Pain on sitting is as excruciating as it is embarrassing but I'll give it everything i have got. Thank you Alan. 🇬🇧🙂

Alan Gordon, this guy's a legend

[RickTashma]

Thank you, Felicia, for your willingness and courage to share this! It's a beautiful demo of PRT. I hope you're continuing to experience less (or no) similar neck pain.

This also applies to anxiety, insomnia, and other non-pain related symptoms

Healed from years of severe “Pudendal Neuralgia”, diagnosed by doctors, thanks to Alan, Howards and Sarno. It took me about 2 months for full recovery.

This video and the somatic tracking audio on the Curable App are so helpful! I had pain even after I fully recovered from an illness. Somatic tracking helped me get out of the pain cycle. I have been feeling so much better. Thank you so much and keep the videos coming!

Alan Gordon is a fantastic teacher and practitioner, this is fascinating.

[emilyduvall]

Alan's book is amazing! Total game changer for me!

[sensationlive]

This book actually changed my life. I feel indebted to Alan Gordon, forever. Thank you so much for the amazing work you do, your ability to think, explore, and conduct solid expertise outside the box and norms. I am sure there was lots of disapproval and criticism when he first set out.

Thank you for this video. I did the exercise along with her as I suffer from chronic neck pain. It made me cry also. I'm exploring more ways to get out of this vicious pain cycle. I believe I can heal. Thank you. ❤️

OMG so excited I found your video. Hip pain woke me up again and I found this and followed your instructions. The pain has softened alot! I will continue to work my thoughts and hopefully extinguish the pain completely. PS I had an MRI 6 months ago and they found mild arthritis

Brilliant guys, this is so true and has got me back to running after feeling paralysed with lower back pain. Thank you

[Hottietatsy]

How much I love this guy! I remember listening to his podcasts while driving 4 hours from Dallas to Austin on curable app and I had no back pain during or after. Usually I can barely drive an hour. His voice is so soothing and he just finds the right words. I got better just listening to podcasts and changing my thought and emotions towards pain. Then k read his book which describes me to a T. It was absolutely life changing. Would love to meet him in person.

Fantastic content! Thanks a lot for sharing! Looking forward to do the training. It's a bit expensive for me, living in a developing country. I hope I can find a way, bc there are so many people in need of this treatment where I live.

Terrific. Is that Dr. Schubiner in the background? Btw, here's a hard problem for Gordon: how do you test for the penile, rectal, perineal pain of CPPS/chronic prostatitis (all structural issues ruled out) that worsens every time you've voided your bladder and often goes on for hours? And what do you tell yourself/your brain when it ruins your sleep? 😊

[MistaTwitch]

amazing this worked for me, life changing

[johnnypolex]

My debilitating back pain completely went away within a day or two after understanding pain better. It was after i read “healing back pain” by dr john sarnos

[woodfloorsjohnny]
