And since our responses are automatic, we easily miss the freedom we have to choose how to respond. Sometimes traumatic memories inhibit us from feeling this freedom; at other times our own beliefs get in the way. But we can experience this freedom, and I’m here to help you learn how. With chronic pain in particular, until quite recently we did not have a deep enough understanding about how pain is created in the body, brain, and mind, in order to provide a rationale to guide effective treatment. Now we do.
I use a new, scientifically validated method, called Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a chronic pain treatment that targets the brain, via the mind. After undergoing treatment, 98% of patients improved, and 66% were pain-free or nearly pain-free.
I myself suffered from chronic pain for almost 30 years before I successfully used the method that I now teach.
This method targets the lens through which we sense and feel our mind and body — safe or unsafe? Adjusting this lens changes key brain structures that operate outside of our awareness. We focus on the cause and not the symptoms.
When we change how we are experiencing something, its meaning changes for us. What was scary and disturbing is no longer so. Once that happens, the nervous system is able to let go and the stuck imbalance can naturally resolve itself.
I’ve also been trained in EMDR and use a related method called The Flash Technique to drain the reactivity from traumatic memories without having to relive them, making dramatic change surprisingly possible.
