A groundbreaking mind-body protocol to heal chronic pain, backed by new research.

Chronic pain is an epidemic. Fifty million Americans struggle with back pain, headaches, or some other pain that resists all treatment. Desperate pain sufferers are told again and again that there is no cure for chronic pain.

Alan Gordon, a psychotherapist and the founder of the Pain Psychology Center in Los Angeles, was in grad school when he started experiencing chronic pain and it completely derailed his life. He saw multiple doctors and received many diagnoses, but none of the medical treatments helped. Frustrated with conventional pain management, he 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.

PRT is rooted in neuroscience, which has shown that while chronic pain feels like it's coming from the body, in most cases it's generated by misfiring pain circuits in the brain. PRT is a system of psychological techniques that rewires the brain to break out of the cycle of chronic pain.

The University of Colorado-Boulder recently conducted a large randomized controlled study on PRT, and the results are remarkable. By the end of the study, the majority of patients were pain-free or nearly pain-free. What's more, these dramatic changes held up over time.

The Way Out brings PRT to readers. It combines accessible science with a concrete, step-by-step plan to teach sufferers how to heal their own chronic pain.

As someone who suffers from chronic migraine, this book was so helpful. I think that most people who suffer from flares can easily get into a neuroplastic pain cycle. I loved listening to Alan Gordon patiently explain his findings about neuroplastic pain, the techniques to help alleviate this type of pain and the fear cycle, and other patients’ stories who have recovered. It was very much like listening to a therapist and I know that I’ll go back to certain sections for repeated listening. Highly recommend to all those who struggle with pain of any kind.

Excellent for anyone who suffers from chronic pain

It was refreshing to read that the author went through many things I’m now experiencing and how he corrected them. The first half is the science behind his approach and the second half is the hands on portion. I can relate to much of this material and throughly enjoyed and learned a lot.

I learned a lot with this book.

I really was amazed at the information that I learned from thos.book. I've listened through it twice already and will be listening again soon. I battle horrible chronic migraines and the Dr.s have not been able to help much so I'm hopeful as I practice this advice I'll have better quality of life and not suffer as much.

Very interesting facts as well as compassion.
