After reading Alan Gordon's book "The Way Out: A Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven Approach to Healing Chronic Pain" (currently on my 2nd. reading) I've decided to give PRT a try.

Whilst the book title is less than stellar, the information it contains really resonates with me - it's worth a read!

Here's how I found a PRT program near me:
The books author, Dr. Gordon, is a co-founder of a group of like-minded doctors who've created a network of PRT practitioners. Their website has a database of these Dr's. that is searchable by location. I've discovered a nearby doctor who is certified "a master" w/ PRT.

I'm excited to have an orientation to their 12-16 week program this afternoon... fingers are crossed, Im desperately hoping that we're a good fit for each other!

Here's a link to their searchable database:
https://www.painreprocessingtherapy.com/directory-of-practitioners
This is only part of a comprehensive pain mgmt. program in my area.

For some reason, even though I've been in the actual building where this program is offered, I've never been made aware of it, till reading the book, discovering the PRT website, & finding nearby practitioners near me.

It seems when it comes to managing our pain (at least in my area) with anything other than drugs, technology &/or surgery, you're on your own in finding these types of therapies.

It's really too bad.

I am very interested in seeing how this program works for you. Please keep us updated.

@jonc59 hello - well imagine my surprise when i found my physiatrist* ( from a bout of tingling /paresthesia in my arm from ~10years ago) on the list in the link you provided! so thank you ! Turns out I already have an appointment for a virtual visit with her now that my Low Back Pain has returned. But clearly I now have a new topic of conversation to address with her !
Y'all might be way ahead of me on this area of mind-body research , I was reading an article in Scientific American by Haider Warraich when i was first Dx with Polymyalgia Rheumatica in 2023 ( PMR) - so i sort of tucked it away , since with PMR my experience was more about a weird stiffness versus pain - The article was : https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/it-rsquo-s-time-to-rethink-the-origins-of-pain/

This info might be of interest to those in Boston area :

A pilot program was listed called F.I.N.E.R with *Jennifer Kurz and Danielle Sarno among others : https://doctorkurz.com/?page_id=1120. -- appears to have ended in 2022?
I'd be interested to know if anyone is aware of /or already enrolled in trials at the Beth Israel Deaconess:

I know it’s only been a couple weeks but I was wondering how the program is going for you.
