Good for you! Way to be your best advocate and look to make change. While I highly recommend going to the PRC and immersing yourself in the program with a medical team and peers, nothing compares to the experience in person, I get that it may not be attainable for some.

Even if you never get to the program, I believe doing what you're doing by opening yourself up to learning and knowledge is giving you a great advantage.

Understanding that "hurt doesn't equal harm", (in chronic cases) is a huge revelation and it sounds like you're doing a fantastic job of paying attention to the areas that you can grow and make changes in.

If you're interested, I can try to put my finger on what's called Family Day videos from the pain rehab program. These are recaps of each of the three weeks of classes that get shared with families of patients attending. They are full of excellent, valuable tools. Would you be interested in watching them?
