Hi there @greenacres. You're very welcome. I know you're not new to Connect, or chronic symptoms and searching for a way to manage. Thanks so much for speaking up and showing interest in the PRC videos. I'm hoping there are many watchers out there who are gaining interest, knowledge and motivation to think outside of the medical world box.
Please find these links for PRC conversations, experiences, and tips:

As a PRC graduate, I'm protective of the videos as for years they have not been shared outside of the program and viewing ability was only for those who participated in the 3-week program. I'm proud to say that I advocated for material to share from PRC for those who need a jump start and a different approach to chronic pain management.
The interesting part of it is that these videos are just the tip of the iceberg. I stand by the fact that anyone who can get to one of the 3 Mayo Clinic 3-week PRC programs should 100% go. It's no walk in the park, and takes commitment, but very rewarding on every level.
I'll be sharing the 3rd video this week. In the meantime, @greenacres, will you please share some thoughts on the information presented by Dr. Sletten so far? What has been your biggest revelation or take away? What have you learned that you will implement in your pain management plan?

Hello -
I'm pleased to be able to share the Mayo Clinic Pain Rehabilitation Family Day videos with you. Here is week 3, as promised:
Family Day - Week 3:
As always, I love your feedback and know that conversations are how we learn and help each other on Connect.
Will you please share and express how these videos have impacted you, your thoughts and how you may implement some of the information you learned?
Has this knowledge inspired or motivated you in a new way? Perhaps you, like me, initially learned that there are ways to have a more successful pain management plan.
Happy Friday everyone!

I play a supporting role for my husband who suffers from painful idiopathic neuropathy. We spent lot of time that took a toll on emotions going for testings and seeing what Sletten refers to as "ologists". I appreciated what he said about stopping that, accepting, changing behaviour patterns and practicing self regulation.
...and being a cheerleader not a coach.
