THE WAY OUT - ALAN GORDON ALON ZIV GEBUNDEN

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.
