Description
'With straightforward and practical wisdom, The Way Out presents a sophisticated yet simple approach to understanding and healing chronic pain.' Dr Gabor Mate, bestselling author of The Myth of Normal
'Quite possibly the most important pain book ever written. The Way Out will be the answer for millions who live in constant agony.' Annie Grace, author of This Naked Mind
Chronic pain is a global epidemic.
28 million people in the UK alone struggle with back pain, headaches or some other pain that resists all treatment, often being told again and again that there is no cure.
But it doesn't have to be this way.
Frustrated by the lack of effective treatment for his own debilitating pain, psychotherapist Alan Gordon 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. In a ground-breaking study, PRT helped 98% of patients reduce their pain levels and 66% were completely cured.
Now, in his incredible and inspiring book, The Way Out, Gordon shows you how to:
Understand how the brain can unintentionally 'learn' chronic pain
Turn off pain signals that have become 'stuck'
Use revolutionary techniques to break the cycle of fear that causes chronic pain
Develop long-term strategies for living pain-free
Game-changing, practical and full of real-life stories from Gordon's clinical practice, The Way Out will change the way you think about pain forever - and give you a way out of your own chronic pain.
'All chronic pain patients owe it to themselves to read this book' Andrew Weil, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Spontaneous Healing
'Every clinician who treats chronic pain should read The Way Out' Steven Richeimer, MD, Chief of Pain Medicine, USC Keck School of Medicine
'The Way Out is quite simply the most effective treatment for chronic pain' Howard Schubiner, MD, clinical professor at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, and founder and director of the Mind-Body Medicine Program, Ascension Providence Hospital
