2. Eight Week Pain Reprocessing Therapy and Brain Retraining Workshop.
This 8-week educational Pain Reprocessing Therapy and Brain Retraining Workshop will delve into how to overcome the challenges of chronic pain/illness. This Workshop was delivered live in March and April 2024 and recordings are now available for purchase. This course includes information in the 8 week Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) Healing Workshop offered by the Pain Reprocessing Therapy Center. However, I go into more research evidence on how brain retraining improves other conditions besides chronic pain, such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I also delve into topics that I believe are critical to return to health such as self compassion, erecting self-care boundaries, tools to help deal with emotions, assertive communication tools, and using the body to calm the mind techniques. Each week contains a 1 to 1.5 hour video of my lecture and Q & A recordings. Each week also contains 6-10 handouts and workbooks.
