Retraining the brain to change how pain is experienced
Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is a scientifically validated approach that works to change how the brain interprets signals from the body.
It reduces pain by targeting the neurological mechanisms that sustain it.
A science-based approach
Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) was developed by Alan Gordon and published in JAMA Psychiatry in 2021.
PRT is grounded in a modern understanding of chronic pain — the recognition that some persistent symptoms are driven by a sensitized nervous system, not by ongoing physical damage.
The goal is to help the brain reinterpret physical sensations as neutral and safe.
Understanding pain differently
In some forms of chronic pain, the nervous system becomes hypersensitive and interprets bodily signals as threatening, even in the absence of actual danger.
In the context of chronic nociplastic pain, PRT can help:
- Reduce pain intensity;
- Reduce fear and anticipation of symptoms;
- Calm nervous system hypervigilance;
- Foster a sense of safety in the body;
- Support a gradual return to daily activities.
What to expect from our sessions?
Sessions draw on a combination of education, guided exercises, and mindful observation of bodily sensations.
You will gradually learn to:
- Relate to sensations differently;
- Recognize the patterns of fear and anticipation;
- Develop a calmer, more reassuring response to symptoms.
Everything proceeds at your own pace, in a respectful and structured setting, as part of a broader approach to nervous system regulation.
Who is this approach aimed at?
This approach may be particularly relevant if you:
- You live with persistent pain that has no clear medical explanation;
- You experience fear or anxiety related to your symptoms;
- You avoid certain activities out of fear of making the pain worse;
- You're interested in exploring a neuroscience-based approach to pain.
Integration into your support
PRT can be combined with other approaches offered here (hypnosis, mindfulness, neurofeedback, etc.) to support a comprehensive approach to the nervous system and pain mechanisms.
