Pain Reprocessing Therapy for Chronic Pain Relief

You’ve done the doctor visits, scans, and treatments — yet the pain is still there. Whether your pain began without any clear injury or started with an injury that has long since healed, your experience is real — and you’re not alone. Many people continue to feel pain even when their bodies are structurally healthy. In these cases, the brain’s protective system is misfiring pain signals — its danger alarm stays switched on, often in response to stress, fear, or emotional tension rather than physical harm. This is known as neuroplastic pain, and the encouraging news is that although the pain is very real, it is also highly changeable.

Through Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)–informed coaching, I help you understand your symptoms, calm your nervous system, and retrain your brain’s pain pathways. Techniques like somatic tracking, mindfulness, and emotional processing help rewire the brain, break the pain–fear cycle, and reduce sensitivity to pain over time. Together, we use these evidence-based tools to reduce fear, build safety, and support lasting relief.

What to expect:

Coaching sessions are individualized and designed to support you to:

  • Learn about neuroplastic pain and recovery

  • Gather and reinforce personalized evidence that your pain is neuroplastic

  • Learn and practice tools for responding differently to pain

  • Increase nervous system regulation

  • Address pain triggers, including emotional and social/environmental threats

  • Identify and implement tools for self-care

  • Reintroduce and begin new activities to live life the way you envision

  • Create a relapse prevention plan

This may work for you if:

  • Your pain or symptoms began during a period of significant stress or emotional strain

  • Your symptoms started without a clear injury or physical incident, or persisted after normal healing time of an injury or physical incident

  • The severity or location of your symptoms changes from day to day

  • Pain or discomfort shifts, spreads, or moves to different areas of the body

  • You experience a wide range of symptoms rather than just one isolated issue

  • Stress, worry, or emotional tension makes your symptoms worse

  • Your symptoms are set off by non-physical triggers such as weather changes, sounds, smells, or certain environments

  • You notice symmetrical symptoms (for example, pain on both sides of the body in the same location)

  • Pain increases hours after activity rather than during the activity itself

  • You have a history of childhood adversity, chronic stress, or trauma

  • You tend toward perfectionism, people-pleasing, high responsibility, or heightened anxiety

  • Medical evaluations haven’t identified a clear structural explanation for your symptoms.You’ve been told that your pain is medically unexplained

  • Imaging reveals “normative” findings, including degenerative disc disease or bulging discs (these are frequently found in people without pain)
