Chronic Pain

Healing Through Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) & Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET)

Chronic pain is real, but it isn’t always a sign of damage in the body. Many times, it’s the brain and nervous system misinterpreting signals as dangerous when they’re not.

Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) is a research-backed approach that helps retrain the brain to interpret these signals accurately, reducing pain and restoring a sense of safety in the body.

Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET) works alongside PRT by helping you identify, feel, and safely release emotions that may be held in the body. When emotions are processed rather than stored, the body no longer needs to use pain as a signal.

Together, PRT and EAET offer a powerful path toward healing — shifting your brain and body from protection and fear into safety, calm, and freedom.
