Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) Group

  • Uncover links between stress and pain.

  • Explore the mind-body connection to heal.

  • Believe in your body again.

Mondays, 6/2 - 7/21
4:30 - 6:00 PM
Capitol Hill, Denver


Description:

This group is for adults with any form of physical pain that has lasted longer than three months (i.e. chronic pain).

Participants must have already sought medical opinion and intervention, with no relief of pain or only partial relief of pain.

There will be limited time for individual sharing and discussion as the group is mostly educational.

Participants will be asked to complete up to 45 minutes of homework between sessions.

Goals:

  • Update your knowledge about what pain is, how pain works, and why healing from chronic pain often requires an approach that is different from standard medical interventions.

  • Learn and apply the Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) framework to your own chronic pain.

  • Practice a technique that can interrupt the pain-fear cycle and reduce pain over time.

  • Discover how emotions, behaviors, and personality features relate to pain.

  • Change behaviors that may perpetuate chronic pain into behaviors that may heal chronic pain.

Investment:

$500 total, insurance not accepted
