Depression
Depression isn’t always obvious. For many people, especially those with a history of trauma, depression doesn’t show up as sadness or tears — it shows up as numbness, fatigue, disconnection, or a sense of not really being here.
Chronic pain often creates a feedback loop:
You feel pain → You fear it won’t go away → The brain senses danger → Pain increases → Fear increases → And the cycle continues.
PRT gently interrupts that loop. Through education, somatic tracking, and emotional support, we help you explore pain sensations from a place of curiosity and safety. The more safety your brain experiences, the less it feels the need to produce pain.
Your pain is real—and it originates in the brain. That doesn’t mean it’s “all in your head.” All pain, even pain from injuries or illness, is generated by the nervous system. But in many chronic conditions, the brain continues to produce pain even after the body has healed—or in the absence of structural damage.
Pain is your body’s protective alarm system, but sometimes that system becomes overly sensitive, misfiring even when there’s no threat. PRT helps recalibrate this response by teaching the brain to interpret bodily signals as safe. When the brain no longer perceives danger, the intensity of pain often decreases—and in some cases, it can resolve completely.
Pain Reprocessing Therapy is often effective for people experiencing persistent pain without a clear physical cause—like back or neck pain, fibromyalgia, or headaches. But it’s not only for “mystery pain.”
PRT has been shown to reduce pain in many cases where structural abnormalities or medical diagnoses are present—especially when the nervous system has become sensitized. Conditions like herniated discs or post-surgical pain often involve both physical and neurological components. While PRT doesn’t treat structural issues directly, it helps calm the brain’s heightened pain response, which can significantly reduce overall pain..
