PRT: A Game Changer for Chronic Pain
Healing Chronic Pain Through Mind-Body Connection
Living with chronic pain can feel overwhelming, especially when medical tests don’t show a clear cause or when treatments bring little relief. If you’ve been struggling with back pain, migraines, fibromyalgia, or other forms of persistent pain, there’s a new approach worth exploring: Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT).
At Shifting Tides Psychotherapy, our clinician Madeline Pucheril, LMSW, is trained in this powerful method and is currently accepting new clients in New York and Connecticut. She also offers a free consultation, making it easy to see if this approach is right for you.
What Is Pain Reprocessing Therapy?
Pain Reprocessing Therapy is a research-backed treatment that helps people retrain the brain’s response to pain signals. Chronic pain often persists because the brain has learned to misinterpret safe signals from the body as dangerous. Over time, this “misfiring alarm system” keeps pain active, even when there is no structural injury.
PRT uses a combination of education, mindfulness, and somatic techniques to help clients:
Understand how pain is generated in the brain.
Shift fear-based responses to sensations.
Rewire neural pathways to reduce or eliminate pain.
What Changes Can You Expect?
Clients who engage in Pain Reprocessing Therapy often notice:
Reduced pain intensity and frequency.
Increased ability to engage in daily activities without fear.
Improved emotional well-being, as anxiety and stress linked to pain decrease.
A stronger sense of control and confidence in their body.
Many people find that pain no longer defines their life and they can finally focus on what matters most—relationships, goals, and self-care.
Why Choose Pain Reprocessing Therapy?
Unlike treatments that only address physical symptoms, PRT focuses on the mind-body connection, helping you break the cycle of fear and avoidance that keeps pain alive. It’s an empowering, evidence-based approach designed for people who are tired of feeling stuck and are ready for real change.
