About this listen
A groundbreaking mind-body protocol to heal chronic pain, backed by new research.
Chronic pain is an epidemic. Fifty million Americans struggle with back pain, headaches, or some other pain that resists all treatment. Desperate pain sufferers are told again and again that there is no cure for chronic pain.
Alan Gordon, a psychotherapist and the founder of the Pain Psychology Center in Los Angeles, was in grad school when he started experiencing chronic pain, and it completely derailed his life. He saw multiple doctors and received many diagnoses, but none of the medical treatments helped. Frustrated with conventional pain management, he developed Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a mind-body protocol that eliminated his own chronic pain and has transformed the lives of thousands of his patients. PRT is rooted in neuroscience, which has shown that while chronic pain feels like it's coming from the body, in most cases it's generated by misfiring pain circuits in the brain. PRT is a system of psychological techniques that rewires the brain to break out of the cycle of chronic pain.
The University of Colorado Boulder recently conducted a large randomized controlled study on PRT, and the results are remarkable. By the end of the study, the majority of patients were pain-free or nearly pain-free. What's more, these dramatic changes held up over time. The Way Out brings PRT to listeners. It combines accessible science with a concrete, step-by-step plan to teach sufferers how to heal their own chronic pain.

Your autonomic nervous system is responsible for the constant but mostly subconscious communication between your brain and body. When you experience stress, anxiety, or trauma, your nervous system formulates responses to keep you alive. But you can also become trapped in survival mode if you’re consistently exposed to unsafe environments, toxic relationships, or destructive thought patterns. Mind-body practitioners Jen Mann and Karden Rabin now provide the first in-depth look at nervous system regulation, somatic therapy, Polyvagal theory, the vagus nerve, and the mind-body connection.

These Methods are Already Starting to Work for Me!
I am in awe of this book and the work behind it, so much so that I believe this is my first book review. In a book that is short but so sweet, Alan Gordon lays out (clearly with the help of his knowledgeable and insightful co-author, Alon Ziv) "the process" for ending chronic pain. It's already starting to work for me, and while it takes time and effort, they make it easy. The book is an easy read, easy to understand (aided by the anecdotes that make otherwise-challenging concepts turn into aha moments), compassionate, and humorous. Net effect: a truly elegant solution to one of mankind's worst plagues: chronic pain. I first bought the Audible version, then wanted the hard copy for easy reference. Alan's voice is so soothing & encouraging, that it helps the concepts sink in. I've been using related methods (including mindfulness & meditation, an app for chronic pain, Alan's tell me about your pain podcast produced in conjunction with that app, and others) for some time, and each new approach adds help & benefit. But in my opinion, Alan Gordon's methods taught here are for me the icing on the cake, and (pending publication of his peer-reviewed study with Tor Wager, a neuroscientist specializing in pain and Dr. Howard Schubiner, a physician specializing in treating pain with mind-body methods) apparently the most successful evidence-based approach for treating chronic pain. What a great listen! If you don't want the hard copy, buying the Kindle version and then the Audible (so as to use WhisperSync), might be an awesome alternate way to get the most out of this work.

Eye opening - this is how chronic pain should be taught
As a healthcare provider myself, and a new one at that, and as one that has been dealing with a chronic pain issue for 2 years, this book is one of the most eye opening things I’ve ever heard.
If you do with unrelenting chronic pain like I have, especially those that have tried every trinket and have seen every specialist, I urge you to listen to this book. It will reshape how you think about pain and who knows it could cure yours or at least turn it down a few food notches.

Potentially life-changing book
I have suffered from chronic pain for over six years, and can already tell improvement in my pain as a result of reading this book. It is well written, well performed, and simple to follow. Alan Gordon’s voice is calm and reassuring, and I especially appreciate his sense of humor, which adds lightness to what otherwise could be a rather heavy topic. The inclusion of examples of patient experiences helps to keep the book relatable. The book’s concepts are informed by the latest scientific understanding of pain, the brain, and how pain pathways develop. The suggested steps for overcoming chronic pain that is “neuroplastic” (not due to current structural physical disorders), if followed faithfully, could prove life-changing. For anyone suffering from or attempting to treat chronic pain—patients and practitioners alike—I highly recommend this book.

An Amazing Book
This is an incredible book. I have learned a lot about chronic pain over the past few years and this is the most comprehensive, well organized, and easy to understand resource I have come across on why chronic pain develops and how to treat it. Most of western medicine does a pretty terrible job treating chronic pain and the insights that developed from the Boulder study (which are presented in this book) really get at the heart of what drives the majority of chronic pain.
Putting aside the science that backs up the approach presented in this book, I was amazed at how well this book described so much of my experience with chronic pain. It was as if someone had written a book about my own journey with chronic pain and what I have come to understand about it through years of struggle. When someone who I have never met can describe my lived experience so accurately it is very clear that I am in the right place.
Lastly, I find it kind of crazy that Alan Gordon developed these techniques to get himself out of pain. That seems like some next level Jedi stuff, almost hard to believe! If you suffer from any kind of chronic pain you absolutely have to read this book.
