PRT for Reducing Anxiety and Fear

Situation:

A few years ago, you injured your shoulder playing tennis. The injury healed, but the pain didn’t go away. Now, every time you reach for something or try to exercise, the pain flares up, making you afraid to move and reinforcing the cycle of pain and avoidance.

How PRT Helps:

PRT helps you break the pain-fear cycle by changing the way your brain perceives your shoulder’s pain signals. The therapy focuses on understanding that the pain you feel is due to your brain’s continued reaction to what it thinks is a threat. Through guided techniques like somatic tracking and mindful awareness, you’ll learn to notice these sensations without fear, eventually rewiring your brain to decrease the threat response and reduce or even eliminate the pain.
