This is part two of our experimental two-part series following David, a patient living with chronic foot pain. In Episode 4, David received a neuroplastic pain diagnosis. In Episode 5, we go a step further—showing what happens when that diagnosis is explored through therapy.

What you’ll hear in this episode:
– A live, unscripted therapy session combining Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), somatic tracking, and Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET)
– Real-time reduction in pain as David rewires his brain’s fear response
– Exploration of childhood emotional patterns, perfectionism, and self-directed anger
– A somatic shift that helps David reclaim movement, safety, and strength
– Dr. Howard Schubiner’s expert commentary on the science behind each moment

This episode is about more than pain—it’s about the emotional undercurrents that shape how we experience our bodies, and the incredible transformation that can occur when we meet our pain with curiosity, compassion, and courage.

Bonus: Stay tuned to the end to hear Dr. Schubiner’s reflections on the future of healing—blending neuroscience, trauma-informed care, and emotional expression into one powerful therapeutic approach.
