Chronic neuroplastic pain is caused by the brain misinterpreting safe signals from the body incorrectly and generating signals in the absence of danger. Fear, anxiety, and preoccupation only exacerbate symptoms, keeping teens stuck in the cycle of chronic pain and preventing them from doing the things they love that are essential for healthy development. During adolescence, the brain is particularly receptive to change, both positive and negative, due to its neuroplasticity. As such, neural pathways can be more easily rewired than in adulthood, providing a unique opportunity for recovery.
This engaging, interactive workbook offers cutting-edge techniques from pain reprocessing therapy to help teens retrain their brains and guides those who support them. By leveraging the power of the brain’s unique neuroplasticity during this stage of life, teens will learn how to interrupt and reinterpret pain signals, leading to quick, lasting relief.

PAIN BRAIN
A documentary about a massive neuroscience study that challenges the medical industry’s approach to chronic pain.
When therapist Alan Gordon suggests psychology as the cure for millions of pain sufferers, it garners the attention of Yoni Ashar, a doctoral student working in the lab of Dr. Tor Wager, who is willing to put Alan’s claims to the test.
Pain Brain balances scientific breakthroughs alongside intimate therapy sessions with patients as Alan attempts to cure patients with only words and information.
How successful the treatment is could catalyze a paradigm shift – from body to brain – amongst healthcare providers and patients.
Unlearn Your Pain:
A 28 -Day Process to Reprogram Your Brain
Using cutting-edge research, this book demonstrates that the underlying reason for much chronic pain is brain sensitization and learned neural pathways, rather than actual tissue damage. Dr. Howard Schubiner has used this new understanding to develop a unique program to reverse pain.
1.5 billion people worldwide suffer from chronic pain, and many do not have to. Improved diagnostic and treatment protocols are needed to address the whole person. Medical providers feel stuck with limited tools to help chronic pain patients fully recover, while mental health clinicians lack understanding of medical diagnoses. Providers across all disciplines lack knowledge about which diagnoses are brain- rather than body-based. Doctors address that blind spot with hundreds of medical diagnoses common in neuroplastic patients. The book is based on published evidence and the authors’ experience diagnosing and treating neuroplastic pain in thousands of patients.
