Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) Crash Course, Dr. Yoni Ashar 

I worked with this model for 2 years for leg, hip, cramping muscles, sciatica nerve pain. I had improvement and then relapse. It finally turned out that my hip was necrotic, my femur head was shredded and collapsed. It was a mess. I had a hip replacement. But what I found was that just learning there was a structural issue that could be addressed reduced my pain by 60% because the fear and constant ruminating ceased. I used meditation, breathing, and self-hypnosis to reduce fear further and reframe the surgery from scary to restorative. I had a very successful surgery and needed very little pain meds. I took only Tylenol, did not need narcotics and healed very well. I clearly had the hybrid of primary and secondary pain and I used a hybrid strategy to recover. I am fully active and pain free. Your work provides science based evidence for my experience. Thank you!

It makes me a bit sad that pain patients are concerned a burden. I remember my mom meeting with a new GP, and he wouldn’t take her on because she had chronic pain. I think the medical system has significantly failed us by not providing these modalities as a cure.

Thanks Yoni & Deb. I’ve been through a million videos on the subject and I’ve found this one particularly informative or perhaps transformative. I think speaking on the subject can really help people. I’ve decided to do some writing about evidence today, or lack thereof. Thank you!

Fantastic presentation. Thank you very much.

Thank you both! That was so informative and encouraging ❤

Fantastic content! Thanks a lot for sharing! Looking forward to do the training. It's a bit expensive for me, living in a developing country. I hope I can find a way, bc there are so many people in need of this treatment where I live.

Hi, great presentation. Is there any chance you could release the power point slides. It'd be a great resource to use with patients.

How do I change the pain?? You guys keep talking but I don't know what you're talking about. Tell me what to do to get rid of my pain. Thank you.

Thanks for this presentation! Are there any tips on treating people who experience primary pain and have autism? Would love to hear your opinion!

Wondering if this could help with tinitus... will try based on the technique in alan's book

I actually did quickly see that bee in the first black and white picture so what does that suggest in what you’re outlining?

What does this show us about Pharmaceutical drug trials for "chronic pain" and making drugs that are competely ineffective or even dangerous!

power of the mind for poor or traumatized people who fall through the very huge racks in the system WE ARE F___KED

I wish there were something like this for habits.

What’s with the audio fluctuations

Could you tell me where arthritis comes into this?

We just need to understand that the pain isn’t the problem it’s our reaction to the pain that is the problem.

Where do I find this program?

Can you help people who have been trying to unlearn pain for almost two years with only a little change?

Can the non-pain threats cause back pain?

Has this been helpful with chronic migraine/chronic headache/new daily persistent headache?

Have you guys had much success treating patients with secondary pain? Thx

I knew it was a bee right away... but I still have this horrible pain all over that I can't figure out!... so you try not to "figure it out"?

I now take. Neuro. Mag for thos problem. It crosses the. Blood. Brain barrier and it works. It's called. Magnesium l threonate.

Would EMDR help wirh this?

U can't tell yourself your not in a dangerous situation if u have been your hole life mine is frim an injury to my spine alongside abuse consequences of my childhood

What about your cancer can come back .. y’all need to get on the program wirh cancer… how can u see sooo much and still keep missing this is how cancer pathology persists

Still, this pain is real, all pain is real. When you give someone an emotional injury and do an F MRI of the brain and then you give them a physical injury and do F MRI of the brain is the images are the same. Because the danger salience network of the brain activates pain and it can activate pain in relation to a physical injury or it can activate pain in relation to an emotional injury. So, if your boss is micromanaging you, if your spouse is cheating, if your kids are doing drugs. That can cause physical pain because it's activating the exact same danger signal that an injury would. That's how our brains are constructed.

I saw the bee in flowers immediately, but I have a bee phobia. 😅

The nose has a knows

You just took Dr John Sarnos research and renamed it

CRONIC pain-pain that persist for more then 6 months

There is one notable flaw in the study I cannot resist highlighting: the control groups are kind of terrible. They can’t really “control” anything. Ashar et al. told the people in the placebo group that the injections were saline solution, so … yeah, not actually a placebo control there.4 And the usual-care group had the same problem they always do: you can do literally anything to people that’s “unusual,” and it will probably outperform “usual,” and that doesn’t mean it’s effective. Dr. Edzard Ernst called this design “unethical pseudo-science.”5
