THANK YOU! This was the very first PRT/AEAT video I watched. It opened my eyes & literally changed the course of my life. Thru simple PRT skills I was soon able to eliminate 6 years of chronic pain & varied 'unexplained' symptoms. I recognize now, there's been a pattern of neurocircuit symptoms throughout my life, that might have been avoided had I known. I'm going to watch the film "This Might Hurt" tonight!!! Moving forward, I'm hopeful AEAT will help curb or prevent future flair ups.....I wish this video would go viral, so others might might have the same opportunity to learn & benefit.
Thanks @LCSW4269 for sharing your remarkable story! We're curious to know what you think of the film. You can always reach us directly at at tmhfilm@gmail.com - Kent
I'm a manual therapist, in practice since 1995 and also had several mind created pain syndromes that scared the crap out of me, but I used what I knew with my clients which was to dialogue with the pain and eventually was able to get them to resolve with forgiveness and prayer, largely. Then I discovered John Sarno's work and was like hallelujah! There is science behind this! I'm now pursuing an ontological coaching accreditation as I've added pain and trauma healing coaching to my practice. As to scope of practice, bodyworkers can fall into a middle realm as we have anat/phys training, and in my case, also a medical background, and so can help patients/clients navigate through diagnostic reports, but in the end, the proof is in the pudding. Most people I've found want to be out of pain without surgery and toxic, addiction forming pharmaceuticals and are often willing to give this a try. Thanks for sharing this, it's going to revolutionize health and medical care, but going to have to be consumer demand led. It's going to happen!
When doctors refuse to do the testing or the testing is not adequate its pretty hard to be convinced that your body is structurely sound. Many people have lived with pain for years then finally found out they have cancer. Patients often say that they knew something was wrong but doctors would not believe them
Hi, thanks for your comment. You're so right that oftentimes people are mistreated by the medical world, and are denied tests and treatments that they need. Sometimes this is because of discrimination or incompetence or both. For someone who is not sure if they have something structural or neuroplastic (aka mind-body), and who has been denied testing for structural problems, there are options for doing the assessments for neuroplastic versus structural conditions on their own, which is free. Learning to apply the F.I.T. criteria, someone can assess their own symptoms: www.thismighthurtfilm.com/how-to-assess-pain It's not a replacement for proper medical testing, but many people with chronic pain find it helpful.
I add one more step even BEFORE the wonderful steps listed around @ 32:00: Do NOT claim it as 'MY pain'. It's 'THE pain'. Owning it as 'MY' I believe causes it to become more of our identity, increasing the challenge of the mind in releasing it. NO more 'MY pain', no more 'MY diagnosis', no more 'MY disease-name'. HUge huge huge.
@@ThisMightHurt Thank you for your reply, and for all you all are doing to support healing that our beautiful body IS truly capable of when we can learn new ways of living and being.
I'm 75 mostly healthy life. Concussion some years ago left me mobility impaired, balance, muscle memory... C on current with constant back & hip pain. I know some is arthritic. Opioids have been the only relief but can't get an Rx. As I am largely bed-bound it's difficult to access anything. Have a new doctor a visiting physician second visit upcoming. What can I refer her to in order to convince her that opioid Rx is a reasonable decision to use?
can someone please point me in the direction of resources IN SPANISH regarding all of these brilliant innovations? i am more than happy to translate as much as i can for my family members, who are STRUGGLING and deserve their lives back, BUT that would take so many lifetimes and I can only do so much as I, too, am on my own pain healing journey. It has been so rough some moments or bleak or dark, and i am eternally grateful to hearts, and intellectual, academic minds in medical circles who are doing this truly amazing work. thank you SO MUCH, for everthing you do. this makes an absolute difference and I am honored to exist at the same time as you all.
Hi @summontheshadow -- thanks for your comment. Yes, there are a lot of translations now thanks to people who feel the same way as you. And there are native Spanish speaking practitioners who do this healing work with patients with chronic symptoms. I can highly recommend Lilia Graue, MD, who you can find at this link. She is a wonderful practitioner, physician, therapist, and coach: www.liberatedeldolorcronico.com We created an all-Spanish page on our website that is packed with Spanish resources, including our film which has Spanish subtitles. We'd like to acknowledge Miquel Bernadó and Paola Saslow who did our translations. They also translate Unlearn Your Pain into Spanish.

I have no structural damage whatsoever yet I’m suffering severely with fibromyalgia and chronic headaches and fatigue for over two decades. I’m not able to leave my house. My question is who or where can I find help? I’m barely making it and extremely desperate. Thank you

So I was told I have lumbar stenosis. When I’m standing I don’t have any discomfort but after a few minute I start experiencing some lower back pain and if I don’t move my feet may start tingling; same thing with walking I can walk and feel fine then start feeling back and hip pain. I don’t have pain right away but develops gradually, can this be neroplasticity pain?
Does this therapy work for peole who have physica traumas? My ct scan shows blunt force trauma injury in my abdomen from an accident and ive had terrible pain due to lower bowel adhesions that developed. The surgen told me my pain is not in my head as he sees physical damage in the ct scan. So i was wondering if this therapy only works on those that dont have physcal causes ( ie injurues causing the pain)? Ii don't have fear due to my pain.
Hi Brian, We are not doctors and do not give any specific advice for individuals. We can talk about the ideas behind your question though. As a general rule, no this therapy is not for acute physical trauma. However, most major physical trauma will heal within the span of about year, with the proper medical treatment that is recommended. And pain symptoms will trend downward as healing occurs. Signs of the brain being involved in amplifying or creating pain: 1. If pain symptoms persist well beyond the expected healing. 2 if pain dramatically varies based on whether it's morning or evening, day to day, or week to week. 3. if the pain moves from one part of the body to another. 4. if emotional or social stress significant aggravate the pain. More factors can be found on our site here: www.thismighthurtfilm.com/unlearningpain (also check out the feature length film we made) These kinds of questions can help you assess whether the damage from the physical trauma is keeping pain turned on, or if the brain has taken over and is creating pain (which is very common). Generally medical professionals are skilled at assessing acute physical trauma and treating it, but they often misattribute back pain to a car accident that happened years ago, but is no longer the cause of pain, for example. MRIs are oversensitive and are often presumed to be indicating a source of pain when that, in fact, not the case. Our suggestion, if you feel unsure with what your doctor is saying, is to consult with "mind-body informed" physicians like Lilia Graue, MD, Howard Schubiner, MD, John Stracks MD. They field inquiries from anywhere in the world. They can help you sort out what is caused by damage, and what is potentially caused by mind-body dynamics. Wishing you luck. Thanks, Kent

After years of types of gut issues. The light really went on when I had sympathy pain when a loved one broke her leg. I saw how powerful the brain is.

Great point! It's very true that when we personalize things we tend to identify with them more, rather than letting them go. Thanks for sharing.
