About this listen

Story at-a-glance
  • Two-thirds of chronic back pain sufferers became pain-free or nearly pain-free after just four weeks of pain reprocessing therapy
  • Psychological therapy rewires how your brain processes pain, reducing activity in brain regions that amplify fear and threat
  • A large clinical trial found that belief shifts — specifically learning that pain isn’t a sign of injury — were strongly tied to lasting relief from chronic back pain
  • Functional MRI scans confirmed that therapy changed not just symptoms, but the brain’s physical pain networks and emotional circuits
  • You can begin retraining your brain at home using CBT-based strategies, guided movement, and tools that target fear-pain loops
