About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Chronic pain is a global epidemic.

28 million people in the UK alone struggle with back pain, headaches or some other pain that resists all treatment, often being told again and again that there is no cure.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Frustrated by the lack of effective treatment for his own debilitating pain, psychotherapist Alan Gordon developed Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), a mind-body protocol that eliminated his own chronic pain and has transformed the lives of thousands of his patients. In a ground-breaking study, PRT helped 98% of patients reduce their pain levels and 66% were completely cured.

Now, in his incredible and inspiring book, The Way Out, Gordon shows you how to:

  • Understand how the brain can unintentionally 'learn' chronic pain
  • Turn off pain signals that have become 'stuck'
  • Use revolutionary techniques to break the cycle of fear that causes chronic pain
  • Develop long-term strategies for living pain-free

Game-changing, practical and full of real-life stories from Gordon’s clinical practice, The Way Out will change the way you think about pain forever – and give you a way out of your own chronic pain.

‘With straightforward and practical wisdom, The Way Out presents a sophisticated yet simple approach to understanding and healing chronic pain.’ Dr Gabor Maté, bestselling author of The Myth of Normal

‘Quite possibly the most important pain book ever written. The Way Out will be the answer for millions who live in constant agony.’ Annie Grace, author of This Naked Mind

‘All chronic pain patients owe it to themselves to read this book’ Andrew Weil, MD, New York Times bestselling author of Spontaneous Healing

‘Every clinician who treats chronic pain should read The Way OutSteven Richeimer, MD, Chief of Pain Medicine, USC Keck School of Medicine

‘The Way Out is quite simply the most effective treatment for chronic pain’ Howard Schubiner, MD, clinical professor at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, and founder and director of the Mind-Body Medicine Program, Ascension Providence Hospital

I came to this book having enjoyed Alan Gordon's brain training exercises on the Curable app. it is such an incredibly well written, well structured book. It has really helped me get more of a handle on the mind-body approach and how I can put it into practice. I have a sense of hope for the first time in years, and I believe my 'chronic' migraine is now on its way out. I loved hearing Alan read it to me as well - he does it so well and I love his voice.

Amazing, life-affirming, comforting and funny

I found Alan’s book after following some of his exercises o the curable app and his pain reprocessing therapy program on the Tms wiki site. I enjoyed hearing more about his approach and felt the book was well written and relatable. The approach shares some commonalities with other tms programs, but is more streamlined, centring around somatic tracking and messages of safety. Looking forward to applying these ideas on a more regular basis!

A great overview of mind body syndrome and the path required to overcome chronic symptoms

The whole of the medical profession need to know the facts about neuroplastic pain. The subject could not be explained better than it is in this book. The world needs to wake up to the new thinking and proof that the evidence Alan Gordon speaks of, is true!

Everyone should read this book
