Unlearning Pain is an approach founded by Dr. Howard Schubiner, who was included in the 2003-2004, 2005-2006 and 2007 lists of the Best Doctors in America, authored over 60 publications in scientific journals and books, and founded of the Mind-Body Medicine Program at Providence Hospital. This treatment is based on pain neuroscience education, Pain Reprocessing Therapy and Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy, and acknowledges the impact of fear as well as the role of the brain in the pain process. This approach is frequently able to resolve, not just manage, pain presentations. Research has shown the ground-breaking effect of these psychological treatments in clinical practice.
This practice is for you if you've been struggling with chronic pain for any amount of time, whether at the following of a life accident or not, and have tried different therapies with little success.

By addressing the emotional factors tied to pain, you can reduce anxiety, fear, and stress.
Unlearning pain can reduce the need for pain medications or invasive treatments.
