I love this! And I’m so glad to hear your back pain is gone. Living with pain is a dreaded existence. I’m going to share it with a friend who is now suffering from her own back pain (or brain.) “Gateway hug” 🤗

Great! I mentioned pain reprocessing therapy to at least 3 doctors, including 2 spine specialists. I was surprised the first 2 did not express interest - or familiarity. Only my primary care doctor asked questions & said, Good to know. I have patients who could really use this.

Yes! I found Alan Gordon and Alon Ziv’s podcast and book right when it came out. Really changed my approach to migraines. Still a thing but no longer as scary. I’m seeing more health professionals talk about NPE - educating patients about pain.

“Gateway hug” —Did that just pop into your head? Delightful.
