Publisher's Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Rewire your brain, end your pain.

From back pain to migraines, arthritis and sciatica, more than 1.2 billion people worldwide suffer from regular or chronic pain, 28 million in the UK alone. It's a global epidemic that regularly resists treatment and can totally derail people's lives. But it doesn't have to be this way.

This is the revolutionary message from psychotherapist Alan Gordon who, frustrated by the lack of effective treatment for his own debilitating pain, developed a highly successful approach to eliminating symptoms without surgery or medication, offering a viable and drug-free alternative to existing - and often addictive - methods.

Based on the premise that pain starts in the brain not the body, Gordon's Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) enables you to rewire your neural circuits and turn off 'stuck' pain signals. In a ground-breaking study, PRT helped 98 percent of patients reduce their pain levels and 66 percent were completely cured. What's more, these dramatic changes held up over time.

In The Way Out, Gordon provides an easy-to-follow guide to ending your pain with PRT. Drawing on cutting-edge research along with his own experiences as a chronic pain sufferer, he will help you:

  • Understand how the brain can unintentionally 'learn' chronic pain.
  • Turn off pain signals that have become 'stuck' - these are false alarms.
  • 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, this audiobook will change the way you think about pain forever - and give you a way out of your pain today.

Thank you for helping me “OUT”!

This book is a blessing and came when I was desperate. After a lifetime of chronic migraines and countless efforts to beat/solve the pain, I finally discovered the work of John Sarno. This led me on a path to finally feeling there was a way out. I have been applying the techniques (on and off) with some small wins over the past few years, but the discovery of Alan’s simple and effective steps (such as somatic tracking) have provided the true awakening to me that there really IS hope and a way out of the nightmare. Alan’s guidelines are solid gold, simple, yet life-changing. And the cherry on the cake is his wonderful light, fun and cheeky personality. Thank you Alan. You have helped save my life! 🙏🏼🙂🌈

A must read for anyone with chronic pain

I couldn’t recommend this book any higher. If you are experiencing chronic pain you need to read this book. I also recommend the podcast with Alan and Alon ‘Tell me about your pain’ for more real life examples of this method being used with chronic pain patients.

Truly transformative and improved my quality of life

I was on all sorts of pain medication I and they began to lose efficacy. I was in deep despair and could see no way out. Until I downloaded this audiobook which was aptly termed The Way Out. I listened and re-trained my brain, and I am on my way to pain-free days. I am still work in progress but I am so hopeful about my future now. If you suffer from chronic pain, this may be your saviour.

An absolutely ground-breaking book! Everyone must read!

This book is a must read for everyone!

Whether you are currently suffering from chronic pain, or are just interested in learning how our brain controls our body’s sensations, then this is the book to listen to.

I have read many books on the subject of the amazing neuroplastic capacity of our brain, but this book delivers the subject matter in a very well planned and easy to understand way.

Importantly, the narrator (also the author), delivers this important information in a light and fun way, which naturally supports your being in the right playful frame of mind, which you need for success.

Yes, this book is so good, that I’ve listened to it multiple times, as the message is so well delivered and is also so important for understanding how you can improve your life.

Start listening now, and Enjoy!
