After a long hiatus, Paintalk returns and wants to start off the new year strong with a look at new and interesting developments in how we understand and manage chronic pain. We first want to take what we'll call is a chronic pain update, mainly focusing on some of the skills that are being advocated for in regards to Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT). In particular we'll talk in relation to a new book released by Alan Gordon, an individual who has a lived experience with chronic pain. The book is called The Way Out, and was written together with Alan Gordons' colleague.
