Pain reprocessing therapy (PRT)

I specialise in working with people who suffer from long standing chronic conditions including back pain, joint pain, fibromyalgia, brain fog, dizziness, depression, anxiety , long standing pain after an accident, birth recovery and other chronic conditions.

In my early 20’s I was told that I would be in pain for the rest of my life after having an MRI on my lower back. I was devastated and felt my life had fallen apart. Every movement was restricted, I could no longer dance, or run or get out of bed freely.

Then one day I read a book ‘healing back pain’ by Dr John E Sarno, this was the beginning of my journey that got me pain free. All I needed was to understand how my brain works, and realise what was actually causing my pain was not a structural problem but neural pathways that had got stuck in a fear response. Over the next few months my pain drastically reduced and now I live my life as I did before my back pain started. I run, dance, play and get out of bed anyway i want!

In our sessions we look at some of the most up to date neuroscience and gain an understanding of how pain works. We then work with Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) to change the neural pathways of the brain. Turning down the danger/alarm signals and increasing a sense of ease and safety. Sometimes I will bring in some shiatsu to help regulate the nervous system and help a landing into the body.

Sometimes, but not always, it is then necessary to work on the underlying emotions and we do this with Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET). EAET is a therapy that is used on people who have chronic pain conditions. It is a psychological therapy that works with stress and trauma. Often this stress and trauma is from early stages in a person’s life (but not always). It is gentle and yet can be profoundly powerful, showing to have significant benefits on people who are overcoming their symptoms.

Research is showing that stress from our childhood, accidents, and unexpressed feelings are playing a huge role in the chronic pain/symptom conditions we experience, and by working with these stresses we are able to rewire the brain and reverse chronic pain.

How many session that are needed is completely individual. Sometimes all thats needed is 1-3 sessions. However sometimes something more long term is required.

Please note that I am not a therapist. The work that I offer has therapeutic elements and we will explore the emotional  aspects to what may be contributing to the pain you experience. However it is more than possible, that I'll suggest you also work alongside a therapist.
By coming to see me I need you to have a willingness to meet what is coming up, and an openness to explore what is challenging. I’m not here to ‘fix’ you, but I can offer a safe space and life changing tools that can help you to work with your symptoms. The success of this approach depends on your willingness and participation. Each person is different and each healing journey has its own time line.

This work is not easy, but it can be life changing. 
I look forward to journeying with you!

“I have been working with Amy whilst at a time where my trajectory of health could go down the road of Autoimmune dis-ease - including allergies, cancer, chronic fatigue... and with her sufficient knowledge of Neuroscience, her beauty full heart felt deep authentic presence, and her ability to follow her intuition, I have started to regress some of these symptoms to open up to other possibilities of healing, opening and softening to that which is true, and bringing home very vulnerable parts.
I have really enjoyed working with Amy, and would recommend her way of working to anyone, especially women! Thank you Amy, for gently supporting me on this path of healing, being, and meeting with love.”
