Thanks Karin.
There is a great deal of information from the past couple of decades on the relationship between chronic pain and the common mind-body conditions such as fibromyalgia, migraine, IBS, pelvic pain and trauma. This has been shown many times and a good resource for articles on this is PPDAssociation.org bibliography.
It’s often difficult to know if one needs to deal with these traumas in order to recover, as many people recover by having a good assessment, the powerful knowledge that they are not actually physically damaged and using the PRT techniques. But some people definitely need to address that trauma in order to recover. We don’t know who those people are until we get into treatment and see how they respond!
Best, Howard
