The 8-Week Chronic Pain Recovery Programme

This Programme Is For You If

You have been in pain long enough
to know something needs to change

🔍

Scans show nothing definitive

You have had MRIs, X-rays and consultations. The results came back inconclusive, normal, or did not match the severity of your experience.

🔄

Pain that moves, shifts or fluctuates

Your symptoms change with stress, emotions, sleep or circumstances in ways that a purely structural explanation cannot account for.

😰

Fear has become part of daily life

You avoid movements, situations or activities because of what pain might mean. Life has become smaller as a result.

🏥

Conventional treatment has not held

Physio, medication, injections and procedures may have helped temporarily but the pain has returned. You are ready for a different approach.

Programme Structure

Your 8-week journey, session by session

Each 80-minute session follows a structured clinical protocol while adapting pace and depth to where you are. You are never pushed faster than your nervous system can safely move.

Week1

Safety and Proof of Change

Understanding Your Pain

We establish the neuroscience foundation of your pain and begin gathering evidence that your symptoms are neuroplastic rather than structural. You learn your first nervous system regulation technique and complete the Neuroplastic Checklist.

Week2

Stop the Fight

Breaking the Pain Fear Cycle

You discover how chasing relief actually signals danger to your nervous system. We introduce outcome independence, box breathing, and begin identifying pain behaviours that are maintaining the cycle.

Week3

Build Self-Trust Through Micro Exposure

Teaching Your Brain You Are Safe

We introduce somatic tracking at level one and design your first graded exposure to an avoided movement. Expressive writing begins and we explore where safety already exists in your life.

Week4

Turn Resistance Into Collaboration

Working With Your Protective Parts

Using the Internal Family Systems model, we explore the parts of you that resist recovery and what they are protecting. Emotional activation work begins alongside cognitive reframing of pain-related thoughts.

Week5

Leadership During Symptoms

Responding Rather Than Reacting

You learn the NABS/NOW framework for responding to symptom spikes with calm leadership rather than fear. We also introduce Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy, known as EAET, to help safely access, express and release emotions, stress or trauma responses that may be held in the body and contributing to persistent pain. Traditional or more active somatic tracking is introduced based on your progress, and one valued activity is reintroduced.

Week6

End Scanning and Preoccupation

Breaking Hypervigilance

We address the spotlight effect of hypervigilance and teach you to shift attention outward. Positive sensations are actively cultivated and messages of authentic safety are embedded into daily practice.

Week7

Decondition Sensation from Danger

Separating Sensation from Threat

Advanced somatic tracking at level three begins. You learn to experience sensation as information rather than danger. The open-focus attention tool introduces a new way of relating to your pain experience.

Week8

Flare Mastery and Independence Plan

Building Your 30-Day Forward Plan

We consolidate your preferred somatic tracking protocol, build your personalised flare management plan, and create your 30-day ladder progression. You leave with a complete independent practice framework.
