Welcome to Tell Me About Your Pain. I'm Alan Gordon.

And I'm Alonzev.

Today we're going to talk about a really common trap that people fall into when they're trying to overcome their pain.

And of all the episodes we've done so far, I think this is the most important one.

As always, we're excited to be doing this podcast in partnership with

Curable. Curable is an app for treating chronic pain, and they have tons of great exercises

and techniques to help you on your path to healing. You can check them out at curablehealth.com.

So before we dive in, I wanted to let you all know that after three years of writing,

dozens of drafts, and one very patient book editor, I'm excited to announce that our book is

finally available for pre-order. Yay! It's called The Way Out, a revolutionary, scientifically

proven approach to healing chronic pain. This is the most comprehensive

system on how to overcome pain that we've ever put together. We talk about the 12 key criteria

to determine whether your pain is neuroplastic. We go in depth about somatic tracking along with

examples and common pitfalls. And we're most excited about something that we call the process,

which is a new formula that we put together that's designed to help you maximize corrective

experiences and minimize setbacks in order to overcome pain.

The book has examples with real-life patients, fun stories and analogies, Winnie the Pooh quotes,

and much, much more. We're really proud of it,

and we think you'll find it really helpful. You can learn more about it and pre-order it at thewayout

book.com. All right, so let's get back to the episode. Our listeners know that I love to tell

stories about my daughter, Azalea. She's's eight and she's the apple of my eye.

I remember when my wife was pregnant, I used to joke that the perfect combination of our DNA would be if our daughter got my wife's looks and my wife's personality.
