This program will offer an exciting and cutting-edge model of clinical reasoning and intervention to reduce pain sensitivity by educating patients to pain mechanism.  While the term, "It's all in your head" has for years been offensive to patients, by taking the time to explain pain mechanisms and offering graded exposure to threat, patients are able to re-conceptualize their pain, decrease threat sensitivities and improve daily funtion.
