0:00 Tanner tells his personal chronic pain story
2:43 Howard Schubiner, MD defines Pain Reprocessing Therapy
5:10 FIRST CRITICAL STEP IN PRT: Get an assessment for neuroplastic pain versus structural pain. (Do not skip this step! It is critical for reducing fear, which is the whole game.)

Tanner lays out the criteria for identifying neuroplastic pain: if there no damage discovered in the body, does the symptom switch on and off, does it move around and spread over time, does stress make it worse, is there a history of childhood stress or trauma, do you have multiple pain syndromes, and many more.

9:10 How to get an accurate assessment if you can't see a "mind-body-informed physician" — hint: most people don't need a special mind-body physician.
