Chronic pain and migraine are highly debilitating conditions that are estimated to affect a large proportion of the world's population. Currently used behavioral interventions for chronic pain having "stress-relieving" properties (e.g. relaxation, mindfulness, biofeedback, CBT) have been highly recommended to better manage pain conditions either as standalone treatments or in combination with pharmacotherapy. However, despite their use, these behavioral interventions are limited and may not provide long-lasting relief.
New approaches for pain treatment including Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET) have gained popularity for their use and effectiveness for chronic pain and migraine treatment.
Participants who work with these conditions are encouraged to attend and learn about these novel and promising treatments.

Real, practical intervention you can bring to your clients in your next session
Dr. Dan Kaufmann, ACMHC, is a Research Assistant Professor in the University of Utah's Division of Rheumatology. He has a Ph.D. in Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmaceutics, and he started his career designing new drugs for epilepsy and neuropathic pain. That work includes SPD, a patented anticonvulsant and migraine-prevention compound. His research has since moved toward the emotional side of chronic pain: how sex, stress, and affect shape migraine, and how psychological treatments can help people with rheumatic disease. He is now completing training as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor. His recent study found that Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET) shows real promise for migraine, and it highlighted the role trauma plays for people with migraine.
