Season 2, Episode 1

Welcome to Season 2 of the Pain Reprocessing Therapy Podcast. Daniel Lyman, LCSW — founding member of the Pain Psychology Center and Executive Director of the Mind Body Therapy Center — takes over as host this season, bringing a deep clinical background in neuroplastic symptoms and chronic pain recovery.

For the first episode, Daniel sits down with Gabrielle Jacobs, LCSW, Associate Director of the Mind Body Therapy Center, to tackle one of the most frustrating experiences in recovery: doing everything right and still feeling stuck.

In this episode, Daniel and Gabrielle discuss:

  • Why understanding PRT and healing through PRT are two different things
  • The concept of experiential safety — and why waiting to feel safe before acting keeps people stuck
  • How relationships (with people, work, environments, and patterns) directly impact the nervous system's ability to heal
  • Living with intensity: why the same personality traits that make people great at life can quietly work against recovery
  • The difference between eliminating symptoms and changing the patterns that sustain them
  • Identity fusion — when pain becomes part of how someone understands themselves, and how to gently begin to loosen that grip
  • Secondary gain: what the symptom might be providing, and how to give yourself that thing without needing the pain to get it

Key concepts mentioned:

  • Experiential safety and graded exposure
  • The fear-avoidance model
  • Somatic tracking
  • All-or-nothing thinking in recovery
  • Secondary gain
  • Neuroplastic symptoms
  • Identity and recovery

About the hosts:

Daniel Lyman, LCSW, is a psychotherapist and founding member of the Pain Psychology Center, where Pain Reprocessing Therapy was originally developed. He is the Executive Director of the Mind Body Therapy Center, a therapy and coaching practice serving clients worldwide dealing with chronic somatic symptoms.

Gabrielle Jacobs, LCSW, is the Associate Director of the Mind Body Therapy Center and a clinician specializing in neuroplastic symptoms and chronic pain. She has been deeply involved in the clinical world of Pain Reprocessing Therapy for many years.

Host John Gasienica sits down with Rachel, who developed severe post-viral chronic fatigue after a major COVID infection. Her symptoms—crushing exhaustion, brain fog, fear, and OCD spikes—left her doubting whether she’d ever get her life back. Together, John and Raelan Agle, a social worker and author who recovered from 10 years of ME/CFS, unpack how belief, emotion, and nervous system regulation interact when fatigue feels terrifying and permanent.

You’ll hear John work with Rachel in real time on two core beliefs:

“I’m physically broken.”

“I’m incapable of regulating myself.”

They explore how shifting from rumination and fear into sadness, grief, and healthy anger can loosen those beliefs and reduce the “monster” feeling of fatigue, even before symptoms entirely change.

Along the way, John and Raelan talk about:

  • Why people with histories of anxiety, OCD, and depression may be more vulnerable to neuroplastic fatigue
  • How emotional regulation (not emotional perfection) helps the nervous system feel safer
  • Why fatigue can feel uniquely frightening and isolating compared to other symptoms
  • The protective role of anger and assertiveness after medical invalidation and loss
  • How genuine joy, fun, and play are core nervous-system medicine, not “extras”

John also shares a framework for belief in recovery:

- Neuroplastic symptoms are real and can drive physical sensations.

- This might actually be what’s happening in my body.

- I can learn to regulate my nervous system with support.

At the end of the episode, John announces that this is the last episode of Season One and his final episode as host. He shares where he’s headed next (including a Substack for clinicians) and how to keep learning about Pain Reprocessing Therapy and neuroplastic symptoms.

What you’ll learn

- Why severe fatigue can feel so terrifying and isolating—and why that reaction makes sense

- How core beliefs like “I’m broken” and “I can’t regulate myself” keep symptoms feeling permanent

- A practical way to shift from anxiety and rumination into sadness, grief, and healthy anger

- How emotional regulation and belief interact to create safety in the nervous system

- Why joy, play, and doing things you genuinely enjoy are powerful predictors of recovery

- The “three layers of belief” about neuroplastic symptoms and where you might be stuck

Dr. Becca Kennedy, a board-certified family medicine physician who treats neuroplastic conditions, joins John to unpack medical invalidation, loneliness in chronic pain, and why learning to access anger, compassion, and play can unlock recovery. You’ll also hear a real coaching segment with “Sarah,” navigating vulvodynia, fear, and uncertainty with step-by-step emotional work and somatic tracking.

What you’ll learn

Why certainty isn’t required for recovery—and how to “negotiate” with the brain’s demand for it.

A gentle, repeatable way to sit with fear and sadness so safety messages can finally land.

How practicing anger expression (safely) restores agency after medical gaslighting.

Somatic tracking: Relaxing bracing and signaling “nothing to protect”.

Re-introducing play and joy as evidence to your brain that you’re safe—even while symptoms are present.

John and Dr. Clarke discuss how trauma and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) can shape chronic pain and stress, and why traditional tools don’t always work for those with PTSD. Together, they guide patient Rachel through techniques to face emotions of grief, fear, and anger, while learning to see physical symptoms as expressions of emotions rather than signs of damage.

Key topics include:

Understanding trauma as a driver of chronic pain

The three major consequences of childhood trauma (triggers, suppressed emotions, and people-pleasing)

Why stillness and compassion can feel unsafe for trauma survivors

How to use the physiological sigh and mindfulness tools for regulation

Steps to build self-esteem, self-compassion, and sustainable healing
