As part of the PRM Protocol, we offer behavioral therapy techniques where our behavioral health providers guide patients towards empowering them through Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) to provide patients with effective strategies for coping with chronic pain. MBCT is an evidence-based approach that can be helpful in placing pain in a healthier context and reducing stress responses that exacerbate pain.
We know that your pain is real and we will never normalize your pain or symptoms. Chronic pain is a real problem with real physical causes – not something that is “just in your head.” We also know that your experience of pain is greatly affected by the interplay between your body and your brain. Our goal is to help patients use behavioral therapy techniques to stop the brain from constantly interpreting nervous system signals as painful, as it has done for so long. Empowering patients with these techniques will allow them to experience a reduction in their pain during their course of treatment.
It is important for our patients to know that they are not alone in their pain and suffering. Because chronic pelvic pain is usually a silent and silenced condition, patients may feel as if there is no one to share their feelings with, but there are many others who also feel this way and there is a community of people out there who are looking for others to help support them on their healing journey.
We offer a variety of support groups and workshops where patients learn a variety of brain exercises and listen to each other’s feedback as a way to feel support and gain perspective. All wellness courses and groups are done through a safe and secure online environment. There are no in-person meetings

Behavioral health is part of the PRM Protocol and emphasizes a holistic approach to health, where we provide patients with a safe, supportive space to explore their health issues and goals. With The PRM Protocol, we go further than addressing the symptoms on the surface – we treat the underlying causes of pelvic pain.
