Abstract
This one-day professional workshop is designed for psychologists seeking to integrate Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) into their practice. PRT is a novel and revolutionary approach to pain management that retrains the brain to accurately interpret and respond to bodily signals, effectively breaking the cycle of chronic pain. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical foundations and scientific evidence supporting PRT. The workshop will cover all key components of PRT, including pain neuroscience education, safety statements, and somatic tracking. Practical strategies for incorporating PRT into existing therapeutic frameworks will be discussed. Attendees will also learn how to navigate common barriers and maintain patient engagement throughout the implementation of PRT. By the end of the workshop, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to effectively integrate PRT into their clinical practice, offering patients a transformative approach to pain management.

Presenter
Emily Moore, Ph.D., R.Psych
Dr. Emily Moore is a Clinical Instructor at Stanford University School of Medicine, Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine. She is passionate about helping individuals navigate pain, find fulfillment, harness motivation and flourish in their lives.
Dr. Moore obtained her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, from McGill University. Throughout her doctoral training, she conducted research exploring the role of psychosocial variables in pain-related disability as well as goal achievement. Dr. Moore subsequently completed a pain psychology internship at the Alan Edwards Pain Management Center in Montreal, Canada. Dr. Moore’s desire to build expertise in the biopsychosocial treatment of chronic pain prompted her to complete the Stanford Clinical Pain Psychology Fellowship. During fellowship, she received specialized training in the treatment of a wide range of chronic pain presentations, co-developed a group intervention for migraine and completed the Pain Reprocessing Therapy certification course.
Following her training, Dr. Moore established a private practice focused on serving individuals struggling to navigate co-occurring physical and mental health challenges. Concurrently, Dr. Moore collaborated on a number of research projects aimed to optimize psychological intervention for chronic pain in a group format. Dr. Moore recently returned to the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine as faculty and divides her time between clinical care, teaching, and research.
Dr. Moore aims to combine research and clinical theory to develop individualized treatment plans that address unique patient needs, resonate with goals and support growth. Dr. Moore incorporates a number of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Pain (CBT-CP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) into her work.
