About this app

Chronic pain is experienced when one’s body under a sustained state mental or physical threat. The stress chemistry causes elevated fuel consumption (metabolism) and inflammation. This translates into many different physical and mental symptoms. The solution lies in learning to regulate your body’s physiology from a threat response towards feelings of safety.

The sequence of the app is:
• Awareness
• Hope
• Forgiveness
• Play

However, you cannot go from chronic pain to play without specific tools to alter your physiology. The DOC Journey will show you how to accomplish this, and with repetition, these strategies will easily become a part of your daily life. The app includes a toolbox that can be easily referenced throughout any part of the journey.

The power to heal is in your hands.
