Maybe I'm missing something here, but from his very brief description of the methods used, I thought that there was at least some "method" or "logic" to it.
Which seems to indicate that the "treatment" is something much more vague like...journaling, support groups, therapy...?
Pardon the stereotype, but I'm imagining some old women's knitting group or something...or all the stuff about "repressed anger" "childhood abuse", etc....if that were the case, wouldn't women's circles, group therapy, individual therapy, anger management classes, spontaneously start curing people of their pain? I don't see anything specific about this method.
Maybe I'm missing something very basic? Distraction and getting your mind off of it is a well known way to deal with pain. I didn't think that was new.
But then I brought up:
