Thread:
Emotions or Pain Pathways? Help! I am losing hope.
Kerrj74, have you tried yelling at your brain and telling it to knock it off? After suffering from chronic back pain for years, I stopped it in less than 24 hours after reading Sarno's book about it. This was back in the 1990s and I really didn't think it would work but I had tried everything else and was desperate. So I just started yelling and cursing at my brain and soon the pain stopped. Just like that. Of course, a short while later it moved to my neck but since Sarno warned that can happen I wasn't concerned and laughed at it until that pain went away too. And I still do this today because apparently this condition is a chronic one for me--but it's one I can usually control quite well now. I've also found that yelling at my brain has worked wonders for eliminating feelings of anxiety and depression.
