Awesome! I look forward to reading it.

Hey! Yes, I was also relieved to find that there are other people with this and there is some kind of explanation. I started following Alan Gordan's program about two years ago and found that there is absolutely an emotional component to my brain fog. I still get it sometimes, especially when...

Thanks! I'll check it out

Alan Gordan, you are absolutely amazing. Each day of this pain recovery program is so on target and so easy to read and easy to relate to. This is comforting. . .

So lately I have been having difficulty with journaling. I have had a few really insightful and mind clearing experiences, but lately I have been feeling like I just get lost in what I am writing. My mind gets really foggy in general (my personal brand of TMS) so my thinking is just groggy and...

I so much identify with this thread. . . I am working a lot at treating all the parts of myself with kindness and compassion. Even the uncomfortable messy bits. It is pretty difficult especially when somethin is giving you so much trouble. I can't say the throwing of a cliff thing sounds...

I am actually blown away by this. I just had a really liberating insightful experience while journaling (day 6).

Hi there, thank you so much for sharing this. I've been having lots of ups and downs as far as the brain fog is concerned. I feel like the understanding of my symptoms as a cover for emotional pain has really settled with me and I am on the right track with following Sarno's approach. I am so...

It is pretty amazing that you healed your back in this way. I had an eating disorder (non-purging bulimia) for a few years and did a lot of journaling, meditation and distress tolerance work while healing from that. I was surprised by how much emotional pain I felt coming up for me. Now that my...

Hi Ilana(?) Thank you for so much for sharing this. It is so nice to know that other people are sharing the misery--and the recovery:) This is my first experience of feeling like there are people who really get it. One of the things that turned me onto Sarno's approach now (I have been familiar...

This forum sooo resonated with me! I have been having pressure towards the back of my head for a few years now. It is so good to read other people's descriptions of similar experiences (I'm not the only crazy one after all!), and to know that it does get better. Thank you all for sharing!

I have been struggling with severe brain fog for the past few years. It is exceptionally frustrating and has held me back in many areas-- studying, writing, art, connecting with friends--all things I love to do. I have mostly come to believe it is emotional, but this knowledge has not so much...
