Andy B, Thanks so much! This is great. This helps me a lot. I have read Dr. Sarno's books and I get the general idea of what he recommends people do to recover from TMS symptoms but I was looking for more a specific guideline. I was looking for what Dr. Sarno had his patients actually do...

Does anyone know where to get a Dr. Sarno "healing back pain" study guide? I know it comes with the DVD but I watched the DVD online so I would prefer to just buy the study guide. I have TMS and want to work Sarno's program which apparently you can do with the study guide. I know other people...

Thanks very much Velvet_Hidden!

I heard somewhere (I can't recall where) that the DVD came with a study guide. Is that true? If not, did Dr. Sarno have a TMS recovery study guide? Thanks!

Thanks very much for this thoughtful and insightful program! I am a bit unclear about the approach in this program, or at least today's lesson. It seems to emphasize overcoming your pain by not being afraid of it. I guess the idea is fear feeds the pain and keeps it alive whereas letting go...

I have not started a recovery program yet and I was thinking I would do this one: http://www.tmswiki.org/forum/painrecovery/, but does anyone have a better suggestion? I fully subscribe to Sarno's ideas (I have read all his books now) and feel I very much fit the mold but I am struggling to know...

MindBodyPT, you raise an excellent point. I had not thought of that. I suppose most people experience tinnitus from time to time. Looking back, I have experienced an occasional temporary ringing or buzzing since as long back as I can remember. It usually goes away as quickly as it comes and...

I had sent an email to Alan Gordon (the Director of the The Pain Psychology Center in Los Angeles and the founder of this TMS wiki I believe) to ask his thoughts of tinnitus. He said "tinnitus is definitely tms". Not sure his thoughts of developing a symptom that the suffer has never heard of...

Hi Any64tms, Thanks for the great feedback. I did not mention perfectionism, frugality and being overly obsessive, but you sure are correct, those are traits I have and are huge part of my life. I am glad your tinnitus is does not cause you grief, it does me, which is why I thought it could...

In the book "The Divided Mind" Sarno points out that the symptoms we develop are generally symptoms we know about. For example, things like back pain, carpal tunnel, ulcers, etc... are all symptoms that are very much in our society's consciousness. Since we know about them and they work for...

In response to a TMS question about recovery, part of Dr. Schubiner's response is one's "ability to recognize the process as TMS and to clearly understand that there is no physical reason why they cannot get better". My question is, how do we know whether our symptom is TMS and not a physical...
