I have been trying to get an understanding of TMS and Dr. Sarno's work to get rid of chronic back pain and sciatica for over a year, so I can return to running without pain. As of yet, I haven't had success. I saw a mention in a YouTube video about TMS mentioning a video of Dr. Sarno's...

So I'm doing the homework, finishing up The Divided Mind, and continuing to run like my primary care physician advised me to. I have noticed the pain going away in my low back, and a little bit of a change in the sensation? The soreness is disappearing, and I feel almost like a heat sensation in...

I am having real success from reading The Divided Mind, and doing the homework each day, usually for a bit in the morning and a bit in the evening. I have noticed that in the morning when I first wake up, I can be a little stiff and the pain is mostly in my shoulders, when it was originally in...

I've only really just started recovery from TMS, I just started the self-reflection exercises a few days ago, and the pain I have had has gone haywire, at times disappearing completely, then wandering to different parts of my body that did not hurt all all before. And it is seriously convincing...

Man, this is so incredibly encouraging to hear. I completely understand the truth of all this. Just working on truly accepting it. Thanks man!

Thanks for your response @JanAtheCPA ! I completely understand what you're saying about no one here being able to advise against something an ortho doc told me a few years ago, that makes sense. And I also see the sense now in what you're saying about the unlikelihood that someone here has had...

I have recently discovered Dr. Sarno, and TMS. My awareness came about because I developed low back pain about 5 months ago that didn't resolve. I have really gotten into fitness again, (I'm 37), and began running and lifting weights regularly about a year ago. I've lost 100 pounds over the past...
