Nice one. A book I've really found helpful is "Mindsight" by Daniel Siegel. I'm a big fan of his because I never really "got" meditation until I listened to his explanation (via audiobook). While not strictly TMS related, its been the a close second to Sarno's work in terms of my personal recovery.

You're very welcome. Glad you found it useful.

Hi Laurenld777, What are you looking for in a new book on TMS? The reason I ask is that my perfectionist brain I fell into the trap of "reading every last page of material on TMS". Fast forward six months and I was suffering major analysis paralysis! I got nowhere. You've certainly read the...

Hi tmrsi, I've built out a compressive list of videos, audio files (and text based programs) over here: https://tsugi.health/free-chronic-pain-resources/ (The Ultimate List Of Free Chronic Pain Resources - Tsugi Health) I know that suffering in pain killed my ability to focus and concentrate...

*Deep breath* First, I feel a little uncomfortable about sharing the 11 programs (yes 11) I used to treat my stubborn chronic pain. Here they are: 1. Alan Gordon’s Pain Recovery Program (21 days, text based with video content) 2. The TMS Wiki Structured Educational Program (42 days, text...

Thanks @Idearealist, @jimmylaw9. I've certainly found writing helpful, but at times it just feels like I am "going through the motions" so to speak. I like the adage of how I "felt about it vs. how I dealt with it". It even rhythms! Catchy.

Hello, Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm not one to bore you with the details, but have been on a long journey since suffering a minor back complaint a few years ago. Fast-forward a few years (and plenty of x-rays, MRI's, and cortisone injections) and have discovered Dr Sarno's work on...
