Dr. Abraham Low addressed this issue: "Do things in part acts, and endorse yourself for each part act" "Endorse for the effort, not only for the performance"

Another concept which Dr. Low taught, and which meshes perfectly with what Dr. Sarno and Dan Buglio espouse, is that commanding one's muscles to move teaches the brain that the feared actions may be "distressing but not dangerous."
