i guess you an say that and I agree:).

Thank you for your post Kevin....he sounds incredibly condescending to me and I would not work with him...just my opinion, but working with somebody who tends to be brusque is that last thing I need.

Just bought your book Nicole...every time I read anything from it (I am reading it slowly) I start to cry --this is an amazing thing because if I wasn't connecting with you or resonating it, I wouldn't be crying...I was actually crying one day and clutching the book to my heart. I have multiple...

Like so many of you and Lunar, I often feel so overwhelmed. I have read Sarno's book, other TMS doc's book and that whole idea of subconscious rage and other "volcanic" emotions spilling into our conscious minds (where our brain/subconscious mind tries to distract us with physical pain) is so...

Thank you Greg...continued success with your journey too! I am not surprised the doing this program the second time around would be even more helpful. Some of us may not be able to do a full recovery (or close to it) in just 21 days...it took a very long time to build up these painful neural...

Hi Greg: Yes, the idea of NOT ignoring it is so different than what others have said (however, it goes without saying that Sarno's original work was brilliant)...so I am trying to absorb this new information. I think you are not alone in having felt ignored for most of your life. I can...

Hi Greg: I can relate to everything you are saying! I had TMS pain in my first marriage (he was emotionally abusive) with pelvic pain and I actually went to see Dr. Sarno in NYC when I lived there. I started journaling, etc, but when I left him, the pain gradually went away --I removed my...

Greg...thank you for taking some much time to answer my post. I really appreciate it. I know that patience is really important and as you indicated I just have to let myself be and give myself time. And yes, the challenging part is not to look at pain as the enemy as it is trying to protect...

One of the things that I have enormous difficulty with is the idea of "ignoring" or being "indifferent" to the pain when it gets so bad that I am crying or sometimes even getting a panic attack because I have multiple pains coming at me all at once (including acid reflux, pelvic pain, back/tail...

I have been feeling the same way (even though my pain has not diminished yet)....this seems so different than "my pain is a distraction from some unbearable emotion," and for me this "fear" explanation behind the TMS pain makes things seem more simple and easier to deal with emotionally. It has...

Yes, I agree most definitely that anxiety & stress can affect our lives adversely....so, I understand better what you were trying to say. And yes, Alan's program can be of tremendous help if we just stay with it and not give up!

Yes, the pain is real, but if you have TMS, there is no structural basis for it --if you have tests and they show nada or just normal wear and tear than that is not likely the cause of your pain. I am struggling with multiple chronic pain conditions, all TMS, and Alan's interpretation to me is...

I have the same issue and have had daily acid reflux for over 5 years. I have been thinking about the very same thing. I suppose since acid reflux is definitely in the pain category, the same concept of the brain sending out the wrong danger signal (pain) would work the same way.
