I’ve been in therapy (this time) for 3 years. I began this therapy because I was reading Sarno and doing all his advice, with nothing happening. So I decided I was one of the unlucky few he mentions who will need therapy. The therapy I am getting is called Internal Family Systems (IFS). The...

Just finished reading Willard Gaylin MD's magnificent The Rage Within: Anger in Modern Life (1984), one of the self-acknowledged source books for Dr Sarno's TMS theory. Needless to say Gaylin provided Dr Sarno with the idea of rage repressed into the unconscious that becomes an unconscious...

I just stumbled across this new in depth discussion by the David Schechter about his new book of reminiscences about his long-term relationship with John E. Sarno MD whose student he was. Their areas of agreement and disagreement. Lots of intimate details about Schechter's relationship with the...

I joined this wiki 3 months ago, and I’ve had TMS for years. Some of my TMS episodes I have fought off. Right now I am in a stubborn episode with multiple symptoms. Here are a few of the things I’ve learned to be true so far, based on what I’ve learned from this wiki and it’s free classes: The...

I started thinking the other day of all the times my mind overcame my body. With some TMS symptoms—and even in normal health scenarios—I was successfully able to forbid them to ever happen. Here are some examples. 1. In high school, while on a swim team, I never wanted to miss practice...

Somewhere in a post in the past few days I read that a well known member recommending against reading Healing Back Pain as well as Mind over Back Pain, both by John Sarno. I read that this website is only in honour of John Sarno, and not necessarily a full blown enthusiastic support of all of...

For the better part of 20 years before learning of, and healing from, John Sarno's amazing discoveries, I researched and practiced a diversity of diets and healing modalities that shaped much of my life. My recovery using Sarno's methods was very rapid and thorough, with few hitches along the...

I have an 82 year old friend that has been recommended major surgery, by a back-surgeon. I gave this friend Dr. Sarno's Healing Back Pain a few years ago, but I don't think he read it. As a Sarno/now A Gordon veteran everything this friend tells me about his condition says to me that it's a...

Hi! I'm a new member 0n this forum, but an old soul in the TMS world. Posted my success story 12 years ago on another forum, which looks to not be active anymore. I had trouble with RSI for a long time and is free of pain ever since. I still journal though. It's a habit I got from TMS that I...

Every time I read Dr Sarno's "The MindBody Prescription" I pick up many snippets and insights of important information, which I later forget because I'm in the middle of doing battle with a TMS condition or conditions, and right now I'm going through the same thing with a new condition. As a...

Hi I’ve had daily back pain for over 4 years. Got another MRI planned in January but the scan two years ago was clear, nothing to report. I am journaling and meditating. My back pain is worse in bed and morning. It’s actually worst in my sides just beneath the rib cage, I wake up every day...
