Following is my experience with Dr. Sarno's work via Dr. Gwozdz.

It’s back on you tube watch it while you can

I have been suffering from back pain since about 2002. In the beginning, it wasn't bad enough to make me stop doing anything. But since 2014, the pain, especially middle back, neck and ribs, was bad enough that I stopped many activities. I used to play in a men's baseball league (catcher)...

I saw both doctors back in 1993. I had drop foot, could barely walk and in horrible pain. Long story short, I read Dr. Sarno's first book, called him and got his associate Dr. Rashbaum. I was told to get an MRI and read the book. Once I did that, I saw Dr. R. He confirmed I had TMS but the mere...

I honestly thought I was doomed with my herniated discs and every passing month with pain, my body just got more fragile and more painful and sickly. then Came “healing back pain” and you guys, and goddman I feel like im in a simulation at how this actually worked. some days it feels so...

Short history: About 20 years ago I suffered from back spasms for a few years and then met a friend who had gone to Dr. Sarno. All he had to do was explain the idea to me and it clicked. No real spasms since then and when they happen, I go to the gym and work it off. I've even taught the...

I've experienced many ailments since I was young (about 10) that I now realize were TMS and which have nearly all been resolved at this point. (Headaches, shoulder pain, bicep tendinitis, rotator cuff issues, IT band syndrome, panic attacks, sexual dysfunction (the only one I still need to sort...

I've had back pain for around 15 years now. I've had some success with the mind body approach, but not as much as I would like to have. So it has me always looking for other reasons for my back/knee/leg pains (mostly weakness/stiffness). Recently I came across a video by Stuart McGill where he...

Hi All I currently have 2 bulging discs in my lower back - causing Sciatic symptoms in my lower back, right buttock and slightly down right thigh. Been told no op needed as my bulges aren't that bad. My main problem - is my right buttock - nearer the middle of my body - is very tense, and...

If you are a SHOWTIME "BILLIONS" watcher has anyone noticed Dr. Sarno being mentioned very quickly and briefly in 3 separate episodes in the first 2 seasons?

I don't blog on this site a lot anymore, but now that I am exploring the idea of TMS I finally wanted to write something. Just felt like sharing https://darkdirtyimmature.wordpress.com/2019/01/18/pain-emotions-john-sarno/ (Pain, Emotions, John Sarno)

I just listened to a podcast interview of Dr Arlene Feinblatt and Dr Eric Sherman and it was fantastic because it was like listening to an interview of Dr Sarno in the present moment, with all the updated information that he and his team learned over the years since he wrote his books. I had...

This article was posted by Vox in August, but I only just came across it. It quotes Alan Gordon, mentions Dr. Sarno, and interviews a number of researchers who are working on the FACT that our experience of pain is created in our brains, and that there is a growing body of evidence showing that...

A post by All The Rage (the movie about Dr. Sarno) showed up in my Facebook feed yesterday, with a link to this YouTube video. "Dr. Mike" is pretty entertaining (I watched some of his other videos) but the main thing is that he's talking to people his age (20-something) and in yesterday's...

Hey all, This question is for anyone and everyone who has healed their pain of tms through the mind body approach and also those still on the journey. I know after I read Sarnos books I had a lot of questions that I eventually sought answers to myself. I am wondering what others have in terms...

Just curious when and why Dr. Sarno incorporated the three lists and writing into his treatment plan. Just read Healing Back Pain and it wasn't mentioned, but it is in Mindbody Prescription and Divided Mind. I am pretty new at this but am convinced.

Is there anywhere on this wiki where people have posted examples of the lists and essays that Dr. Sarno recommends in the daily study program? I've got the study guide from the Healing Back Pain DVD, but The Divided Mind seems to add more detail to it. It seems like one part is to make the list...

I'm brand new. Really confused and wondering how to proceed. Dr. Sarno, with his original vision, seems to have a clear vision developed over decades for healing TMS and a step-by-step treatment plan (I'm currently reading "The Divided Mind"). It seems simple (not easy, of course). But then...

In which Dr. Sarno book did he write about the lady who remembered being sexually abused (I think) and her breakdown & recovery. Page number in the book would be very useful or a link to the text on this site or elsewhere. I'm not sure I still have that particular book and want to re-read it...
