Hi Guys!
I'm back after some time away from these forums. I got started on the program..but didn't journal passed a couple of days. Now I'm on week 2 (keeping up every day!), and enjoying the process. Since I first read Sarno's The Mind-Body Prescription, about a year ago, I've since had great success with my back pain. I also read Healing Back Pain by him, and watched a few videos from you helpful folks. I've been able to increase my driving a lot, and am unafraid to make distance travels, do manual labor, and anything else I feared associated with back pain. I found that a big trigger for me was driving, because when I was younger I dropped out of a school I went to for 3 weeks. I had to drive literally half way across the country to get home, which was a very emotional drive for me.
Since I've struggled with neck pain associated with my computer usage trigger, I've decided to come back and make a better attempt at healing. I feel that I'm on a similar path as Peg, where things aren't coming easily, or quickly I should say, but the more effort I put into finding the source of these triggers, the better I become. For this I am grateful and healing gradually every day.
Currently I'm on the Structured Educational Program, and reading The Great Pain Deception. I also have Robert Bly's book on the Shadow that I'll be digging into soon.
So with that all said, I'll end this post with a meme, just to share something comical
Wishing you all the best in your healing, and happy to be back!
