Day One and Hoping!

[DebraW]

Hi Hope Im in the right place. Its kinda confusing. I just found this wonderful website and hoping it can help with pain Ive had for over a year. Ive read the Dr Sarno's Mind Body Prescription a few times, and it all seemed to make sense but it didn't make a difference in my pain. Maybe all the exercises, success stories and reading whats here will finally be my answer. Cheers to everyone and wishes for pain free living.

Hi DebraW,
Welcome. It looks like you are in the right place. I guess you are starting the SEP program. And then you can post reflections here as you go along that we can all see and respond to.

You can also post anywhere else, including here, for support.

For many (most?) simply reading Dr. Sarno's books is not enough, and more work like journaling and daily inquiry into psychological causes and feelings is undertaken to cure the symptoms. The SEP was designed to take you through this, as well as help you make changes to our life around the way we treat ourselves moment-to-moment (eg with more attunement and compassion).

Also, some where along the way, check out Alan's Recovery Program here at the Wiki. Incredible recordings with clients exploring the way we pressure ourselves, childhood patterns, and how to work with them.

There is a lot of love and knowledge here. Good luck and keep us posted!
