Dr Sarno 12 Daily Reminders
The pain is due to TMS, not to a structural abnormality
The direct reason for the pain is mild oxygen deprivation
TMS is a harmless condition caused by my repressed emotions
The principal emotion is my repressed ANGER
TMS exists only to distract my attentions from the emotions
Since my back (replace with whatever pain you’ve got) is basically normal there is nothing to fear
Therefore, physical activity is not dangerous
And I MUST resume all normal physical activity
I will not be concerned or intimidated by the pain
I will shift my attention from pain to the emotional issues
I intend to be in control-NOT my subconscious mind
I must think Psychological at all times, NOT physical.
- kranner 5y agoSarno started with first ruling out physical causes with checkups and investigations. Only after that did he attribute pains to TMS, only if conventional treatment had not cured the pain.
- 1121redblackgo 5y agoYeah a common phrase is to "rule out the life threatening, then rule in mind-body disorder."
- mebiles 5y agook thank you this. To all the people that has doubted their own pseudo science skepticism every time this book comes up here at HN- you may be relieved as it doesnt work if you have a structural cause for the pain.
