Dr. Sarnos Pain Relief

Dr. Sarno's Pain Relief

He is the originator of the diagnosis of the controversial psychosomatic condition tension myositis syndrome (TMS), which is also called tension myoneural syndrome.

Dr. Sarno's most notable (and controversial) achievement is the development, diagnosis and treatment of TMS, which is not accepted by mainstream medicine. According to Sarno, TMS is a psychosomatic illness causing chronic back, neck, and limb pain which is not relieved by standard medical treatments. He includes other ailments, such as gastrointestinal problems, dermatological disorders and repetitive-strain injuries as TMS related. Sarno states that he has successfully treated over ten thousand patients at the Rusk Institute by educating them on his beliefs of a psychological and emotional basis to their pain and symptoms. Sarno's theory is, in part, that the pain or GI symptoms are an unconscious "distraction" to aid in the repression of deep unconscious emotional issues. Sarno believes that when patients think about what may be upsetting them in their unconscious they can defeat their minds strategy to repress these powerful emotions in this manner, the symptoms are seen for what they are and the symptoms then serve no purpose, and they go away.

Bottom line - his patients see results. Im willing to admit my PD is all in my head if this guy can get me results too. I will look into this further. Especially compelling since I read the files on pdrecovery.org, which say something similar

pd is all in your head.

[bassofspades in reply to Serenity_finaly-1]

I believe you! But how to get it out of my head?

[bassofspades in reply to bassofspades]

follow up - I read all of Dr Sarnos books and related books by 4 other authors, tried the techniques and any success I had was short lived and limited. Very interesting subject to research, though. I also tried hypnotherapy wit no success either. My conclusion - it may be all in your head, but its a physical problem within the nervous system, not a psychological problem.
