Except Tennis Tom's posts were interesting and funny. I mean, really, TT had a greater sense of humor than anybody I've seen on this board.
Don't flame me --
I like a lot of things ShawnSmith says, but sometimes he's patronizing and annoying with his quiz question like posts.
The entertainment value of TT is not even closely matched by Shawn.

I agree, the mind/body thing absolutely goes both ways. Ask any compulsive aerobic exerciser (like me) what happens to their state of mind when they're stopped from doing it for any period - particuarly when it's because of an "injury" - real or imagined. There's certainly a chicken and egg aspect to the whole thing.

I absolutely believe my pain, etc. is TMS and have had enormous success in dealing with many different symptoms. Yet, tomorrow, I'm going to call a guy who does some kind of weird Japanese body work. Why? Because right now I am in the throes of challenging my ego with a huge whole house cleanup. My husband is a packrat and has finally given the okay to throw out some of his precious garbage and rearrange the rest. This has meant weeks of chaos and hard, hard work while he sits in his nightgown (he has a "bad" cold -- hah, hah) watching me work. The house is a mess, I'm exhausted and my TMS is kicking up all over the place.
Naturally I am freaking furious. Part of me would kill the bastard if it could (lucky for him, the rest of me still wants him around).
So, why the weird Japanese guy? Because there is no Hanna practitioner here (yes, it worked wonderfully for me when I was so enraged a few years ago that I could only hobble sideways instead of a normal walk) and I don't like the sacro-cranial therapist (yes, a previous one practically saved my life). And reiki, etc., are just a little too flaky for me. I prefer something that at least brushes up against science.
Will it work? Yes, it will. I don't know how, but I can tell about these things. LOL on me.
I quit posting here because I couldn't stand Tennis Tom's politics (although I like him, personally) and also I got sick of people telling me to leave my husband of 42 years. The point of this message board is, I hope, to provide info and support so that people can make their own progress towards health. Life is complicated. If something works for Shary or anybody else then so be it.
My husband says I need a round of "therapeutic touching" every few years and it annoys him that I view him as "the problem", not the solution, in my life. Actually, I do know that the problem is me. If I didn't have him to enrage my narcissism then it would very likely be something or somebody else. |

FWIW I would like to support the OP's view.
I've had back / neck / etc pain for 20+ years and originally read Sarno 5 years ago. I've worked on Sarno stuff off and on with varying intensities and although it helped never quite made it over the hump.
I saw the reference to the Hanna material here 6 weeks ago and look it up on the internet and then got the book from the library. I am now much better than before although I'm still working on both the repudiation and emotional understanding elements to continue improving.
My personal theory is that Sarno is right about cause and about attacking the cause. But. When you've had the problems a long time you've learnt habits/movements/postures/tightness/etc that prolong the problems. The Hanna material is a way of educating your mind to recognize whats happening in your body. When you feel it better then you can recognize the problem better and apply the mental/emotional aspects better.
FWIW it has made a substantial difference for me too. May you all be well and happy.  |
