Hi All,
Just wondered if anyone has read Adam Heller's new book "Zero Pain Now" and has any feedback on this?
Also, he lists that he is trained in TimeLine Therapy and I wondered if anyone has tried this therapy and has any feedback?

I've read Dr. Sarno's books and also Mr. Heller's Zero Pain Now. In it he has taken the concepts and methods pioneered so boldly by Dr. Sarno, and supplemented them with techniques from Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP) and other technologies to synthesize a structured and effective 28-day process for healing TMS pain (though Mr. Heller has coined the term "Diversion Pain Syndrome" to better describe TMS). It educates the reader and lays out a simple and specific step by step 'how to' for ending pain.
If you're a Dr. Sarno purist, you may not like it. If you understand that information and techniques do and must continually evolve to remain at their most useful and relevant, then you'll probably like it a lot. And now especially that Dr. Sarno is retiring, his ground breaking work needs proponents like Mr. Heller, to carry it forward, bringing awareness and attention to it. |

I just finished up Zero Pain Now, and it wasn't bad. His success story is pretty good and he also put in a whole bunch of other stories. I think stories like that can really help people accept the diagnosis. I know it did for me. I also thought the book did a great job at explaining TMS and the need to accept the diagnosis. The book itself had a couple of exercises in it, but most of the treatment section is in the workbook, so I would suggest getting that alongside the book itself. The workbook reminded me a lot of Dr. Shechter's workbook which basically just had a whole bunch of journling prompts.
It is always great to see people who have experience with TMS write about, and I think that is what really makes this book. Heller really knows what its like to be in struggle with chronic pain. It was great to hear his approach.

Hi Everyone
Since I wrote the book I thought I'd offer a comment.
Thanks Cliff and Forest for your comments.
We all know Dr. Sarno is a pioneer. There would be no Zero Pain Now without him.
What the Zero Pain Now program offers is a technique to quickly force the emotion to "unrepress." 85% of Zero Pain Now clients are pain free in less than 2 hours.
That is what I consider to be the breakthrough with my system.
I agree with Forest that the process is better using the workbook. Since understanding is the cure, more information is best. We also offer packages with DVDs, group calls and daily e-mail support.
At Zero Pain Now I want to make sure there is a level of support for anyones needs.
We're all in this together.
Our goal is to help 10 million people become pain free in the next 3 years.
Thanks again for your question and the comments.
Adam

10 million is a good number.
Love is the answer, whatever the question |

| Bringing this to the top for barbaras benefit as she asked about it 85 percent of people pain free within two hours seems an absolutely preposterous claim. |

Alix are you doubting this testimonial?
I was stuck in a chair and unable to move. My neck pain was a 10 on a scale of 1-10 and within moments Adam helped me to reduce the pain to a 6. Within one hour the pain was gone!!!! I've never taken another pain medication. |

Welcome to the board Mr. Heller and congratulations on your book. If you could give some background on your TMS history it would be helpful. Be prepared for a barrage of suspicion, as you are beginning to encounter. It's a strange TMS psychological phenomenon, that when a new TMS author first comes to the board, they are greeted with a wary eye by some. I think it's fear by their TMS gremlins that their TMS may be "cured" by this new book they will lose their pain distractions.
Don't take it personally, as Steve Ozanich and Nicole Sachs received similar receptions by a small but vocal minority. Steve and Nichole have now become regular contributors to the TMS Forum, sold some books and generously helped folks from the board who contacted them. Be prepared for the usual internet bric-bats.
Good Luck with your book and I'll take a look at it. If you can describe how it adds to the TMS literature without giving away the plot it would be helpful. Also you may want to contact Dave the moderator here to consider adding it to the site's book list.
Cheers,
tt |

tt, it is not new. The book is 2 years old and this thread is more than a year old so the author never bothered participating to this forum except that one post to promote his book.
His website has all the info.
Let me just say that Dr.Alexander has been welcomed here just fine and his contribution is highly appreciated.
Marketing is fine. Fake marketing is not. |

Ha ha! Well, at least this book seller came in with a number he needs to hit. lol!
Hey, Tom set it up for me, I had to knock it out of the park.
Hi Adam,
Tom talks a lot. You'll find that out. We've had a few hard-sells here with the new wave of TMS writers. One of whom people suspected (rightly) of fabricating reviews, who was never able to actually answer TMS questions... rather, just talk about her personal life. Hopefully, you will offer more. We have a wealth of writers and professionals here who offer a lot of great resources, despite Tom's need to focus on one or two sales attempts.
85% of people cured in 2 hours? Wow, bold claim.
There are hundreds of people suffering here. This is a great chance to heal 85% of them.
How do we get started? This should be one of the easiest case-studies ever conducted. |

Here's a suggestion Bryan, buy his book try his program and let us know how you're doing, what have you got to lose? You could make that your contribution to the board rather then your constant attacks on TMS authors who have recovered wanting to share their journeys and help others and your malicious attacks on me for helping people get accurate TMS info and referrals. You have NO understanding of how little money is made from TMS by its practitioners and authors, they are laborers of love, maybe that's what you're missing. |

If it works, that's a pittance compared to what most have spent on the medical/industrial complex, snake oils, quacks and voodoo. |

This is true. I am surprised this thread did not provoke more interest or discussion when it was originally posted, and I am also somewhat surprised that this book/program seem to have gained so little attention, only a few reviews on Amazon, etc. Maybe the apparent overhype (instant cures!!) turned people off? I mean most people conversant with TMS are familar with Dr. Sopher, Dr. Schubiner, Dr. Schechter, Monte, and in time they will know Dr. Alexander, but Mr. Heller seems to have flown under the radar despite being out there for quite some time? |

I'm all good, Tom. Making steady progress by following the program I'm on. Thank you for your concern!
I've used CBT, along with a base knowledge of TMS and other mindbody issues, and have largely benefited from the free help of the brilliant posters on several boards like this one.
(Balto, Hillbilly, Ace, et al.)
But, I encourage all to do what works. For me, no need to keep buying books and switching paradigms. I know the answers. It's about doing it. Many who have healed and written success stories around here have advised the same. (So, I'm listening.)
As for buying his program, if it's a labor of love and he can heal people in two hours... my guess is he'll be offering it to us all for free.
I recall you compared Nicole to Jesus minutes upon her arrival... well 85% cure rate in 2 hours is a better rate that even Jesus probably ever had. So, I think we all look forward to seeing the 2-hour cures here.

Reminds me of the Gilligan's Island theme (dating myself)
Five sufferers saw Adam that day
for a two hour cure...
a two hour cure. |

Ha ha ha!
All kidding aside, maybe Mr. Heller will agree to run a case study here?
We could easily find 20 volunteers for the study. Those people receive the
$397 package free, which would be the least we could do for them being
subjects. From there, we would be able to follow along and see the cure rate
and hopefully all benefit? |

"I was stuck in a chair and unable to move. My neck pain was a 10 on a scale of 1-10 and within moments Adam helped me to reduce the pain to a 6. Within one hour the pain was gone!!!! I've never taken another pain medication." as posted by pspa123.
Actually, I was able to accomplish a major reduction in my pain, back when I still had pain symptoms or when new ones would suddenly appear. I used a technique called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). I simply went to their website (google it) and downloaded their FREE mini manual. I did not need to pay $397. It worked marvelously well for bad muscle cramps, headaches, etc. Their manual asks you to rate your pain level on a scale of 1 to 10 before doing the procedure on yourself. This is what reminded me of EFT. |
