HI there,
i want to do the Sarno principles as much as i can. Am doing much of it (moving and playing despite pain, thinking pos. thoughts, etc.) Happy about that.
I *could* initiate a lawsuit for how my problem developed. But part of me knows that will just keep me focused there so i am wondering.
Even though my injury resulting from someone else's negligence cost me a lot of $ --- is a lawsuit, even one i feel i could get very well compensated for, in general just a bad idea, as it keeps me focused on the pain?
I guess i am afraid that expenses might go on for a long time. It hasn't been cheap.
Most of all i would just like to have my life back. But i am poorer in the meantime for what it cost me already.
Does Dr Sarno talk about this?
thanks |

He discusses primary and secondary gains, doesn't sound like you're in this for the money, just compensation for real damages and pain and suffering.

From what I understand if you have a true structural problem or injury, Sarno's methods won't cure you. If you have chronic pain lingering from an acute injury that's suspected to have healed by now, his methods should.
Certainly working on the emotions tied around the event - feeling and accepting/not judging them as negative and ensuring you're not repressing rage, disappointment, etc will help the pain *experience* and reduce psychosomatic induced or maintained pain if no longer related to an acute injury.
I personally don't think initiating a lawsuit would hinder TMS progress if you disassociate the stress and strain of that process with your actual symptoms. Not doing a lawsuit might hinder TMS progress if you subconsciously feel you're not sticking up for yourself or haven't received justice and are being a "goodist" by not rocking the boat, or stifling your own voice. But I'm not a therapist, if you're working with one, they may have some input on that. |
