Hey y'all. I just finished reading Mind over back pain by Dr. Sarno. (My sister got it from a friend and she didn't think it pertained to her and thought it might help me) Talk about making sense of what is going on with me! I live in N. California and thought I might find a doc who follows the TMS practice in my area. Geez...There only seem to be a handful in the whole country! In lieu of seeing someone in person I am considering getting the video on Mind body Healing (I think that's what it's called) Also...there seems to be a strange increase in my spasms now that I have this new knowledge. It's almost a joy and a curse that I know that it is tied in with my personality and/or events in my life that are "unresolved". Life just always seems to need a challenge to overcome I guess....

I think for Northern California the closest are the two in the Bay Area: Bruce Eisendorf in Santa Cruz and Parvez Fatteh in Hayward/San Ramon.

I'm in Norhtern Ca. too but fairly rural, the chances of finding any Doc close are slim for me as well. I did watch the video's just the other day in fact. I had already read two of Sarno's books and also one of Scott Brady's books "Pain Free for life" which I really enjoyed. So for me the video's were just an accessory to see Sarno live LOL since it was mostly reveiw of what I have already learned through the books. If you've just read the one book the video might be something you would really enjoy. E-bay often has the video's at a reduced price.
I had an increase in symptoms after reading the first book so don't be alarmed at that. I've generally been having a much better time with the original pain issue though since then. |

Good that Dr. Sarno's work has you thinking about the true cause of your pain. Note that Mind Over Back Pain, the good doctor's first book, has been updated 3 times, so it would be wise to read the later books to see how the theory has changed and matured over time.
You can find a list here....http://www.tmshelp.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2480
Remember, the pain is real but the cause is your repressed rage.
Take care, -Stryder |
