My appt. w/ Dr. Sarno is comming up next week. He told me on the phone to be prepared to see a TMS therapist if he says so. I recently started seeing someone by where I live that seems to "get" me and although didn't know of Sarno persay understands and agrees with the mindbody concept completely. I would like if anyone can add input on TMS therapist vs. a regular one. I really like her and hate to switch right now. I am also starting to see some progress since he spoke to me on the phone 3 weeks ago when I was in real bad shape.
Note: I saw Sarno about 10 years ago , went to group meetings and cured major back, neck & arm problems on my own through these sessions. This is a relaspe which now I am sure of. |

But personally I would jump at the chance to see a Sarno chosen , psychoanalyst, if I had the opportunity.
Can someone please name a psychotherapist that dr. sarno sends his patients to? |

well hey,
since about a month ago, I started seeing a councillor/psychologist .
specifically dealing with Sarno, he understands and knows about Sarno.
There is absolutely no other sarno / Freudian practitioners in my area so . I am exceptionally lucky to have stumbled upon him. Even if he is not psychoanalyst, Freudian trained practitioner.
I think in the last month, I have made giant leaps in progress . specifically, we are dealing with what I have always felt is my main issue... social anxiety. but he has helped me a lot to actually notice things in my life as opposed to think of them as insignificant... so I can actually see now that am making good progress . and that just builds on itself. And the increased focus about analysing my emotional state has led me to learn dramatically more about my psychological triggers, so now I can laugh of pain so much easier . after spending a few minutes and realising that it was that emotional event triggered the pain and promptly forget about it(pain)
But personally I would jump at the chance to see a Sarno chosen , psychoanalyst, if I had the opportunity. |

Dave,
I shouldn't have used the word "like". She see's that I have a "hysterical" side and is making me aware of this & helping me put things in proper prospective. Yes I think she does practice Freudian psychoanalysis as she mentioned him today. She is learning about Sarno from me and she seemed to indicate that this concept was an old concept, not new and mentioned Freud. I think she will be good for me. It is far from friendly chatting by the way. Thanks for your input.Hopefully Sarno will let me continue with her. |

If you are a patient of Dr. Sarno you really need to see one of his affiliated therapists. It makes a difference.
If your therapist practices Freudian psychoanalysis and believes that repressed emotions can cause symptoms, then she can definitely help. But if she practices CBT then the therapy is not consistent with TMS.
Also, you're not really supposed to like your therapist. If it's a weekly friendly chat that you look forward to, then it probably will not be successful. Psychoanalysis involves learning things about yourself that you'd rather not face. |
