Nothing is more important than how I feel.
When you believe, really believe that the most important thing is how you feel (mentally/emotionally) and you begin to use how you feel as your indicator of where your thoughts/attitudes/beliefs are consistently focused...
Then you will have the desire, determination and persistence to switch out of the worry thoughts when you notice yourself there. When you are holding in anger/resentment you will allow yourself to open up more. When you are in your striving, people pleasing & controlling thougths you will begin to make the association that these chronic thougths equal chronic pain and you will have the motivation to redirect your thoughts.
Nothing is more important than how you feel, and how you feel is your indicator of where your thougths are focused. And it is your thoughts that are creating inner tension and repressing emotions.
Use your built-in personal navigation system to reverse this disorder.
Pain is a signal to think psychologically. How you feel is your indicator of where or how you are thinking.
Think Clean,

I am also trying to stop thinking so much about emotions and just feel them instead. I thought that by acting angry or writing about it that I was releasing it, but I always seemed to feel worse afterwards. So it makes sense to me that this is part of our brains coping strategy to distract us from simply experiencing the emotion.
Thinking and analyzing our emotions can be very different from actually feeling them. I'm working on that... |

MONTE -
So far this book is amazing~! For those who can't heal from Sarno, your book does fill in a huge gap~ I'm re:reading the suggested chapters.
So the downfall is, is my pain is getting worse and now I'm dealing with skin itching. That usually means your information here is hitting something my brain doesn't want me to.
So I'll keep reading and working on it. I hate that I have this "cherish the pain" sometimes. It's like I actually LOOK For the pain to be there. When I don't - my skin itches. Frustrating.
Again I recommend this book to those who fall in the what John Sarno says are the "Need of Psycho Therapy"... I also recommend reading this with another believer in TMS and knows your personality.
Thank you!

That is the one gap I feel in Sarno's books. I love Sarno for finding this out - however the Books and DVD never were able to teach me "how" to talk to my brain, or maybe even find what is hidden sub-consciously if we can even find that out.
I'm sure many people say "I don't feel angry" - and I do and don't at times. - but again it's a huge cycle of "That's Conscious Anger".
Well I'm going to get your book, it can only help to my next step in finding out the purpose of this pain.
Thank you,

My entire focus is on Emotional Awareness first and second what to do with that information.
You must become of aware of how you are repressing with your thoughts and then you must switch out of those patterns.
That's the work and it works!

Monte - this was nicely put. I too have read Sarno's books, seen his DVD 5 times now and still I have pain. I know that Sarno is correct. When I spoke with him on the phone a few times his hours don't work for me. I know for a fact my next step would be more Psycho-Therapy.
I went to you site and did the TMS Survey. But really your small blurb here helped me reset my thinking patter. Looking at me you would think healthy and great personality - but inside I hold so much in and I know what it is, and I studied cognitive behavior and psychology 101 and I just can't get my brain to shut up!
Does you book cover more thinking process? Emotional awareness? |
