Sarno’s Daily Reminders
Healing Back Pain, page 82, gives Dr. Sarno’s Daily Reminders suggesting to his patients to relax and quietly review these twelve key thoughts at least once a day for about fifteen minutes.
I have chosen to edit these daily reminders somewhat, personalizing them for my own personal daily review. Copy them and keep them posted on your bathroom mirror, as I do! God Bless!
• My back pain is due to Tension Myositis Syndrome, and not to any structural abnormality.
• The direct reason for my back pain is mild oxygen deprivation in the postural muscles.
• Tension Myositis Syndrome is a harmless condition, caused by my repressed emotions.
• The principal repressed emotion causing Tension Myositis Syndrome is my repressed anger.
• Tension Myositis Syndrome exists only to distract my attention away from those emotions.
• Since my back is basically normal, there is really nothing for me to fear.
• Therefore, any kind of physical activity for me is not really dangerous or harmful.
• And so, I should immediately resume all normal physical activity without concern.
• I will no longer be concerned or intimidated by my back pain.
• I will shift my attention away from my back pain and toward those emotional issues.
• I intend continually to be in control of my back pain --- not my unconscious mind.
• I must think psychological, and not physical, at all times.
What Dr. Sarno Tells His TMS Patients (Healing Back Pain, Front Page)
• Resume all physical activity. It won’t hurt you.
• Talk to your brain. Tell it that you will no longer take the pain anymore.
• Stop all physical treatments for your back pain. They may block your recovery.
• Don’t repress your anger or emotions. They can give you back pain.
• Don’t think of yourself as being injured. Psychological conditioning contributes to ongoing back pain.
• Don’t be intimidated by back pain. You have the power to overcome it.
