| Very good comment Shawn, I just heard this on the new earth for the first time and I was pleased that he reached the same conclusion as myself independently. |

Ace -
Looking for some direction here....I've had back/leg pain for about 1 year. I went through 9 months of doctors, pt, cortisone etc until I read Dr Sarno's Healing Back Pain book about a month ago. I also did one on one lectures w/ dr rashbaum, a certified partner of Dr Sarno. I accept that there's nothing physically wrong with me. I also understand that the more tense and nervous I get about the pain, the stronger it is. However, as I'm trying to "think psychological", the pain persists and doesn't go away. In the moment, I try and tell myself that the pain is in my mind, due to repressed thoughts and there's nothing wrong with me, but the pain wont leave.
My therapist says that my body is sending me pain because there's some part of me that wants the attention. I'm trying to notice those moments and become more aware of it, but i'm not sure what to think of while the pain comes. FYI...The pain comes everything I stand up or walk.
Just not sure what to do once the pain comes, what should I be thinking? |

| Affirmations and cut the rushing to do everything. Telling me you get it when you stand up and walk tells me your always in a rush to do something. Mo please follow my keys to healing in particular look at key #10 and #17. Because you live in this society, so I'm sure #14 and 15 apply to you. I really do not have more to add than whats on those keys, but if there is any thing you don't understand please ask. |

That's just the kind of comments from therapists which demonstrates to me that many of them don't have a clue what they are talking about and that they are just giving their cockeyed opinions which is of zero value to anyone.

Look at the Rahe-Holmes list of life stressing situations that create TMS "dis-ease" and pick out the ones that apply to you. Also Dr. Sarno's daily reminders.
G'luck,
tt
P.S. I interpret what your therapist was saying to you about your pain was similar to TMS, that the pain is psychosomatic.

Hi
I read these posts every day and appreciate them so much. I am trying everything but my pain and weakness remain.
How do I fight the fear that it will never go?
How do u stop the worry and preoccupation with being in pain and being debilitated?
I can only type with one finger so my posts r short.

Barbara,
A lot of people here, myself included, find the words of Claire Weekes to be very, very soothing in terms of fear. I'll also bump the relevant Ace of the Day for you as it contains the affirmations Ace1 recommends. |

Ace -
Thanks for your response. I am the type of person that's always in a rush.
I understand #10. I need to change my bad/negative thoughts to positive by using the affirmations provided. Doing it before bedtime is sort of like meditation which makes sense.
#17 is a bit more confusing to me though. I'm not sure what you mean by "observe the strain". I'm unclear as to what the "strain" actually is.

| It's not that obvious, it's just a revved up state of mind. Kind of like you might feel trying to catch a light that's about to turn red. It takes a lot of practice to see it and then prevent it from happening. |

wow, Ace, this (what you said on Dr James' thread 'How do you work with it') below, spoke to me differently than other ways you've worded things and so I wanted to post it here on your "keys" thread because I thought it was so important to understanding your thinking (hope that's OK):
quote:
You have to experience the thing that has or is affecting you and reassociate it with good feelings (as if it isnt as bad as you thought or how you made it out to be). This new association, now is taken as the new reality and the patient achieves a state of conflict resolution or relaxation. This is my experience with the people I have helped get better. When I was reading your description above, I felt it was very similar to what I believe. I agree, the person, should try to first see the distressing thing first in order help resolve it and this is not bringing negativity into the picture. The recognition in itself, the insight is sometimes enough to cause relaxation in itself in my experience. However, sometimes somethings in the past in my expereience are not a cause of current distress and thinking of these in my opinion can sometimes be counterproductive.
