Baseball,
Once when I went to see Dr Sarno eons ago (15 or 20 years ago) He gave out a sheet with this list. I cut it out and pasted it to the back of my appointment book. I used to refer to it all of the time. Years have gone by and I forgot all about that list until you posted it.
This list contained the concrete thoughts that made my life what it is today!
It was great to see it again. Like an old friend!
Thanks
Sandy
There are three things necessary for recovery
1.repudiate the diagnosis
2.Return to normal activity
3.Think psychologically
There are the 12 reminders which sort of round out these three ideas:
1.The pain is due to TMS,not to a structural abnormality
2.The direct reason for the pain is mild oxygen deprivation
3.TMS is a harmless condition caused by my repressed emotions
4.The principal emotion is my repressed ANGER
5.TMS exists only to distract my attentions from the emotions
6.Since my back is basically normal there is nothing to fear
7.Therefore,physical activity is not dangerous
8.And I MUST resume all normal physical activity
9.I will not be concerned or intimidated by the pain
10.I will shift my attention from pain to the emotional issues
11.I intend to be in control-NOT my subconscious mind
12.I must think Psychological at all times,NOT physical.
