Daily Reminders (12) summary: 1. The pain is from TMS and not from any structural abnormalities 2. The direct reason for the pain is mild oxygen deprivation 3. TMS is a harmless condition caused by my repressed emotions 4. The principle of motion is my repressed anger 5. TMS only exists to distract my attention from the emotions 6. Since my back or other body part 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 or symptoms 10. I will shift my attention from the pain or symptoms to the emotions 11. I intend to be in control, not my subconcious mind 12. I must think psychological at all times, not physical

God Bless Dr Sarno. I will hug him in heaven. He saved me from a life in a wheelchair!! I"m 67 and play racquetball, stairmaster, lift weights every day! 2005, I was told I had 'degenerative disk disease', back pain and would never exercise again! ER Doc --Big Liar! Dr. Sarno, the Answer!!

I have been through a lot of this in my last 20 years with TMS. One thing I can add is that feeling your anger/emotions is not the same thing as thinking about them or analyzing them or mentally blaming others, etc. I went a long time trying to shift my attention to my repressed emotions, but all I was doing is more thinking. That made my nervous system more tense. Feeling your anger/grief/etc. is different than thinking about them. Even yelling out loud while mentally blaming your parents or others who have wronged you is likely not going to help, but just keep you in a tense angry hate-filled state. I even did psychodynamic therapy to try to uncover the repressed emotions, and it didn't work, because it was just making me angrier. I never actually felt my repressed emotions, I just thought about them more, and developed more mental anger. My mind was likely guessing at why I have rage deep inside, rather than actually feeling the rage. You don't need to know why you have rage inside. You just need to tend to the rage. Feel it. Be with it. But don't analyze it. It might not make any sense why you have rage. Don't worry about that. Just be with the rage like you are holding an angry baby that you are comforting. The real you is bigger than the rage or guilt or grief. It can handle it. Your mind cannot solve your mind. There is something greater in you than your mind. Be that.

Dr. Sarno changed my life from being practically disabled to being able to lift anything without fear. I still remember my appointment with him like it was yesterday. He was my last stop before surgery after trying everything else. RIP. Going to go do some heavy deadlifts now.😄

Best way to get to the root of any pain or discomfort in the body is, while you're experiencing pain, ask yourself "How does this make me feel?", put an emotional word on it. Once you come up with the emotion, anger, frustration, etc. realize that emotion was there long before the pain showed up. That emotion had to get loud enough to get your attention. Pain is just an "Indicator" of how you've been feeling.

I was thinking about quitting my golf league because of the pain. Then i saw this video. I put the 12 daily reminders on my phone. I forced myself to play golf, all the while reading the 12 over and over in between holes. It did hurt while playing but I didn't let it intimidate me. I kept thinking maybe id stop if the pain got worse, but i kept parring holes. I ended up having my best round in years, 76. All because I saw this video, thanks so much!!

Thank you. John Sarno never had the credit he deserved. He had the guts to stand by his theory. As a health care professional I can clearly state without fear of contradiction that modern medicine is a million miles away from reality. We can do so much with our minds. I just wish as Dr Gabor said that modern medicine should not be saying "what wrong is with you". They should say "what happened to you". I wish you all well peeps on your journey. Namaste.

I knew Dr. Sarno and will always be grateful to him for giving me my life back after excruciating back pain. He was a brilliant, intuitive, kind and patient man who was ever so far ahead of his time. When I say my gratitude thanks each day when i wake up, he is always first on my list..........

I wasn’t able to express anger until I was over 40 years old. 40 years of harboured anger..

Dan, you helped me feel better tonight, as I realized I was freaking out about my pain and not focused on my emotions. I like asking myself, "How are you feeling right now?" That really helps to identify what is going on. Sometimes I think I know how I feel, but my pain doesn't let up. But when I answered, "Anger," and allowed myself to feel that anger physically, my pain started to subside. Also, trying to stay patient with the process and not get down on myself if the pain isn't MAGICALLY IMMEDIATELY eliminated. Thank you!

Dr. Sarno's "Healing Back Pain" helped cure my lower back, glutes and hamstring pain many years ago. I was an active person going through some challenging personal problems at that time. A rheumatologist recommended the book to me. I gave my original copy to my daughter's friend's dad and he was able to cancel his scheduled back surgery after reading it. TMS is real!

I believe this. I'm a very angry person but I hide it. I'm angry with my parents and family. Such a horrible childhood. I'm also angry with how humans treat this planet and all the other animals who live here. I eat a healthy diet and get plenty of sleep but STILL have back pain. I notice when I stop focusing on it and get out and do things that make me happy the pain subsides.

I wish more people knew Dr. Sarno before he passed. I do data entry and I type non stop for 9 hours a day and I had bad carpel tunnel. But I read his books and followed his steps and literally all the pain went away. The Dr’s don’t want you to know about this because they want you to keep paying for expensive rehab and medicine. This stuff is real, TMS.

Dr. Sarno was SO ahead of his time! I had chronic back pain and after reading Healing Back pain....it went away. I have done this with other pains...and it WORKS. Thanks for carrying his work forward and making it even more public!

You're carrying out Sarno's best hopes for all of us. Thank you, Dan.

Thank you, Dan. I have listened to this two consecutive nights before sleeping. This has helped remind me about putting my mind in check and seeing what I am angry about. I recently had a terrible flare-up after being pain-free for eight months or so. I have had two epidurals two weeks apart. I have been feeling like I am having a stroke of some sort. I have chest pain that radiator down my arm and back. The tremendous amount of stress I have been feeling with work, finances, and my personal life threw me into this catastrophic episode of TMS. It feels like my body has turned on me entirely. I need to acknowledge that I am angry and scared and need to let it out. I need to remind myself that my body is not "diseased." I am going to listen to this till it becomes embedded into my subconscious. Thank you and Dr. Sarnos for this.

Thank you so much for summarizing the so important 12 daily reminders of Dr John Sarno ​.This accurate in concise talk is by all means getting to the very heart of ​S​arno's wisdom As a matter of fact this ​t​alk is so effective and you also can see that it really comes from a True Believer So it resulted in me Listening To ​it So many times again and again until things get really assimilated into me years ago I suffered from a terrible neck and shoulder pain and by listening to your lecture I really succeeded getting over this pain completely only by mental power and deep understanding Thank you Dan for doing this incredible work Wish you all Health and Pain free life

More truth is revealed to those who seek it. I stumbled upon a Sarno book in 1994 at the library. Changed my life. I have personally helped dozens of people get better after recommending his work.

Reading 'The Divided Mind' was wild for me. As Sarno listed different phantom symptoms, I kept thinking, "yeah I have that, that, that, that, and that." Ha! For me it feels like suppressed anxiety more than suppressed anger. As I deny the physical symptoms, the anxiety comes back, and I am forced to search and figure out why I am anxious. Usually it's as simple as keeping myself busy, and introducing myself into social scenarios in order to genuinely feel better. The book, "the meaning of anxiety" by Rollo May is a great read if anyone has psychosomatic issues related to anxiety.

Thank you for this 👍 3yr suffering here ive lost my hobbies, friends, and my work . Im experience fear every morning its my first thought then stress as i get no financial support and the worries of how i will survive. Reading sarnos book giving me hope . Thanks for continuing his work .

My piriformis syndrome pain has not gone away for a year. An MRI says my muscle is normal. I am an anxious person but no one wanted talk about how my personality might be bringing on the pain. I am going to do the 12 daily reminders . Thank you so much for this video. You did great.

"living in the memory of the pain" So true.

You're the best! Here I am, having an epiphany one month short of my 61st birthday. Been watching you, and today it's really clicked. All of those years of misery..

I'm puzzled - I don't repress my anger, was taught to process and express it young. A good therapist told me anger repressed becomes depression, and to write them out and express them calmly. Bless him! So I rarely repressed anger. I have repressed grief, however, in the past, and realized that I repressed fear unconsciously - so it's more than just repressed anger. But a ton of inescapable stress led to chronic fatigue syndrome and later fibromyalgia. I rid myself of most of both for 6 years - but another ton of stress led to a relapse. This is all very helpful - it takes away the worst fear of pain. So I still dance and take long walks, - just not as hard or long as I've done in the past.

Great video. I’ve been reading those reminders daily and I’ve found they help me stay focused on the psychology of TMS. I actually consulted with Dr. Sarno in NYC about 18 years ago. To make a long story short, it wasn’t until recently that I finally and completely have accepted his TMS diagnosis on me. The pain has kept me distracted all these years. But I started the recovery process again and I’ve found your videos extremely helpful. I really like how you say in one of your other videos “as long as we keep our minds focused on the pain and not on our emotional issues, the brain (syndrome) wins. It has us fooled. “ Thank you for posting your videos and helping so many people like myself. God speed.

It’s true, physio and chiropractor over the years, even massage, didn’t cure it. Confirming to my brain that I CAN go to a 2 hour yoga class every week, and do all the poses, helped me recover from severe RSI in my hands, and reminding myself that it’s distraction pain.

25 years of docs, pills, er's and hospitals.. GONE! Yes I read all his books! ps, my ex rays were not pretty... "normal abnormality" I was the biggest skeptic too!

I really needed to hear this. Read Sarno’s book a couple years back and dealing with a nasty wave of emotional pain manifesting itself in physical issues which is creating more anxiety. This helped me slow down the “hamster wheel “ I’m on so hopefully I can get off it soon.

My own experience is that any symptom can be the distraction, whether it’s pain or disrupted function ( and I WON’T fill in the blanks there 🙃. ) Thanks for making this information available on a wider scale!

So good. I may need to rewatch this one frequently to keep in the right mindset!

I'm been running for my emotions for so long I don't even know how I feel. I do know I'm a perfectionist in that really stresses me out.

Thanks for the video. Its a great way to remind myself of Dr Sarno. 8 years ago I accidentally came across his book on Amazon and decided to give it a try. I was suffering from back pain for 5 years before that. I had tried everything up to that point. The first Dr I saw did an MRI and found some bulging disc. He put enough fear in me that it took several reading for Dr Sarno before I could get rid of my conditioning. Today I play tennis regularly. I do get pain occasionally but need to remind myself of Sarno or reread his book. But watching your video was a quick way to remind me of the basic principles and feel better immediately. Thanks again for the video. We need folks like you spread the word of Dr Sarno. Thanks again!

After hearing and acting on telling my pain to go away, and reassuring the bodymind that I am ready to experience my emotions fully, chronic and severe lower back hip pain that has been present for 6 months ( prior to that it was 6 months of shoulder pain). So nearly 2 years of changing diagnoses in all forms of degenerative auto-immune diseases and prescriptions of steroids and immunosuppressant drugs. And then a diagnosis of Ross River Virus early this year ( which my Rheumatologist totally ignores in favour of giving me something far more serious) . But 24 hours of telling my body that we are going to be all ok has had miraculous effect. I know it’s early days but I’m so ready to face my perfectionism and repressed anger as the cause of my dis-ease. I have recently discovered Heart Math and I believe it will serve as the perfect compliment to TMS work. Big thank you for your work and that of all who just want us to be whole and well.

I have pppd (persistent persuasive postural dizziness). I've had this for over 20 yrs off and on but chronic 24/7 the last 4 yrs. I found your videos and find them to be very helpful for my condition. I've been checked in and out over and over again by a multitude of doctors. All test are completely normal. In a nutshell i have this condition due to ongoing stress. I was always searching for a cure, didn't accept my diagnosis, until one day it just clicked. I didn't want to live my life searching, instead I accepted what is and moved forward. I have a new outlook on life and my condition. I am healing and I will continue to heal everyday. I'm safe, and not in danger even during my hard moments. Breathing exercises really help calm my anxiety. Your videos have helped keep me on track and I thank you for that. I pray for every person going through a difficult time that they can and will be healed.powermof the mind is amazing. God bless.

Hi Dan you are a gem. I’m so blessed to find you . I will follow you religiously 🙏

Wonderful big WOW moment for me. I just realized I was a child not allowed to have or God forbid express negativity and that’s what over 65 years ago now. No wonder Dad spent so much time in bed on his back! And I did a littke Qiqong after two hip replacements to get back on the horse and have had acute low back pain, for about 8 months. And did everything physically possible to alleviate, just spinning and spinning, yet just listening to this good guy I just came upon iterating these 12 guidelines , I felt some release and a sense of wonder and an AHA moment that being sn outdoors woman all my life that There is Nothing wrong physically, let’s get down to the nitty gritty of the rage, since childhood but also being a child of the ‘60’s, that’s a damn big one right there…and I’m finally able to acknowledge my astoundingly well hidden anger, take it out and examine it until I can smile to it. well living alone now 25 years I think I am able to dialogue with myself, using Dr. Sarno’s tools. It’s true that what you’re looking for is also looking for you. Im so giddy and grateful to this man for making this succinct video. Love your work. You’re a mensch 💜

It amazes me how TMS can move around and manifest in so many ways. The newest manifestation is tooth pain! I imagined I was gonna need a root canal or even loose the tooth but The dentist said there's nothing there! Working hard to not get stuck in the fear, concealing and journaling to deal with the unconscious emotions. God bless great video ❤️✌🏻

Dr. Sarno was correct. Stress reduces blood flow to the brain, stress reduces oxygen in the body. We breathe less and hold our breath when in “fight or flight”. This is why taking deep breaths it calming. Of course he was correct about oxygen deprivation. Whether it is the cause or the effect of central nervous system stimulation, I guess that is the question? Great video.

Thank you, I've had migraines for over 10 years. I've tried every treatment possible. MRI, blood work, tests, nothing was found to be damaged. I am now about to embark on the mindbody approach, and am glad to have found your channel!

I Really want to take on board and believe in dr Sarno and tms. My brain won’t let me though, it’s very stubborn and ingrained with beliefs of pain.

Excellent! I got it. Making progress and living life again. Thank you 🙂

A very good friend of mine sent me some of your video postings a few weeks ago and have been watching them every day. I'm a 57 year old healthy man who eats healthy goes to the gym 4 days a week. For several years now I've been suffering from erectile dysfunction. Even the urologist at the hospital said there is no medical issues that its just " performance anxiety ". I get morning wood and normal erections during the night . However, it's taken over my life and is constantly in my thoughts and leaves me feeling very fearful. I have days where all seems to be better and other days where its like everything downstairs is paralysed. I'm now trying to put into practice all of teaching. Great videos. Thanks for being there for so many people .

My mind is blown, WOW!! I'm running out and buying Dr. SARNO'S book.

Just got Dr Sarnos book, and Dr Shubner's book. This vid is saving me today. Ty Dan. Truly needed this. 12 key points are going on the fridge. ❤

Thank you so much from South Germany 💛💛💛💞

Thank you Dan for your consistent perseverance in sharing your wisdom. Very helpful.

Thank you soooooo much I know the pain is mental not in my body because I know iam okay now I am a happy person and calm not always anxious and anxiety. ♥️👏😁🙋‍♀️

Love this Channel Dan!! I only discovered you yesterday thro' 2 friends who follow u & find u brilliant. You are amazing & Im so happy to have discovered u. Since yest I see a huge improvement in my body's aches...fabulous disovery. I thought I has sciatica & now I see that what ur saying is SO TRUE!! FEAR is the cause of so many problems. Thank you for all your amazing videos and your voice is so so soothing to listen to. Bless u Dan & deep gratitude. 😇🕯🔥👍👌

Hi. This is great. I’ve been working on suppressed emotions for nearly 5 years now with a therapist. It’s more than suppressed emotions because really if we could access all emotions in the moment we’d be enlightened. I’ve come to believe through experience the body and mind to some extent will suppress emotions regardless at how well we access our emotions. Yes suppressed emotions contribute to health and in my case I truly believe the past decade health issues are from my mind and body signaling danger. This is something I actually came into life experiencing and is a conditioned way of living unfortunately. Nonetheless I see and experience this more and am working out how to navigate decades of my psych being conditioned to perceiving and anticipating threat. I wish more people knew this. I do believe this is a key contributor if not the driver in persistent and chronic health issues. People need tools to recondition and orient to safety. Your sharing is amazing as parts of this do apply in the context of disengaging the threat response. Thank you

Can't thank you enough for this. 🙏🙏🙏. A lot of respect and blessings for you!!

Had back spasms this morning after ages without and decided to look at this video again. A refresher. Realized I’d had a job interview last week with Apple for a job I didn’t want and had a frustrating all-day session in the garage installing a door striker in my classic BMW Z3 - an emotionally charged object no doubt. Anima object = mother? In other words, all week I’d been getting mad 😡 as hell, in particular during the striker installation when the backing plate fell inside the wheel well! This video reminded me how much unconscious anger I’ve been generating trying to please my dead parents and my perfectionism. Listening to your little Sarno synopsis caused the back spasms to subside, Dan. Excellent summary of TMS fundamentals to always keep in mind.

Great video, and really relaxing to watch - especially with the birds in the background. Just getting refocused on trusting this diagnosis after having a flare-up again recently. So wonderful to know that even after years of pain you can fully recover and feel even better than before! Congratulations on your recovery and thank you so much for sharing these tips and giving this reminder.

I healed my back with his book , but now I have nerve pain breasts arms , chest it's awful, trying to treat it as tms again, back to basics ,great vid x

Thank you. I took notes while watching. I was just about to start pelvic floor pt today but felt like I didn’t want to focus on treating myself physically anymore! I also love the idea of checking in with my emotions throughout the day! They are running high with remote learning!!!

I've been following your work for about a month now. Read 2 Dr Sanro books, and this stuff actually works. Yes I still get pain but its dialed down a bit and I care a whole lot less about it. Thanks for your good advice.

thank you so much for your devotion to keep dr sarnos therapy and knowledge alive. i found this theory years ago. lost it and found it again . i wish more people could find it and understand it .... use it and be pain free

This theory explains why for so many people antidepressants help to quell the pain symptoms. If they are stress related....there ya go! In my opinion it's another indicator that its' TMS.

Thanks for your video. I’ve had lower back pain for 10 years and had 3 back surgeries. I’m hopeful I will live a pain free life one day. I started going back to speak with a therapist and incorporate Dr. Sarno’s best practices into my life. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you so much for this video! I found Dr. Sarno's book just last week and it gave me the answer that I have been looking for. I have had health problems since my teenage years and in the past few years, back pain and pain everywhere have increased to a level which it is hard to understand / to me isn't logic but had no answers. I am a 'warrior'... I carry on and push myself inspite of the pain but the fear and obsession with what is going wrong dominates my thoughts. When I read the book - I understand everything and I know that TMS is my problem. I am new to the process and today I needed a 'boost / reminder' , I came across your video. I am going to print out the 12 reminders. Blessings to you for making this video. It is very supporting to hear other real life stories.

Excellent summary of Dr. Sarno and TMS. His techniques cured my chronic Rhinitis. I stopped suggesting Dr. Sarno to my friends and acquaintances because they actually became angry when I mentioned that the cause of their pain might be psychological and emotional. To fully benefit from Dr. Sarno‘s techniques, you need an open mind about psychological pain and illnesses.

I'm feeling scared about my health issues just now and it's a horrible feeling. Was good listening to your advice about awareness

Thanks for making this video. I’m now using it every day for my 15 reflection period. Just starting my journey to being pain free.

Just found you during my walk and my pain left for this walk. Thank you

thank you so much, i listen whenever tms comes up

Thank you Dan ❤ listening to this one very often 🙏 ❤

Thank you Dan, an honest report as to the working of our bodies, and How we deal with it. The battle is in the mind! Listen to your message, assures me I am responsible for my body and how l react. Thank you Dan, you are a real inspiration, a joy to listen to 😊

Massages saunas stretching exercises do relieve the stress which relaxes the nervous system so that u can be in rest and digest giving the body a state if being to digest and breath properly rather than fight flight. Just like watching a comedy or funny videos may relax u also.

Dan, you're spot on my friend! Thanks so much 🙏

I have numerous clients (I do organic hair services and it draws a lot of people who have autoimmune issues and a strong pain body) who have many different treatments for years that do nothing. They (as well as myself) have chased “cures” for years. Nothing gets them better, from diet changes, food elimination diets, chiropractic, functional medicine, naturopathic doctors etc. I’ve felt for some time now that these were not answers for me. I’ve told my therapist as well as medical docs I believe my symptoms are due to early childhood trauma. They look at me like I’ve got 3 heads. But I know this is true and I’m schtickin’ to it. Taking care of the animal (body) is very important for sure but it’s not the total answer. I’ve been a health advocate for years now and I still got worse. I would argue that conditions especially like fibromyalgia are pain body, trauma induced. The only way thru is out folks.

Thank you for this reminder, come back to it often. Dr sarno is amazing.❤

Another great video. Thank you for taking the time to help so many of us TMS inflicted individuals.

This is bang on. I've noticed my awareness lately has been focused on how an activity is going to cause pain so I shy away from it. I pace take breaks etc but am moving forward cautiously and shifting my thoughts away from the fear of feeling worse to assuring myself I will be fine and take my time. It's so nice to hear you speak about these methods. Emotions are the key to gaining knowledge about our physical health or ill health.

Hi Dan! I just discovered your videos yesterday and WOW, what a gift! Thank you SO much for sharing all your knowledge and experience with TMS! I'm so glad you are free of your pains! I first learned of Dr. Sarno many years ago on the Howard Stern radio show when he mentioned how Dr. Sarno helped him with his back issues. I did attempt to apply his teachings but never achieved my goal however I still did believe in it. I've had back pain for at least 22 years now (along with digestive issues, bursitis, tendonitis, neck/shoulder pain, etc. lol) and have tried many different therapies throughout all those years to get rid of them. Currently, my acupuncturist mentioned Dr. Sarno as he also eradicated his back pain with the methods. That brings me to yesterday when I discovered your videos. I have 2 of Dr. Sarno's books and will be reading them again. I'm wondering if you or any others might be able to guide me on my circumstance. I care for my elderly mother who lives with me and have been doing so for a very long time. There is constant stress, to say the least. I have always been aware of and expressed my emotions - anger, resentment, rage, unfairness, you know, the usual, lol and the list goes on. So I don't necessarily fall into the category of repressed emotions as they are always front and center. So 2 questions - #1 - how does one apply the techniques when each and every day heavy stressors are around you and the emotions aren't repressed and #2 - when there are multiple physical ailments, what is the best approach? Thank you so much for the ways in which you are helping many people!!!

This was a good overview. I tuned in late to your videos and tried to understand by only hearing a few. I see the bigger picture now. This was really helpful. I know I am safe..that these are just pain sensations and nothing is really wrong. And emotionally..I am Forgiving the Past..Present and not worrying about the future. Forgiving myself too..not just others. I journal positive things and gratitude and I do meditation and have a little prayer ready for when my mind is unruly. I do my activities through any pain..knowing it is only sensations. My End Goal is Peace because I know that is the most Healthy state for MySelf to be in..both spiritually and physically. Thank You..Dan. This really helped me see a more complete picture. I think I got it pretty good Now. Thank You!

Thanks Dan. I'm just getting started with all this. I like your outdoor setting. Patrick

Thank you Thank you.... everything you spoke I’ve gone through and even having lumbar fusion,but still struggling with pain. I’m so grateful for Gabby Bernstein for introducing me to Dr. Sarnos philosophy, And grateful to you for reiterating the 12 steps,and adding your experiences, in which resonates with my own experiences..

We live at altitude and I feel better when I use the hiking oxygen cans

You are sooo talking to me... this is so healing.. thank you

Desperate for the gym... but even stairs hurt sciatica grrr really have to take what your saying to my core.

I find it very interesting that blood o2 levels are mentioned. My daughter went through some medical issues that required us to check her o2 levels often. I suffer from weird dizziness and other symptoms so I began to check my o2 levels whenever I had s bought of symtpoms. More often than not my o2 levels were sporadically low at the onset and magically raised themselves back to normal levels after a few seconds.

This was very helpful! Clear and pleasant to watch. Thanks 🙏🏻

New to your channel, but this is a great video. Thinking about golf, it’s clear that golf professionals seem to suffer back problems much more than other professional sports. While people may attribute this to the bent over posture in golf which is a natural, maybe it is more due to the solitary and extremely stressful and anger inducing elements of golf. People have to hold in their emotions while they’re playing or they will play even worse. And typically the emotion they’re holding in is anger/frustration.

Thank you for your reply's Dan you've been helpful .Im waiting to get an appointment with on of the Drs that worked closely with Dr Sarno! He's at the Rusk institute and was with Dr Sarno for 20 yrs

I’m new to this concept. A friend turned me on to Dr Sarno earlier this week based on a conversation we had. I had a bout of debilitating anxiety from Nov to Jan. Later in Jan an issue around my testicular area started which culminated in undiagnosed leg, foot and groin pain. I’ve seen them all; family doctor, rheumatologist, urologist, physio, chiro, osteopath, no one knows what’s wrong. I’m really looking forward to exploring more of your videos. PS I love golf too! 🏌🏿‍♂️

SOOOOOO HELPFUL. YOURE A GREAT TEACHER AND INSPIRATION!

You are a real gem 🥹✨😍

I toughed it out last summer and now I have a set back. I was in so good shape, never pain free, but a lot better than ever in my adult life. But i know how strong my body is. But I move slowly forward. Not to fast.

Thank you so much for this video. It's helped me several times now and I refer to it as needed. I appreciate your help!

I do believe my pain does have have a connection to stress and emotions. I think it’s the only cause. I have spent a decade trying to work through it without success. So I believe what your saying, but I haven’t experienced any success. It makes it feel hopeless and I don’t know how to get out of it.

Thank you so much, this is so helpful. I really needed to hear this (: Your video really gave me focus and the reminders are absolutely important. Dr. Sarno was right.

This was the first TMS video of yours that I watched 8mos ago. It came up and I've rewatched. So enlightening. I needed to refresh myself. Thank you again

Loved this. My pain returned after a couple of years (thanks 2020!) and I needed this reminder. Good video, soothing voice, laid out in an interesting and thoughtful way. Thanks!!

Wow! Thank you so much for creating this video. This is my first exposure to Dr. Sarno's work. I am 29 and hurt my back on the left side as I fell down the stairs 4 months ago. There was no physical evidence of any rupture or damage in the imaging. Yet, my back hurts and the swelling (symptom) is still there. I have been into mind body healing for quite a while now. And I am very sure that it was my emotions that's causing the issue (I also have cyst on my left ovary for about 3 years now.) The injury happened exactly on the pelvic muscle on my back right behind my ovary. And it immediately struck me that my body might be trying to get my attention to heal the cause there by this sudden injury and the pain ever since. I will try to implement this 12 principles from today itself. Thank you again for explaining everything wonderfully. If anyone else in the comment section knows any good resource for healing ovarian cyst or thyroid issues, please refer that. Thanks :)

Awesome man. Congratulations on your recovery and good reminders.

Amazing how much anger I was generating my whole over-achieving life - AA, BA, MA, PhD, tons of honors - in a futile effort to please my emotionally conflicted parents. That kind of life strategy is bound to generate a huge volume of anger as the psyche finally confronts the fact that's it's a no win frustrating futile gesture. No wonder I got TMS shortly after my mother passed away in 2001. So obvious. Madder than hell for what I'd basically done to myself.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!!

I am learning to help my son with TMS. His pattern is to start expressing his anger, which I allow and listen to, but then he gets frustrated and just takes an Ativan to calm down.

Thank you so very much for your video. It helps simplify and helps to understand the 12 reminders that I am doing on a daily basis as I journey through the back pain and what I need to do for my emotional anger. I find it very constructive to take my reminders with me when I do my walking in the morning with my fur baby. No one is around, no one thinks I’m crazy, and it sets up my day to be a positive one.

Amazing video ❤ came here from your video with The Steady Coach! Love these reminders, really resonating with me! 😊 thank you

Thank you very much! Very helpfull. Greetings from the Netherlands.
