Summary

Today we explore TMS and the mind/body connection that may just be at the root of your chronic pain or frustrating conditions. Studies and medical discoveries show that certain personality types are prone to suppressed emotions causing conditions such as: TMJ, Sciatica, Plantar fasciitis, Frozen shoulder, Rotator cuff injuries, Hip pain, Knee pain, Shin splints, Tennis elbow, Golfer's elbow, Tinnitus, Chronic pain, Fibromyalgia, Irritable bowel syndrome, Chronic fatigue syndrome, Migraines and tension headaches, Back pain, Neck pain, Shoulder pain, Carpal tunnel syndrome, Tennis elbow, Neuropathy, Vertigo and more.

In today’s episode we discuss revolutionary concepts from books like The Body Keeps and Score and a series of books inspired by the research and healing treatment of Dr. John Sarno.

Referenced in this episode:

  • "The Mindbody Prescription”: Healing the Body, Healing the Pain" by John E. Sarno
  • "The Body Keeps the Score Workbook”: Mind, Body, and Spirit Exercises for Trauma Survivors" by Bessel van der Kolk
  • The Top 10 Health Discoveries of Dr. John Sarno” by Steve Ozanich
  • “All the Rage: Saved by Sarno" directed by Michael Galinsky and Suki Hawley (documentary)

Bret’s Mantras:

  1. My body is strong and capable of healing itself.
  2. I trust in my body's ability and I am no longer afraid of physical activities that I once enjoyed.
  3. I am committed to exploring my suppressed emotions, repressed anger and releasing any tension that is causing my condition.
  4. I do not need to fear painful thoughts or emotions
  5. There is nothing structurally wrong with me .
  6. I am grateful for my body and the ability to feel sensations, even if they are uncomfortable at times.
  7. It’s normal and harmless to sometimes experience physical discomfort or pain but I will remember that sensation is a reminder to notice my emotions.
  8. I release any fear or anxiety around my condition and replace it with trust and confidence in my body’s healing abilities.
  9. I will no longer give my condition my energy or my focus.
  10. My condition is not dangerous, so I will resume physical activities that I have been fearfully avoiding.
  11. My physical body is miraculous and capable of overcoming anything.
