10 daily reminders for healing from Mind Body Syndrome: adapted from Dr. John Sarno’s book “Healing Back Pain”
- The pain is due to Mind-Body Syndrome, (TMS) not to a structural abnormality.
- The direct reason for the pain is mild oxygen deprivation and changes in my body due to stress.
- Mind Body Syndrome (TMS) is a harmless condition caused by repressed emotions.
- Pain exists to distract my attention from my emotions.
- Since the body is healthy and normal, there is nothing to fear.
- Physical activity is not dangerous. It is important to move normally and with out fear.
- Do not be concerned or intimidated by the pain.
- Shift attention from felt pain to emotional issues.
- Aim to be in control, not controlled by the subconscious mind.
- Think psychologically, not just physically.
Things you want to avoid- 5 Fs that make chronic pain worse:
1. Avoid Fear: Recognize and acknowledge any fear surrounding the pain, but don't let it control your actions. Use resources for fear more than pain.
2. Shift Focus: Shift your focus away from the pain and onto positive and enjoyable activities.
3. Avoid Fixing: Avoid trying to fix or solve the pain through excessive medical interventions or treatments. Don’t avoid movement.
4. Let go of Frustration: Practice patience and avoid frustration when progress seems slow.
5. Avoid Fighting the pain or becoming overly resistant to it.
Chronic pain is not just a physical phenomenon; it's deeply intertwined with our emotions, experiences, and coping mechanisms.
