About this audiobook

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"My life was filled with excruciating back and shoulder pain until I applied Dr. Sarno's principles, and in a matter of weeks my back pain disappeared. I never suffered a single symptom again...I owe Dr. Sarno my life." - Howard Stern

Musculoskeletal pain disorders have reached epidemic proportions in the United States, with most doctors failing to recognize their underlying cause. In this acclaimed volume, Dr. Sarno reveals how many painful conditions-including most neck and back pain, migraine, repetitive stress injuries, whiplash, and tendonitises-are rooted in repressed emotions, and shows how they can be successfully treated without drugs, physical measures, or surgery.

The Mindbody Prescription is your invaluable key to a healthy and pain-free life.

    Written for the masses, this book sometimes comes across as a long pat-on-the-author's-back. The author is trying to convince you of why his method to relieve pain works and why he knows without being too academic, but because of all this the book ends up being very self-congratulatory. Aside from that minor distraction, his argument is strong and the book really makes you wonder why more in the medical profession don't study the mindbody connection. I've only just finished it, so I can't say yet how well his methods work on my migraines, but I'm optiistic.

    Dr. John Sarno has written another book on the mindbody connection or what he calls TMS (tension myositis syndrome), a psychosomatic disorder that can involve pain in many areas of the body, headache, high blood pressure, asthma, and many other disorders. He is very clear in the text that first, you must have a medical examination to rule out serious disease and follow the advice of your physician. But, when there is no apparent cause for the illness and pain (and signs of aging in neck and spine are probably not responsible for chronic pain), your mind may be using the pain or disease to avoid facing crises and rage in life. He has had great success with patients who are receptive to the ideas he presents, even after numerous treatments and surgeries that failed to help. The book lists the therapeutic program that is recommended to patients with the understanding that, in some patients, this is all they need; some need a lecture experience and some need psychotherapy with a trained therapist to recover. And it is not unusual for the cure to work and then the pain or disease recur in another part of the body, the minds way of repressing thoughts to difficult to bear.The book is written for the layman in simple to understand language. Dr. Sarno has included an appendix for academic concerns with extensive notes and there is a complete bibliography and index.Although I have not seen improvement in my case as it is probably medical rather than TMS, I am still open to any help in this area and am reading more of Dr. Sarno’s works as well as others in the field. Since the mind and body are interconnected, I am surprised that more doctors aren’t open to this theory.
