This book is a treasure! Dr. John Sarno explains how many common and chronic pains, including such conditions as Fibromyalgia, are in fact caused by a condition called TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome), which is a way the brain creates pain in the body in order to help us avoid repressed emotions. Persons that are particularly vulnerable to this condition are those that tend to want to do good and those who tend to want to do things perfectly.
In this book he presents the syndrome and gives a detailed account of his program to overcome these conditions, without drugs, exercise or surgery. Then follows reports on several MD’s that have successfully used this diagnosis and treatment method for their patients.
Many people heal just by reading his books once they understand what is going on.
