Healing Back Pain

The Mind-Body Connection
Summary:

The book presents the theory that many types of chronic back pain are rooted in psychological factors rather than structural abnormalities. It introduces the concept of Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) and offers a program for overcoming pain through recognizing and addressing repressed emotions.

Key points:

1. TMS as Psychosomatic: Dr. Sarno's Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) links chronic pain to repressed rage, causing reduced oxygen and pain as a distraction from emotional issues.
