About this listen
Dr. John Sarno (1923-2017) did the eminent work of introducing tension myositis syndrome (TMS) to the field of medicine. Prior to Sarno’s research, theory, and practice, psychosomatic symptoms were considered hysterical (exaggerated emotional behavior).
Turns out, the brain is not only able of creating pain when there is nothing structurally wrong, but it is proficient at doing so. TMS is a leading cause of chronic pain. This episode explores TMS, a.k.a. psychophysiological pain disorder, and gives those struggling with pain caused by suppressed emotions a better way.
