have you heard of dr. sarno’s method for healing back pain? many people swear by it, and it has definitely helped me in the past. here are 12 reminders from dr. sarno that you’re meant to review and apply daily to relieve your pain: 1.

I must think psychological at all times, not physical: Continually remind yourself that the source of the pain is emotional, not physical, and address it accordingly … while i’m not sure this will work with all pain all the time, repressed emotions are definitely worth investigating and healing. in my experience, healing emotional pain and trauma is exceptionally beneficial for one’s wellbeing in every way if you’d like to learn more about the sarno method, his books are easy to find: https://g.co/kgs/CimTnUZ and if you need help processing emotions, here is my current method using chatgpt and self-guided emdr: https://warpcast.com/marlo/0xa14dc65b
