Joanne Smith describes discovering Dr. John Sarno's mind-body approach after months of hearing about his work. She had a moment of insight that her symptoms might be psychosomatic, but tangible relief took six to twelve months to arrive. She challenges listeners to question whether they truly believe they cannot improve.
you assuming that you can't get better? Are you assuming that it is, you know, no matter what you do, it doesn't work? Are you, you know, believing what you've been told, that you've got to live with this forever? Whatever it might be, just ask yourself. Because in so, so many cases, especially those that recover from chronic issues that are mind-body recovery, they've been there, they felt really stuck. Like, I knew about this stuff, I wish I knew, I don't remember the exact amount of time, but I knew about this stuff for, it was something between 6 and 12 months that I knew that there was another way, I knew that there was another way that I'd heard of, I knew about, I'd heard about the Dr. Sarno, I'd looked at the books, I'd downloaded one of the books, I'd listened to one of the books, I'd had a massive moment of, oh wow, this makes a lot of sense. And I had this big moment of, I think that my symptoms could be, be this. And I honestly thought I found the answer. Oh wow, I found the answer. I watched the YouTube lecture from Dr. Sarna, I literally was blown away with a massive feeling of excitement that came through me. And I knew about this stuff for a long time before I had any relief, I had any improvement.
