Joanne Smith explains why people reject Dr. Sarno's approach to chronic pain at first, calling it rubbish and dismissing it entirely. She took six months before she was ready to engage with the method, then experienced significant healing. The resistance is real, but curiosity and willingness eventually break through.
And they're like getting really annoyed at it and clicking off, and I'm not doing that, that's a load of rubbish, and then eventually it just keeps on popping back up and they go, okay, maybe I'll have a little look, and people that were annoyed at it and angry at it and saying, this is a load of rubbish, have had their eyes opened, and they've been— there's some beautiful cases where people have finally given up to prove that it was a load of rubbish and to prove that it won't work. And it's worked for them and they've got well, and I just love to hear all of these funny scenarios where we've known about it and we've, like, been annoyed at it and pushed it away. And I knew about Sarno for 6 months before I even considered revisiting it and implementing it. And I was like, well, I know about this and why didn't I get well? Why didn't I get any? And I was like, it took me a good 6 months to come back and revisit. And be ready, and be ready to actually do some change.
