Instead it had to do with learning contemporary pain science. This had nothing to do with uncovering repressed anger. Their biopsychosocial pain model and neuroscience explanation of pain enabled me to overcome the knee and foot pain (and other pain I won’t go into now). Years later I discovered Moseley & Butler’s Explain Pain approach. I had the surgeries because of imaging studies that showed structural “abnormalities.” Unfortunately, the surgeries did little to stop the pain. The exception being that I had three right knee surgeries and two left foot surgeries for chronic pain. I later dealt with what Sarno called the symptom imperative, also usually successfully. Within six weeks I was able, mainly by becoming attuned to when I was angry at my wife but did not realize it, to rid myself of over two decades of low back pain completely and permanently. I started with it in 1991 when Sarno published Healing Back Pain. Sarno’s approach, which is based on Freudian structural theory (id, ego, superego), worked very well for me for many years. They prompt me to say the following about their approach and Sarno's approach. I am glad to see the above comments on Moseley and Butler's Explain Pain approach. Once you are convinced there is nothing permanently damaged, resume physical activity etc you are conveying to your brain (or your subconscious if you will) that you are healthy then your physiology gradually retrains and creates a virtuous cycle. once you BELIEVE you know what's going on with your body (whether thats sensitization, repressed emotions or pain pathways) you remove the threat thus helping to break the cycle. It seems the resolution is very inline with Sarno, Alan Gordon etc. It makes sense that I overloaded my brain with danger signals (DIMS) which changed the physiology and sensitization of my neurones, my extreme focus amplified the signals and created an negative feedback loop. I spiralled in to extreme peripheral neuropathic pain after a bout of high stress and then health anxiety. although that may play a more prominent role for some.
For me at least as a man of science it resonates a lot more than the repressed rage rave. Thanks Clairem for the mention of Lorimer Moseley, I've been reading the Explain Pain book and it makes so much sense.
How exactly did you put these principles in to practice to enact your recovery? Click to expand.Thanks Clairem for the mention of Lorimer Moseley, I've been reading the Explain Pain book and it makes so much sense.
