TMS/PDP Success Story - Medical Doctor John Corso, MD Shares His Story

[@italiabionda5543]

How do you make pain come & go away in a matter of minutes? I have read Dr. Sarno's book on Healing Back Pain.

[@lindapelle8738]

@@victorabucejo8989I’m relatively new at this watching a lot of dance videos and some others. I find most practitioners including Dan say it’s just a very tiny percentage of people that have a disappearance of their pain after reading the books or with just basic knowledge. I also saw a video of a Doctor Who worked with Sarno for years and he said the longer you have it the tougher it can be start changing the brain. It takes some people are short period of time some people take Six months a year or more. So don’t feel bad if you read the book and did some research and you still have pain you’re not alone.

I don’t know why, but when a recognized professional finds a solution outside the norm, especially in his/her field, I think it just opens the doors for so many more people and their ways of thinking. It’s sad but true. We don’t think for ourselves. We are not to blame for many reasons, but I do think we need to be more accountable for ourselves and not expect someone else to have all the answers for us. The big understanding here is that unconventional is not a bad word, nor should one be judged by doing things differently. Especially if it works for them and others. Thanks for all you do, Dan.

Thank you Dr. Corso for doing this interview! There is very little understanding or recognition of TMS in the medical community. I work in the medical field in nuclear medicine and so far on my 3 year journey with TMS, I have only had 1 physician out of about 50 recognize that this could be mind body related stress illness. This planted a small seed for me but at the time I was still convinced it had to be structural, so I had all the tests done and here I am 2 surgeries later....I am so thankful I found Dan, finally I had real answers along with a solution! I really appreciate you speaking out as a physician, I know it isn't easy because a lot of people in the medical community aren't exactly wide open to this idea. Sometimes I try to talk to some of my patients and plant the seed for them also but a lot aren't very receptive. I understand though I was there once myself. I hope to do an interview with Dan myself one day as a success story when I'm ready if Dan will have me. I've come a long way but I haven't reached that finish line just yet.

So concise and a breakthrough for me re not being good enough. Flashback to new school (my sister age 6 had died, I was 5, a year on)new area/home etc & a new teacher asked me something, I got it wrong & she said "are you stupid" in front of the whole class. Never again did I ever volunteer to answer. Exams at age 11 put me in top 1% for grammar school, but due to family issues I ended up in a failing tough school. That gave me other skills 🤔. Sat in my car and tears are falling/healing. Thank you both. John you have a new pathway to walk. PDP doctor . Am now going to let it all go. ❤️❤️

[@reneemerna5658]

I agree with Dr Corso's "down in the dumps", and being aware of what triggered physical symptoms. Right before he said that, I was thinking, what happened to me just yesterday probably wouldn't have bothered most people, and that is just where I'm sensitive. You are right on! Unless we know ourselves and how we perceive things that happened to us we very well could continue to be blindsided.

Thank you both! Dan, I really like combining both yours and Nicole's approaches. I agree about not ruminating too much on past traumas, but I think it is good to recognize them. There was tons of anger I wasn't giving a voice to that Nicole's work def helped me with. But after a while I run out of shit to write about 😂 I think that's the point where it was time to step back from journalling for a bit.

I have plenty that get well without the writing. So, while some may benefit by it, I'm not convinced it is a required part of the journey. As they say, there are many roads to Rome. If it gets you there, I'm all for whatever road people take.

My biggest problem I think I have is that I don't know how to feel my emotions. I've tried to get help with this. Since my symptoms are still here, I'm clearly not doing it right. Trying to think my way out don't work I know. But I don't know how to do this. I don't trust what I feel, except that I know I can feel anger easily and a lot if I want to. Feeling the rush of adrenaline and fantasizing how I hurt the people who have hurt me, over and over.. But that I have done all my life, and it clearly doesn't work. MY symptoms just gets worse. I think that I should be able to feel sadness more, but I can't access it, and when I do, I feel sorry for myself. All this thinking about my thinking.. I don't know what to do. Also getting a quiet mind, meditating doesn't really do it either. MY symptoms have gone down somewhat at times when I feel really good, but that doesn't last.. Sorry for my long rant..I'm just sad, afraid and in despair a lot..

[@lLemonadel]

One thing that’s helped me when I feel stuck in an emotion like anger and sadness is to tell myself I don’t have any reason to be angry right now. And to consciously choose not to explore the anger or try to force it out anymore. The “trying” can just make your subconscious brain even more scared since you become obsessed with expressing and getting rid of the emotion. Reassuring yourself that you are okay and that you can get better will over time teach your brain you are okay.

[@1STBUCKLEY]

I'm not a doctor but in the UK I've been fortunate to secure EMDR therapy. For me it's been amazing how those feelings that I felt/feel could've should've loop after an attack have been "filed" away. No more reliving it like it's really happening again.

@@PainFreeYou Thank you for your reply Dan. I will watch the videos!

[@johncorso3721]

Really sorry you’re struggling. I agree with Dan that something is telling your subconscious mind that you’re not safe. You describe how easily you get to anger and how you can feed that anger as you fantasize hurting others who have hurt you which keeps your brain in “fight mode”. I’m not a therapist and have only a fraction of Dan’s experience, but if it was me, I might try some of Nichol Sachs journal speak, for the sole purpose of trying to learn which emotions are underneath and leading to the anger, (often they are hurt, disappointment, sadness, as well as unworthiness.) For me it was identifying these feeling, the ones that can morph into the much less vulnerable emotion of anger, that seemed to help because I learned to nip them in the bud by feeling them fully before my defense mechanisms changed the to anger. In all cases, reacting calmly, and if possible, with indifference to your symptoms of pain is better than getting mad. That, combined with FINALLY sensing the small hurts and embarrassments of daily life that would lead to defensiveness and anger, and feeling THEM right away for a minute or two, just sitting there with my eyes closed, instead of going to a place of anger or defensiveness or calling out whomever made me feel hurt, has been helpful. While sitting there feeling sad or hurt, I even spoke out loud to my brain as though it was a separate person saying things like, “OK, brain, that hurt your feelings because you have always thought you had to be perfect. But you’re fine, feeling hurt or embarrassed doesn’t mean you’re unsafe or that you did anything wrong. You would tell a friend they were fine and shouldn’t feel bad so cut yourself some slack and know you are safe right now and seriously “all good” and that this feeling is a tiny nuisance and not a threat.” Hearing the words actually uses different neural pathways to deliver the message to your subconscious and can add effectiveness. For me being criticized or disliked or being the source of annoyance to another feels very dangerous to my brain. Your triggers may be quite different, but teaching your brain that it is safe is the ultimate goal and anger works against that. Sincerely wishing you the best of luck in you journey.
