Audiobook for $7.49: cli.gs “Dr. Sarno brilliantly explores the chasm between the conscious and unconscious minds, where psychosomatic ailments originate.” (Mehmet Oz, MD, co-author of You: The Owner’s Manual) Publisher’s Summary The Divided Mind is the crowning achievement of Dr. John E. Sarno’s long and successful career as a groundbreaking medical pioneer. While his earlier books dealt almost exclusively with musculoskeletal pain disorders, here Dr. Sarno addresses the entire spectrum of psychosomatic (mind-body) disorders. In Dr. Sarno’s view, the crucial interaction between the reasonable, rational, ethical, moral conscious mind and the repressed feelings of emotional pain, hurt, sadness, and anger characteristic of the unconscious mind is the basis for many mind-body disorders. The Divided Mind traces the history of psychosomatic medicine, including Freud’s crucial role as well as his failures. Most important, it describes the psychology of the human condition that is responsible for the broad range of psychosomatic illness. Dr. Sarno believes that the failure of medicine’s practitioners to recognize and appropriately treat mind-body disorders has produced public health and economic problems of major proportions in the United States.

Dr Sarno’s works have healed me too. Healing though is a strange term to use for a natural brain-response. Avoided for now, is better. Reading the Mindbody Prescription took away 50% of my fibromyalgia and gave me control within days. Doing the exercises prescribed in the book got me down to about 5% within about two months, when I stopped for about a year with the minimal pain. I didn’t really care to go deeper into my psyche. But after a year, some extra-ordinary stress I put on myself gave me a panic attack and chest pain. After an all-clear from a cardiologist, I returned to finding the emotions that I was unaware of, while reading The Divided Mind. The scary-as-hell chest pain went away within two-three weeks. Now I feel free in body and spirit, but I need to remember: when life’s stresses and my personality combine to create more friction inside, I need to remember to react fast with this genius’ prescription.
