All the Rage Film All the Rage Day 4!!

Hey all! Thanks for doing a wonderful job spreading the word!! Keep up the good work! Here is the link again if you want to send it to some one and feel free to share this thread as well! http://bit.ly/atrkick

One of the reasons that Dr. Sarno is less known is because he had no interest in being a proselytizer, or a the media darling, that defied his own medical community. Instead, he wanted to quietly do his work, and chose to spread his message through his books rather than media appearances.

Like Dr. Sarno, All The Rage will be neither combative nor argumentative. It treats the medical community with the respect it deserves.



Here is a clip of Dr. Frances Sommer-Anderson speaking to this idea. She is one of the therapists who studied with Dr. Arlene Feinblatt, a close associate of Dr. Sarno from the early days of treating pain in a mind body way. Along with Dr. Eric Sherman, she wrote the book Pathways to Pain Reilef, which is one of the mind body books we are offering as a reward for backing the project.

Have a great Weekend!

 

That clip is fabulous! I'm looking forward to reading her book. It's next on my TMS bookshelf.

 

Great information Forest!

 

Forest, I almost broke into a happy dance reading your post as I've already started her book. AND, I emailed her…she promptly replied. She is going to call sometime tomorrow. So anyway. Hearing your report, well, that's the happy dance inspiration. (I did refrain myself, btw. My family has enough reasons to commit me as is. haha)

I've already skipped around in the book before I settle into a careful read. I love her apparent empathy for clients. And yes, her warmth and care shines in that short clip…that's why I contacted her and moved her book to next on my list.

I am hopeful that her and Dr. Sherman's book will help me in my continued healing. Your endorsement is solid gold to me.

Happy NS

 

I would love to hear how your phone conversation with her goes, if you feel inclined to share. I'm impressed that you are assertive enough to email an author. It has never crossed my mind to do that, for absolutely no good reason--just another one of those things my mind keeps me from doing.

 

I will let you know, Ellen. And really…contacting authors is second nature to me anymore. I started doing that many years ago to send kudos to writers over an article or a book. Emails make it so easy. As a writer myself, I'm familiar with the self-doubt one feels when getting something published so that's part of why I started doing that. I've never not had an appreciative reply so it's always very rewarding to both sender and recipient.

 

Ellen, I spoke with her and my suspicions were true: She is very easy to talk too. I'm really hoping I can finagle a way to have at least a few sessions with her because I think she'd be like a well-tuned laser at sussing out issues. (Of course, I know there's no magic wands but her credentials and experience are remarkable.)

We're going to think about this because $300 sessions is beyond our budget right now…especially with a kid in college and another headed that way. But, I can also easily argue that we have spent THOUSANDS of dollars in wasted treatment protocols over the years. (And then there was my trip to see Dr. Schubiner!)

I will see how the universe provides for this if it is meant to play a role in my healing.

 

Forest, you just warm my heart. I so appreciate your words of wisdom! (And your captain obvious comment cracked me up.)

I have dug into her book and am hoping that can help me. My big issue is the persistent Achilles issues…I keep hitting a wall with it. It's so limiting so that's why I'm wondering if I need to reach for the big guns. I MUCH rather like the idea of SHORT TERM but man, I gotta tell you…doing one session of that with Dr. Schubiner was no walk in the park. BUT…I'm willing to do more of that - especially since I get twitchy with any ideas of long term naval gazing. And I also noticed an immediate reduction in tension in my shoulders/neck. I really am sick and tired of dealing with this bovine scattology.

I will look up Dr. Feinblatt. I love that description of her and her approach might be a better fit if I chose to move forward with their caliber.

I've also been considering trying massage. There's a local massage therapy school where I could try regular massage just on the trouble areas and see if that works while I continue to read and meditate. And fun. Have more fun. Steve O, I think, said somewhere in the book that one of the docs said most health issues could be resolved with psychotherapy and massage.

Finally, Forest, Dr. Anderson spoke SO highly of you. As did I. Were your ears burning?

 

This is so great, Forest. I will look forward to hearing the recording. And I love that "one piece of advice". That is a tough one to get around the ole mind.

Thanks so much….once again. We here at the Wiki are forever indebted to you for your on-going labor of love.
