Looking for TMS Content in Chinese Language

    I'm new to TMS. But based on what I've seen so far, I believe TMS is a great way to approach chronic pains and other chronic symptoms. I plan to share TMS with my friends and family that are suffering from TMS. It will be a lot more effective if they could receive the TMS content, especially for the knowledge therapy purpose, in their native language - Chinese.

    I searched the Internet, but wasn't able to find good TMS content in Chinese. The only one I could find is one of Dr. Sarno's books, which was translated into other languages including Chinese. I understand that TMS has expanded and advanced quite a bit since Dr. Sarno's books. So if you are aware of any websites, online forums, or social media groups that has TMS content in Chinese, please reply to this thread with the links.

    Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Since there has been no reply on this thread, I have to assume there is not much TMS content in Chinese language on the Internet. Given that assumption, I plan to start posting some Chinese content here in the near future. Please let me know if there are any objections. Thanks!

    I would also be very interested in finding Chinese translations of Sarno's works. I'm really surprised that none seem to be available after all this time.

    There is Chinese translation for Dr. Gabor Mate's book when the body says no, with similar principles. But Dr. Mate never cites Dr. Sarno's work, maybe he was not aware of it? When I talked to my doctor cousin/friends in China, they seem to be more open to mind-body ideas and would seriously consider psychosomatic possibilities. From some of the books I read, there is a concept that all diseases are psychosomatic in nature, but boy is it hard to really know yourself and live peacefully with one's inner conflicts.

    You are correct. It is a complex problem. The deepest that TMS or mindfulness can go is identifying the possible psychological causes of physical symptoms. While this approach can be very helpful in tracing back to the psychological conditions and their possible triggers, it can't go deeper as to the root cause of those psychological conditions themselves. I do believe there is a difference between a trigger and a real root cause. My view is that this limitation is philosophical, or is in the worldview.

    To go to the true original source, the only satisfying approach I found is from the Judeo-Christian worldview. The Christian faith also provides the solution to complete healing that transcends the goal of ridding the pain. Don't get me wrong. The methods described on this site -- Journaling, Somatic Tracking, and Pain Reprocessing -- are extremely helpful. It's just that I still view them as tools to treat a deeper layer of symptoms, not the root cause.

    I can elaborate more if people are interested in this line of thinking. Just let me know.
