That's fabulous news, I'm sure it will reach a huge audience with this article.

 

More great news and a nice piece!! I left a comment at the bottom article.

 

Well-written article and great that it will be read by many.
Hope Huffington does a follow-up when ALL THE RAGE is released.

 

It's a terrible article from a standpoint of trying to communicate the theory and the title is pure clickbait.

Most people(myself included before HBP) would be clueless about psychology and the unconscious mind.

It is a deceptively hard concept to communicate to people who aren't desperate enough to consider it though so I can see why this could happen.

Would love to see someone produce a 2-3min animation to explain the process concisely and accurately ideally with links appearing as the video progresses. Any takers?
A lot of people in comments section are reading the headline and diving straight in with ill founded reasoning that makes sense if you don't the understand process enough. Maybe some could direct them to FAQ on here?

 

Agree the title is not good. Saying the pain is all in your head is just gonna piss people off (along with being very misrepresentative of what Dr. Sarno actually says).

 

its a shame, that article has over 1000likes/250 shares on facebook. its really sad you have to be desperate to suspend your disbelief enough to get into the nuts and bolts of this concept. then you think, woah...this might actually be REAL!

 

I added my success story to the comments.

And I commend Forest and Enrique, and all the others for trying to correct the misconceptions expressed in the comments. Thank you for taking the time to do that.

I added "likes" to all the comments I could, but don't have the patience and fortitude to respond to all the naysayers.

 

This 5 minute video on Understanding Pain from Australia is really good in my opinion. It would be great to have one similar to this with links to the wiki.

 

I'm trying my best to be restrained.... But the negativity gets to me.

Thanks. Yeah, I had some free time this afternoon so I spent time there posting some comments. I had to restrain myself a few times and delete/rewrite before posting. Hopefully, I didn't come off too harshly or appeared overzealous. I just get angry when people post craptastic comments with little thought behind them.

 

Yes, for some people it would require a crowbar to open their minds

 

Yep! A BIG one.

 

Its early days and the fact people have gotten so animated and analytical about this article tells me two things.

1. The people behind the project have their heart in the right place and it is in good hands.
2. Solid laying out of anomalies in mainstream pain assumptions is what will turn the tide for doubters, some of the data just cannot be argued with. The battle is against ingrained consensus that has very weak science behind, just a "logical reasoning" basis which many of us believed in once upon a time.

People will believe what they want to believe but many desperate people in pain will have their lives transformed by this work. Keep the faith!

 

Exactly Irish, I think even though the article hasn't had the impact we have wanted at least it has got people discussing it, there may be a % of people who may want further information, I would be interested to know if there is an increase in sale of Dr Sarnos books or registrations at this forum in the coming weeks .

You can only go as far as to plant a seed, but a person will only accept or try this approach when they have exhausted all avenues and are very desperate. I guess there may be a resistance because people don't want to hear they are the reason for there ailments, it's far easier to blame it on bad genes or an abnormalities, than to take ownership of your own health.

Unfortunately, in modern society we want everything to be faster and easier, nobody in this day and age wants to take time out to invest in themselves and heal, everyone wants the latest greatest treatment, but not understanding that even though there current ailment is cured or the surgery has been a success, the emotion is still active and will only trigger a new symptom. I would be curious to know if those people on the board experienced a SI as a result.

I think people have been conditioned/brainwashed for so long that it will be a long journey to educate the masses.

 

Yeah, I think it's very hard to not think that a bulging disc is the problem. On the surface it makes sense. And you have the full force of the medical establishment behind that thinking. You know that it took several decades for the British navy to accept that citrus juice prevented scurvy. Thousands died on long journeys because of hardened paradigms of thought.

"It was a Scottish surgeon in theRoyal Navy, James Lind, who first proved it could be treated with citrus fruit in experiments he described in his 1753 book A Treatise of the Scurvy,[2] though his advice was not implemented by the Royal Navy for several decades."

This is similar to the slow acceptance of psychological causes of pain. it might just be me, but it does seem like we are at a tipping point regarding this.I feel like change is going to happen quickly when the right amount of catalyst in terms of acceptance is introduced.

 

I do not envy the job Micheal has at all, I guarantee some of his own friends probably think he's some some of kook!
It's amazing when you think that people commonly reckon chiropractic adjustments can fix back pain or that bad posture is responsible. It goes back to the stigma surrounding emotion, and especially mental health because it us interpreted as a weakness rather than an actual illness that requires treatment and compassion.
