What would you re read for this topic

Hi! I already read Sarno's and Steve's book, but I'm planning in re reading.

For mental fatigue, would you recommend either?

 

Have you ever read these? (These are 2 of my favorites).

THE MINDBODY SYNDROME (TMS) a path to recovery & freedom by KEVIN MARTILLO VINER, Ph.D.

Hope and Help for Your Nerves by Claire Weekes, MD

 

I haven't read Steve's one, but read Sarno's Mindbody and despite being an all timer, I'm not sure it covers mental fatigue that close.

JanAtTheCPA recomended me Ethan Kross' Chatter, about the internal dialogues we have and I'm enjoying it. Can't say now, but it seems to me it might be a good read for mental fatigue healing.

If anxiety is a big part of this fatigue, I'd recommend Barry McDonagh’s Dare.

 

I think how you read can sometimes be as important (or more) than what you read, especially if you're reading Sarno or Steve O. again. Maybe instead of reading them through like a book, just read shorter passages and reflect (or journal if that works for you) on them. Spend time on the ideas and don't worry how much you read at all (how many pages or whether you got through whatever book).
And, if mental fatigue is a struggle, pushing yourself to get through a book might not be the most helpful thing (depending on how the symptoms present to you).
If you're reading something new, like Claire Weekes, maybe read the whole book (and that one is short) to find out all the new ideas & information presented.

As for Sarno, The Divided Mind is his powerful final book that contains essays written by others.

Happy reading!

 

I really like what @Bonnard has to say above- very good advice.

I have not read Steve’s book, but I have read The Divided Mind a few times. Sarno does cover the non-pain related TMS symptoms in that book. Not sure which Sarno book you have read, but if you are going back to a Sarno book, for mental fatigue, I would check out The Divided Mind.

 

Claire Weekes, the great anxiety expert, says mental fatigue is a symptom of anxiety. Everybody with any kind of TMS could greatly benefit from reading her. Her books are short.

 

Thanks! I read Claire Weekes one. Really good.

 

O I haven't read those. Thanks. Will look them up.

 

I read back pain! I'll check out The Divided Mind. Huge thanks!
