I completely understand where you are coming from! This may not seem like good news but I have been working on Sarno's methods for 2 years and while I was always wishing I would have instantaneous results like some have had I'm actually glad that I didn't. I have learned so much about myself and the way I tick. This particular program we are in right now has been so helpful to understand how big a role fear plays in me. I remember being 8 months in and still consumed with the pain when I decided to take a break from all the TMS information out there and just start to live again. I eventually began having mental breaks from the pain, by that I mean the pain moved to the back of my mind even though it was still there. After awhile I was ready to take another step and would usually go to the TMS website for some pointers. I have quit expecting the pain to go away quickly and have immersed myself, as much as possible, in things I love to do like walking and gardening. I eventually got to a place where I didn't second guess doing something in the evenings or sitting for long periods even if I pay a little for it later because I know I will come out of it. Just this weekend I attended a few seminars and sat way too long and even though I wasn't afraid of it I still find myself paying a bit for it BUT it doesn't put me in bed anymore and that is a huge win! When I tell people about what I am doing I tell them I became a pit bull with this TMS information because I know it is the answer to 30+ years of pain. So if it takes awhile to come out of it so be it and in the meantime I am gaining a wealth of knowledge about my brain and my personality. I tell people I went from living 30% of a normal persons life to 75% and that is a HUGE improvement! I say all of this to encourage you. I surely hope it doesn't take you 2 years but hang in there because I know you will find improvement.
