Special TMS author event on Tuesday, March 4

I hope everyone will join the call-in March 4 and meet Stephen Conenna. Here's more about him and his book:

In his book, Stephen Conenna, a civil engineer, Use Your Mind to Heal Your Body, tells his compelling story about how he healed from 15 years of chronic, severe back pain after reading Dr. Sarno’s book, Healing Back Pain. His back pain began when he was an undergraduate student and became so intense when he was in graduate school at Columbia University in New York that some days he could not even get out of bed.

MRIs identified two herniated discs and physical therapy and surgery were prescribed. He had both, undergoing being strapped on a rack and his body being almost pulled apart, and cortisone injections six times. Nothing relieved his pain until a friend told him to real Dr. Sarno’s book. That led to attending sessions with Dr. Sarno and his associate, psychotherapist Dr. Edward Sherman.

Conenna says he came to accept the TMS theory that our pain is caused by repressed emotions, and that his began in his childhood. His “Inner Child” “ah-ha” moment of self-discovery was when he reflected on his upbringing by a stern father which led to him developing a strong need to be liked, and for others to like him. His “goodism” and a lack of understanding about his relationship with his father led him to becoming pain free. He came to realize that his problem was not with his father and that they did love each other. His problem was how he felt about himself for having feelings of anger about his father that led to unconscious rage that caused his back pain. Once he discovered that, he was healed, and has been for the past fifteen years.

His book is a highly-recommended read on how little we know about our “Inner Child” and how fast we can heal once we discover and come to terms with it.

 

I'm really looking forward to meeting all of the wonderful people here. I truly believe that we ore on the cutting edge of the future of medicine. As someone who recovered from incapacitating back pain using Dr. Sarno's ideas, it is my privilege to help you get better faster.

To everyone who attended...
What an amazing night! I feel privileged to be in this conversation with you. Thank you for opening your minds --and hearts -- to me and allowing my contribution to be received. I look forward to being with you again soon.
Steve

 

Steve, thank you for sharing last night! I had to cut out shortly after the questions afterward but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your encouragement.
THANK YOU!

 

Steve, thanks for sharing your time and story with us, just bought your book from Amazon.

 

Becca had posted a link to be able to listed to the last call, which I thoroughly enjoyed since I couldn't actually attend the call. (Thank you, Becca!)
I'm wondering if someone has a recording of this call with Dr. Conenna that can be posted? I really wanted to be on that call, especially since the description above resonates with me: "He came to realize that his problem was not with his father and that they did love each other. His problem was how he felt about himself for having feelings of anger about his father that led to unconscious rage that caused his back pain."
I'm trying to tap into those emotions and get to my core issue so I can heal and get out of bed!!

 

YAY! Thanks so much, Forest!
I'm going to list to it as soon as I break from work!

 

Wow! Or to quote Herbie "awesome!"

Amazon here I come.....

Thanks to Steve and all who assisted with this recording.

 

Really enjoyed getting to hear that. I ordered the book on Kindle and look forward to reading it!

 

I read his book in one sitting. It is refreshingly clear, brief and to the point. For these reasons I found it helpful and feel it will be helpful to many, many others. I recommend it, especially to those who feel overwhelmed by all the modalities for healing floating around out there. Steve Conenna's book is 'pure Sarno' and, thus, helps to clarify his theories and interventions in a way that only an engineer could. Thanks, Steve.

I do have a few questions now that I've read the book for the next discussion session with the author.

 

Hello,
I just heard this great interview with Stephen. It was very powerful and revealing with lots of insight. At the end of the session, it seemed that there was some agreement for Stephen to return and continue with a Q&A. Did this ever happen or could it still be a possibility?

Thanks, from Italy, @SteveConenna for your time and for sharing your story.
