Dr. John Sarno

Dr. John Sarno was a physician and professor known for his work on chronic pain. He believed that many persistent pains, especially in the back and neck, are caused not by physical injury but by emotional stress and psychological factors. His approach suggests that repressed emotions and tension can manifest as physical pain, and addressing these emotional issues through awareness and mindset changes can lead to recovery. His ideas challenge traditional views on pain, emphasizing the mind-body connection and often involving psychological insight as part of treatment.
