A Better Way
The teacher in me insisted there must be a better way to manage my physical and emotional health. Along my journey for a healthier mind and body, I tried many things—from working with my GP to acupuncture, naturopathy, supplements, herbs, and elimination diets where there was almost nothing I could eat.
I finally ventured across gut-directed hypnotherapy. I did six sessions of this with a wonderful practitioner, and the positive impacts were profound, but there were still some symptoms, stress and anxiety that still lingered.
Shortly after this, I came across the most important piece of the puzzle for me, discovering the work of Dr. John Sarno and subsequently modern masters of neuroplastic pain, Dr. Howard Scubiner and Alan Gordon.
Coming to understand what can be called Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) or Mind Body Syndrome (MBS) or what I like to refer to as neuroplastic pain and symptoms was an absolute game-changer for me.
