"According to Dr. Sarno, many types of chronic pain are not caused by any kind of physical abnormality or tissue damage. Instead it is attributed to what he calls "unconscious repressed rage". How does that cause pain you ask? The theory goes that the unconscious mind will repress emotions in order to protect the conscious part of it4 from experiencing them. It will instead distract you by creating the sensation of pain. He calls this TMS"

I read the whole article and if that worked for you, great.

My RSI - diagnosed after scans in 2007/8 - was very much caused by tissue damage and all the positive waves in the world would have done nothing. I still have pain now after a busy week.

But then I'm the guy that says if you get migraines you should get a daith piercing as that stopped mine completely.

Us humans are much the same and so very different.
