Having lived with chronic pain for 20+ years, the last thing I wanted to hear was that it was 'all in my head'. I organize groups for people living with chronic pain from Lyme disease and many people feel the same way I do.
This film shows a different approach to thinking about the power of the mind and illness. It is presented in a way that people can trust that the pain experienced from their illnesses is taken seriously. I did not know about Dr. Saarno before seeing this film. I had heard of the Mindbody Prescription but assumed it was just for back pain and that it did not relate to me. It does relate however because Sarno takes a much broader approach to chronic pain, beyond the back.
This film got me to seriously look into the mind again as a way to address chronic pain, in a way that other films, books, and speakers have not. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a powerful addition to their current treatment plan.
