THE MINDBODY SYNDROME (TMS): A Path to Recovery & Freedom

A fantastic book! A valuable addition to all the mindbody literature already out there - this is a much needed upgrade on Sarno’s work and essential for anyone with TMS. An absolutely vital purchase! Money well-spent!

This book provides so many insights, practical advices and a deeper understanding of Dr Sarno work. The author generously shares all he has discovered on the subject in the same way Dr sarno did many years ago. It was exactly what I was looking for and way more than I expected.

Everyone who has TMS has their own journey, but hoping in sharing mine, others can find enough to relate to so that they too can find the path to recovery. By the time I came across this book I was already well versed in the canon of TMS. Reading Sarno was like an awakening and I saw a real improvement to my condition quite rapidly. With Sarno I consciously understood all that I would ever need to about TMS. Still, I was not where I wanted to be. I was not yet recovered. I spent months and months looking for that magic bullet of information where something would finally fully click. What I didn't realize at the time it wasn't about more information it was about letting it percolate to the core of me, to the unconscious.Kevin Viner has provided a real service to the TMS community with this book. It fills a gap. There is a lot of great TMS literature out there, but before this book I know of no other that focuses so much on process. For me it wasn't about new information, it was about having it sink in. Kevin outlines practices that will do just that. After about 3 months working exclusively with this book I now find myself in a new place with TMS. I am at peace with it. I could even describe myself as recovered, though I realize that the path that TMS set me on is bigger than pain, it is about connection and self awareness, in short for me it is a spiritual path. So in another sense the path is ongoing, but with this book I got to where I wanted to be in regards to TMS.

First class TMS pedagogy.Words of wisdom !A "must" in TMS literature.

This book is great! It did exactly what I was hoping and filled a gap left by other books by answering questions about what to actually do and what steps to take to recover from TMS. It’s perfect if you’ve already read other books on the topic and don’t need so much back story on TMS but rather want further help with the recovery process.

It's been awhile since Dr. Sarno published his first book. Since then there have been many other TMS books, online courses, podcasts, therapists, pain psychologists, and so on. Which is all great. But for some it can be a bit confusing or even overwhelming. This book does a great job of putting all together and giving you a practical, manageable approach to recovery. There's even some humor in it, which I appreciate. It's a very special book, a book with a heart, and very well written,
