Trauma is a fact of life.

Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent more than three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust.

Tragically, few sufferers accepted his solution.

Dr. Rankin discovered the health care she had been taught was missing something: a recognition of the body’s innate ability to self-repair. Using cases of spontaneous healing, Dr. Rankin shows how thoughts, feelings, and beliefs can alter the body’s physiology. She lays out the data proving that loneliness, pessimism, depression, fear, and anxiety damage the body, while intimate relationships, gratitude, meditation, sex, and authentic self-expression flip on the body’s self-healing processes.

This pioneering account sets out to understand the structure of the human brain - the place where mind meets matter. Until recently, the left hemisphere of our brain has been seen as the "rational" side, the superior partner to the right. But is this distinction true? Drawing on a vast body of experimental research, Iain McGilchrist argues while our left brain makes for a wonderful servant, it is a very poor master.

The Master and His Emissary
- By Michael on 11-07-20
By: Iain McGilchrist
Publisher's Summary
The Divided Mind traces the history of psychosomatic medicine, including Freud's crucial role as well as his failures. Most important, it describes the psychology of the human condition that is responsible for the broad range of psychosomatic illness. Dr. Sarno believes that the failure of medicine's practitioners to recognize and appropriately treat mind-body disorders has produced public health and economic problems of major proportions in the United States. One of the most interesting and important aspects of psychosomatic phenomena is the fact that knowledge and awareness of the process clearly have healing powers.
Critic Reviews
"Dr. Sarno brilliantly explores the chasm between the conscious and unconscious minds, where psychosomatic ailments originate." (Mehmet Oz, M.D., co-author of You: The Owner's Manual)

Not the whole book
What did you like best about The Divided Mind? What did you like least?
This book was very enlightening about sources of chronic pain and how to recognize them and recover.
Would you recommend The Divided Mind to your friends? Why or why not?
I would recommend the book, but the audible.com is only half the book. Half the book was written by other contributors and nearly 200 pages of reading are not included in the audible.com version.
Did The Divided Mind inspire you to do anything?
The book helps me understand my partner's chronic pain and some of my less severe pain symptoms. Together I think we can work on recognizing the sources of the pain and improving our lives.
Any additional comments?
I really wish the entire book were included in audible.com. I have to say I feel a little ripped off since only half the book was recorded.

mind/body connection
Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 10 years ago, I can truly say- this book is a miracle. I was in horrible pain when I downloaded it yesterday. Tonight I feel like I could climb a mountain. Actually I am pretty sure I did. I thought I had cracked a rib, and I planed to see my doctor in the morning. Now, I'm going swimming instead.
PLEASE - if you are suffering any pain - give this book 6 hours and 23 minutes of your life. You've tried everything else.
My Mother died last year. We didn't have a good relationship. I was at the grocery store this week trying not to see all the people buying Mother's Day flowers, cards , and gifts. Is it a coincidence that I was in my bed crying on Mother's Day - using my Ten's unit for the pain? I already knew that I had a lot of unresolved issues with myself and my life, but I really thought I was getting them nicely under control.
Because of "The Divided Mind" I feel a weight has been lifted off of me.
I will be buying a hard copy of Dr. Sarno's book. This is an abridged version - I want to read every word.
I know I sound insane. I remember seeing John Stossel on 20/20 saying Dr. Sarno cured his back pain. At the time I thought it was the power of suggestion.
Well- I definitely suggest you give this book a chance to change your life. What do you have to loose - except your pain?
I don't care if the pain comes back. I feel empowered to deal with it.
Happy Mother's Day - I have to go have a conversation with my brain now.

Divided Opinion
I've held off weighing in with my opinion of this interesting book because I am so divided...part of me says belief should be based in empirical evidence, but a larger part of me argues that science still doesn't have their thumb on the whole mind/body connection--and I'm not yet ready to land completely on either side. There is a lot of research going on that is showing more connection than conflict with these two opposing views. Since minds far greater than mine are on it, I feel perfectly fine with my fence straddling for the time being!
My experience with this book--it reminded me a bit of what I call the Secret Dilema: 'so, if I don't live in a mansion and drive great cars, does that mean I am not good at creating the life of my dreams?' And, the broad statements that suppressed emotions cause our physical pains ('is it my own inabilities that cause my disease?--wow I REALLY suck') were a bit condemming. The repeated reminders that, "the conclusions here are not based on arm-chair deductions. They are the results of many years of experience with thousands of patients..." almost seemed to disqualify some of the information contained in the book; and there is some good mind/body information here. Carolyn Myss has been writing on this subject for years.
I've read a lot of reviews (here and on other sites as well) that are "testimonials", and of course the counter-testimonials, the Freudians views, the Jungians, etc. Carl Jung said, "The shoe that fits one person, pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases." Apply that wisdom in choosing this book's philosophy for yourself. There is no way to say this is a good book, or a bad book...you'll just have to try it on, walk around with it, see how it feels.

TMS should get more recognition
It's all in your head. Well at least a large portion of it is in your head. Dr. Sarno's TMS hypothesis just makes sense. If you were to combine Dr. Sarno's recommended treatment for muscular pain with the dietary advice from "The China Study" written by Dr. Campbell, then you would have a winning combination for a healthy and pain free life.
I think that a little Prozac, maybe some cyclobenzaprine, quite a few prayers to Jesus, a mostly non-animal product diet, a smoke free and booze free lifestyle, and some psychotherapy can go a long way to solving most peoples pain problems. I'm no doctor, but I do very intense manual labor and this combination has done miracles for me, and I haven't found a physician yet who would refute my winning combination, though there might be a few surgeons that would be disappointed at the loss of business. In the long run it will save you and your insurance company a hell of a lot of money to do a few simple things. Even if you take out the psychotherapy and talk to a priest or pastor instead....all the rest of my suggestions are pretty much low cost or no cost. If you don't like praying to Jesus or Allah, then Buddhist meditations are said to work very well also, they just take more concentration than I can muster; it's all the same brain mechanisms at work no matter whether you pray or meditate and it is all said to be beneficial no matter what book you read.
At any rate, non-Dr. Mike will get back to the book review, so any-who, this book was very helpful. Half of all injuries have no identifiable cause, but Dr. Sarno and his Freudian approach gives a treatment to this unknown other half. I also strongly, very strongly recommend reading "The China Study". The combination of these two books will change your health and your life for the better if you implement them into your lifestyle.

I wanted to love it
I really wanted to love this book. I've seen how the mind-body connection causes so much suffering that is inadequately treated by considering it a purely physical phenomenon. I listened to The Body Keeps the Score first (really fabulous book, highly recommend) and I think that's why I'm disappointed in this one. In TBKTS, the author covered some of the same information but managed to mix personal anecdotes and data in a way that was far more convincing and even though he also discussed what's wrong with modern Western medicine, it was never in a condemning way. I did appreciate that Sarno seemed sympathetic to his patients but by essentially saying that everything (from pain to cancer) is due to suppressed rage, I really felt like he was missing the true suffering of the patient. And labeling what is probably a trauma reaction as suppressed rage is not adequate imo.
Sarno is certainly a trailblazer in mind-body medicine but I returned the book and will be trying a different one. If you or someone you love suffers from chronic pain and this book or learning about TMS has helped you, I'd highly recommend following it up with The Body Keeps the Score.

If you could sum up The Divided Mind in three words, what would they be?
Paradigm Shift Book
What other book might you compare The Divided Mind to and why?
This author is in a class by himself but "Rapid Recovery from Back and Neck Pain" by Fred Amir documents the effectiveness of Dr. Sarno's approach.
Which character – as performed by Paul Hecht and James Boles – was your favorite?
this is not a novel
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
not a novel
Any additional comments?
The material in this book is difficult for most people to understand and accept. Having the text as an audio-book helps with the appreciation and assimilation of the material. Still only one or two people out of twenty will have open enough minds to carefully consider the material and actually apply it in their lives.

Amazing book
People dealing with pain for years it is hard to believe that there is a simple cure, but there is; considering the pain is psychological. I was dealing with acid reflux for 9 years. I went to many doctors but nothing worked. I even got an endoscopy and they told me everything was normal.
Reading the book made me realize I had a lot of emotional pain that needed addressing. I can’t believe I’m back to normal now is time to live life.

A Knew Way To Look Illness
For anyone who lives with chronic pain or illness this book is worth reading. It asks you to look at the effect of the unconscious mind on the body.
My only disappointment is that the last three chapters of the paper copy were not on my audible and that the chapter numbers on the audible did not always coinside with my paper copy.

Life-changing book
John Sarno's work has set me on the road to recovery after 3 years of debilitating tendon pain. Given their abysmal record in treating chronic pain I am astounded that the traditional medical community hasn't embraced his approach. I guess there isn't as much money in looking at emotions as there is in manufacturing drugs - unfortunately it's patients who suffer. Thank you Dr Sarno from the bottom of my heart.

Incredible...
Hi, I listened to this book because it was suggested to me. The concepts in the book and possibilities are indescribably positive for the human race. They are no less than this. The book offers a radical reframing of health and wellbeing and the treatment of many common conditions. I am left stunned but at the same time there is logic in what is proposed.
I found the first four chapters harder going but something intrigued me to stick with it. The latter chapters and much more engaging and energising. The additional interview with the author at the end is beautiful. His authenticity shines though. As a sufferer if anxiety, insomnia and IBS for several decades it is really making me think. Highly recommend the book and highly recommend you stay with it until the end.

Dr Sarno is a genius and an angel. I've fully absorbed this TMS theory and I'm now working on doing my homework daily to get rid of all my chronic pain symptoms. Very very exciting!

Thank you Dr Sarno
Dr John Sarno will eventually go down in history as an amazing pioneer. Shame his work is not recognised sooner. He is the best doctor you will ever know.

Great book, great narrator
Not an easy book, but an important one and the narrator's voice made it pleasant.

Intriguing
The arguments are pretty convincing, what's left is to test them out. Some of it reminded me of Burns and his hidden emotion theory of anxiety.

A life saver
Dr Sarno’s work flies in the face of modern medicine, yet it’s intuitive nature and unmatched efficacy leaves no doubt on it’s success. I lived with relentless and debilitating chronic pain for 5 years and it pushed me to the point of suicide. Within days of reading his work I was nearly pain free. Spread the word

Okay
I liked HEALING BACK PAIN much more, but there were some challenging and interesting thoughts in this one. I particularly liked the interview with Dr Sarno on the last track.

Loved it, buying a hard copy! I'll listen again with the book underlining all the good bits 😊

Chronic Pain Crusher
When you are suffering from chronic pain, this book is a must! Several students of Dr Sarno are now taking his work further.

Best book ever written on pain management
This book is about how to manage your pain and at worst significantly reduce it. All you have to do is believe what you are reading is true.
If only I had discovered this book before spending thousands of dollar trying to find answers from "common western world medical practices"
Thank you Dr. Sarno. I am finally on my way to recovery.

No
