#008 - Dr. Ira Rashbaum - The Unconscious Mind's Role In Physical Pain

Dr. Ira Rashbaum is a leading expert on Tension Myoneural Syndrome (TMS) and mind-body disorders at NYU Langone Health. He’s also a man who has a profound impact on my life personally. Dr. Rashbaum shares his journey of discovering TMS, working alongside Dr. John Sarno, and carrying on Dr. Sarno's groundbreaking work after his retirement. We delve into the physical, mental, and emotional components of TMS, addressing common misconceptions and skepticism surrounding the condition. Dr. Rashbaum also provides insights into his approach to diagnosis and treatment, drawing from his traditional medical background and extensive experience helping patients. This is an eye-opening discussion that challenges conventional beliefs about chronic pain.If you would like to learn more about my experience with chronic back pain and TMS, I created an 8-part miniseries called Back On Top, which chronicles my entire journey.  If you have any interest in my chronic pain coaching program, The Orrow Mindbody Method, I’d love to talk with you more about it and how I can help you.Email me at [email protected]:01:25 Understanding Mind-Body Disorders and TMS15:10 Dr. Rashbaum's Journey with Dr. Sarno and TMS20:29 TMS in Sports: Addressing Mind-Body Disorders in Athletes21:57 Healing vs. Recovery: The Difference in TMS Treatment26:17 Managing Stress and Supporting Emotional Well-Being28:12 The Future of Understanding Chronic Pain and Mind-Body Disorders30:34 Telemedicine Consultations for TMS PatientsSend us Fan MailThank you so much for listening.
