This book is an amazingly empathetic, compassionate, clarifying look at how and why the Bible was written the way it was. The author's perspective made me cry a few times in a very relieving way, due to properly contextualizing some major confusions and concerns I had about the Bible. It doesnt answer all my questions about life obviously, but this book was so good. It was recommended to me by my friend who grew up and left Evanglical Christianity due to the church not having enough wisdom or compassion to help her with her life struggles. she spoke very highly of this book, as she is a poet and storywriter herself, and thats helped her heal much if her religious trauma.

Dr Sarno has compiled lots of amazing work here and synthesized many things Ive felt over the course of my life intuitively, but hes given me the medical and psychological language to fully understand. I cried a lot listening to this, it qas that validating. Too many times Ive been to the doctor's in excruciating pain only to be told theres nothing wrong with me so I shouldnt be in pain!

My only critique for Sarno here is that I think hes wrong on 2 things. One, I think the location of the pains do tell us something. The transient nature of them I think points to fascia defensive holding and armoring patterns we've learned over many years (see Fascia Unwinding and TRE by Berceli). And 2, you CAN work with the subconscious directly by holding a hand on your pain and interviewing it/speaking to it directly with IFS (Internal Family Systems) style dialogue or TRE (Trauma Releasing Exercises/Bioenergetics) and Shamanic Journey/Spul Retrieval style of meditation. The bottom up approach might be harder and more frustrating for people who were traumatized as children and have layers upon layers of repressed emotions that they cant readily discern, as the emotions are all knotted together and muddied, but it does work. I've done it. Sometimes a top down approach is best,l for talking, sometimes a bottom up approach is best for feeling and releasing. The latest research is showing PTSD is an overwhelm of the nervous system, not just the mind (as per the Body Keeps The Score by Kolk and Waking the Tiger by Levine), so preverbal/infant/birth trauma may not respond to talk therapy or journaling and can even make it worse as talking about it can be retraumatizing, and in these cases bottom up somatic therapies are better for processing repressed emotions. I personally am healing using both angles of approach. I try to listen to my body and mind for what approach it wants and needs to work through something and that changes day to day.

...to recognize unhealthy behaviors AND how to recognize healthy behaviors in your parents, other people, and your self! Sometimes parents can be very damaging to their children by being emotionally immature, even if the parents don't have a personality disorder or mental illness (or at least not diagnosed). This book is helpful for you if you're a child of parents who are emotionally immature due to their own unresolved traumatic childhoods. Many of these behaviors are laid out and Gibson gives a thorough yet non-daunting explanation of how a parent does them, why they parent is doing them both consciously and unconsciously, why these behaviors are harmful to the child's development of self and how it affects you for the rest of your life in both your relationship to your family and other situations not involving family. I had many ah-ha moments from this book, and Chapter 9 especially was amazing as it gives a side by side break down list of what getting to know a new friend or romantic partner looks like if the person is healthy vs if they're emotionally immature/unavailable/manipulative/dangerous/emotionally abusive. If you're parents were emotionally immature they probably never EXPLAINED basic interactions to you and how to stay safe around people, what signs to look for and how to navigate a conversations to maintain your boundaries. Chapter 9 is one of my favorite things I've ever read in any book. Its that helpful. I really love and appreciate the healing and insights this book has helped me have.
