crushing doubt


Nov 23, 2020

This week, as always, we continue the journey into mind body experience, how to understand what your body is saying to you, and what you can do to get relief from your symptoms. Today’s episode has my most personal meaning yet, as my guest is Dr. Eric Sherman, a licensed clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst, who played a direct role in my recovery and the formation of my ideas about doubt, even if it was somewhat inadvertent on his part! Eric is the noted mind body co-author of Pathways to Pain Relief, with Fran Anderson, and a highly skilled therapist who studied with Dr. Sarno and the original TMS therapist, Arlene Feinblatt. Eric and I talk about the early days of Dr. Sarno and the field of mind body medicine, how he got involved, and how it changed his life. But you’ll also hear the story of how I came to see him and utilized our one meeting to answer as many of my questions as possible -- the beginning of my method for crushing doubt! Eric and I look back at that session and forward to how the field is unfolding in new and exciting ways. Eric is warm, encouraging, and calming to all around him and this, combined with his rich knowledge, allows him to be an incredibly talented force for healing and understanding. It was my pleasure to get to spend such time with him after having not been able to do so for many years.
