MInd Body Over Price	Customer Rating:
This workbook is a poor value While I believe in Dr. Sarno and his work I derived little benfit from this over price book. Stick to the Mind Body Connection by Dr. Sarnno

Not worth the money	Customer Rating:
Having been a convert of Dr Sarno's mind-body approach for over a year, I purchased the workbook thinking it would take me to a new level of implementing Sarno's concepts. Hardly! I found the workbook far less useful than the recommendation in Sarno's Divided Mind book and terribly overpriced for what it provided.

Pain Free

Customer Rating:

I found this workbook very helpful. I was in extreme pain from my back. By following the excercises and keeping a journal like format, I was able to shift the focus from the physical to the psychological. Not easy at all, but once you realize the pain is a cover up for what your not dealing with, the realization helps gradually ease the pain. Dr. Schecter is very inciteful and provides a methodical approach to dealing with the elimination of pain. You must be patient. The MindBody connection is very strong and this book helps you uncover alot of what your mind masks. After working with this workbook, I was pain free in about 6 weeks. I highly recommend it as a tool to help refocus your thought patterns and eliminate your pain.

The MindBody Workbook

Customer Rating:

I have just started to use the workbook, which is supposed to be used in 30 day program. Very interested questions are put to the reader to make him/her think about elements which might be the reason for TMS or TMS like disorders (alergy...). But what to do with answers? Can I analise them by myself? I am afraid, that something is missing here. One might expect, that in a last chapter a roadmap of disorders could be found, or maybe results of analises of answers to the same questions made by experts, that I could just put my self-diagnosis into certain group. Nevertheless I read dr. Sarno's book on TMS, I am still an amateur, not able to identify my problems. Or maybe I should write this review after 3 weeks...

Also Disappointed	Customer Rating:
The other review that stated you could write your thoughts in your own journal is correct. This is quite an expensive badly put together "writing tablet". While the idea of getting to the source of pain is good - it shouldn't cost as much as it did for something you can do on your own. This really isn't very helpful and seems like a creative way for someone to take advantage of people in pain.
