Howard Schubiner, MD, is a clinician, author and researcher who has conducted ground-breaking research on a treatment plan that can resolve, rather than manage, chronic pain.

Pain isn’t what you think. Neuroscientists are now explaining pain in a way that is counterintuitive to both lay people and physicians. A significant proportion of individuals with chronic pain do not have structural abnormalities, but have pain due to learned neural pathways in the brain. Dr. Schubiner, author of Unlearn Your Pain and co-author of upcoming book, Hidden from View, reviews the current state of brain research and a new form of psychological treatment for fibromyalgia that is superior to the standard treatments.

    "you can tolerate a severe pain if you think it's for a short time, but it's almost intolerable to tolerate a minor pain if you think it's forever" ...Ingeniously explained!
  • Dr. John E. Sarno pioneered this theory and wrote books about it decades ago and was largely ignored even up to his death in 2017. He was ahead of his time.

    Nothing in my life has affected my well-being more profoundly than the work of Dr. Sarno, Dr. Schubiner, Nicole Sachs, Steve Ozanich, and all the other TMS experts who are 30 years ahead of their time.
  • We are so lucky to have a group of doctors and scientist genuinely curious to find out and give answers to problems ,especially those that are not main stream medicine. Thank you dr Schubiner .

    By using TMS approach, I fully recovered from CRPS, which is complex regional pain syndrome (official medicine cannot explain it and puts recovery rate at less than 20%). I am significantly healthier, stronger and happier than I was before my disability. I am forever grateful to the friend who told be about Dr. Sarno.
  • This work saved my life! I’m a musician and couldn’t play music for 3 years. I was losing the will to go on, I couldn’t cook for myself and was basically bedridden. Since then I’ve climbed mountains, toured playing drums, and live an active and busy life doing all the things I’m passionate about. If you are struggling right now and debating whether to look further into this work I implore you to do so! I was given a book by dr Sarno 2 years before I began to recover but decided it was nonsense and stopped because I had a “real” problem (of course my problem was real but I believed erroneously that sarno’s work only applied to “made up” problems). I’m saying this to say I understand if it’s hard for you to see that this could apply to you but believe me it probably does! It’s worth a sincere go at diving into and accepting this material. Sending love to you all :)

    Such a shame that most of society has no knowledge of these concepts, particularly Med Schools. Dr. Schubiner, Dr. John Sarno, these guys are the true pioneers in this area of medicine and pain. If you have chronic pain, read Schubiner's and Sarno's books. You will be cured if you do what they tell you to do. I couldn't even walk for more than 30 seconds at one point in my mid-30's, now I'm doing Spartan obstacle course races in my mid-40's.

    You should emphatically give Dr John Sarno credit for his groundbreaking work and teaching.
  • Have to praise this man deeply. Today I saw this for the first time. I've had terrible time with right arm pain that's really messed up my life and confidence. So much of what he says triggers alarm bells. As an artist losing your ability to paint has been hellish.
  • @human-fl2zz
    I am absolutely grateful for your research and for your resources. I've suffered from chronic pelvic pain for the last 3 months and really resonate with your speeches and explanations. I always felt like it was coming from my mind but I did not know what to do against it, being really desperate and frustrated. Like why would my brain do something so cruel to me? Now, I understand that these thoughts are exactely what contributed to the pain sticking around for so long. I am convinced that this is the way to my healing and I am finally optimistic and exited for my future! I will keep you updated on my journey.
  • @KimCurrie-jb9xz
    I've had chronic pain from an overuse injury at work for a year now. When my therapist mentioned it could be this, to be honest I got a bit angry at them. As a fat woman navigating the health system, I am used to being told my issues aren't real. This felt like they were saying my pain was all in my head, not real. But the more I heard from physio, the more I decided to click the links I was given. I am currently in a lot of throbbing pain as I write this. I'm by no means healed, and as someone who's been in therapy for years, I'm not sure what I need to do. But I think this is a beautiful start. I wish all of you who need this the best on your journey.
  • I keep telling myself I’m ok, I’m not in agony with my arthritic knee, it’s just a little niggle that will soon go away. I find this and listening to healing videos every night going to sleep and a 90% diet of meat, fish & eggs is really helpful too👏🙏🇬🇧
  • @nettfd
    Excellent following up Dr. Sarno Ideas!!
  • @VinceVP
    Wow, mic drop at the end there! Pain is a gift from God, and then post-traumatic growth. As somebody in the midst of understanding and overcoming their TMS pain, that is incredibly inspiring. Thank you Dr. Schubiner!
  • @1egmont
    Knowledge as the prescription. Brilliant. The doctor as teacher. Terrific stuff.
  • @kmlund42
    I almost died from intractable pain and then it turned into chronic pain and my quality of life has been so poor. The nonunion from my spine healed this year yet Iam still suffering. I also have Fybromyalgia and inflamation of my long bones. I am so tired of my poor quality of life. I was molested and abused by both parents. I was a fully functioning teacher and lost everything. This info could really help me. Thank you so much for your empathy and knowledge.
  • @griff522
    Thank you "Talks at Google" for sharing this video and getting the message out there that Dr. Schubiner teaches. I love the "post traumatic growth" phrase he uses because ultimately that is the purpose of the pain.
  • @ShlisaShell
    A shame that there are so few views and comments. I was turned to Dr. Howard Schubiner's stuff about five years ago. I found the perfect pain/group therapy along with all that I have learned and found great success. I'm going through bad stuff again so time to refresh my memory.
