What John Sarno Teaches Us About Insomnia | Ep 73
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
John Sarno made his mark in the mind-body world by challenging one powerful assumption: that chronic pain is caused by a broken body.
Instead, he proposed that the brain could generate symptoms in response to a perceived threat.
What if those exact same principles apply to insomnia?
Well, I believe they do.
In this episode, I break down how Sarno’s work applies directly to sleep—and why insomnia may have far more in common with chronic pain than a sleep disorder.
We’ll look at three key mechanisms that keep insomnia going—and once you see them, it will completely change how you understand what’s happening in your body.
This episode is my small ode of gratitude to Dr. John Sarno.
I hope you enjoy it! 🧡
