Thank you @mindfulness. Yes ma'am, I am aware of Dr. John Sarno. What he describes is Central Sensitization Syndrome whereas the brain creates the pain and there is no tissue damage. Recreating new brain pathways through lifestyle change is exactly what Dr. Sletten teaches at Mayo Clinic. Here is more on that:

I believe @lorirenee1 had followed, or follows Dr. Sarno. Perhaps she or other members will chime in to discuss with you their benefits from self-help advocacy.

Hi Rachel
Thanks for the link. I will listen to the whole thing later. I believe I have seen his earlier video.
I have participated in mindfulness courses, and practice it as well (although not as well as I should). I use Curable, and I am an advocate for mindfulness practice.
However, I'd like to point out that in the case of typical Small Fiber Peripheral Neuropathy, there is an actual physical injury (tissue damage), which can be demonstrated by a punch biopsy. Similarly in other forms of PN.
This is somewhat different from other forms of chronic pain syndromes.
Not to discourage anyone from trying this form of therapy. In many cases, it is the only thing that works.
