Here I review the understanding put forward in the book The Divided Mind by Dr John Sarno as long ago as 2006. Doctor Sarno was one of the first medical doctors to embrace the idea of psychosomatic medicine which he dubbed mind body disorder to avoid the negative connotation that psychosomatic was all in your head.

We now find many common conditions relate to what he referred to as TMS or Tension myoneural syndrome commonly expressed as chronic fatigue syndrome or Fibromyalgia but embracing many medically unexplained symptoms
