The MindBody Healing Journey is an online recovery programme created by Dr David Schechter (physician trained under Dr John Sarno) and Dr Justin Barker (psychologist). It is designed to teach the principles of mind–body medicine and TMS (Tension Myoneural Syndrome), guiding people step by step in applying these ideas to chronic pain, fatigue, stress-related illness, and other neuroplastic symptoms.
-
Delivered as a self-paced online course, the programme combines education, practical tools, and simulated therapeutic sessions.
Video modules explain how chronic symptoms can arise from neural pathways and emotional patterns.
Guided exercises and worksheets help participants uncover stress, process emotions, and apply new coping strategies.
Simulated therapy sessions model how emotional expression and awareness reduce physical symptoms.
Participants create a personalised healing plan as they work through the material.
-
This is not a new “method,” but a structured programme that teaches and applies existing mind–body principles.
Dr Schechter trained directly under Dr John Sarno, bringing continuity with the original TMS approach.
The course is suitable for beginners who want a clear, guided introduction to mind–body healing.
It draws from techniques used in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy (EAET), and other emotion-focused approaches.

Users valued the clear structure of the modules, which helped them turn TMS theory into practical daily actions (TMS Wiki forum https://www.tmswiki.org/forum/).
Several appreciated the simulated therapy sessions, saying it felt like having a therapist model the process for them (Reddit r/TMS https://www.reddit.com/r/TMS/).
Many found the combination of education and emotional exercises gave them both insight and tools, making recovery feel more possible (YouTube comments https://www.youtube.com/).
