In this interview with mind body coach Fred Amir, I got to enjoy a taste of Fred’s effusive spirit, logical mind, and engaged planning as we hear the tail of his recovery from 25 months of full body suffering during a bout with mind body issues. Fred shares that he did need to find the right information to begin getting better and that he did so in Dr. Sarno’s work, just as I did, but we also agreed that there are other aspects of the healing that require people to find their own system to make it work.

One of the main things on which we bonded was the now laughable notions of structural theories, as they do not fit with even the most basic observations we can make so easily. Fred shares that he got a lot of what made him better simply by asking himself to find joy and excitement, rather than fear and worry. His nine step process that he crafted for himself can now be found in book form, as he, in his own words, became an ‘accidental author’.

Fred’s ideas on how to get better have freed up hundreds, if not thousands of people to get better, and his sense of humor, along with the inspiration of Rocky soundtracks helped him make rapid progress once he understood the mind body process. His system shows that it isn’t always what you do, so much as what you come to believe from what you do. It was a pleasure having him on and I look forward to more time with this energetic mind body coach.
