A former mind body symptom sufferer himself – in the form of eight years of seemingly chronic back pain – Dr. Ratner is an experienced psychologist specializing in the treatment of mind body sufferers. Dr. Ratner is a member of the PPDA board, has a professional relationship with many of the medical doctors in the field, including Dr. John Stracks, Dr. David Schechter, Dr. Dave Clarke, Dr. David Hanscom, and Dr. Ira Rashbaum, and was a supervisee of TMS therapist and author Eric Sherman, PsyD at the start of his work in the field. In describing his work, Dr. Ratner writes, “I work collaboratively with patients to get them information on how to understand mind body experience, understand and organize their emotional worlds, reduce doubt that they can get better, and expand their sense of control over symptoms and their own life and self-concept. I often in a more relaxed manner, using humor, warmth, and openness to build strong connections.” Dr. Ratner’s Crushing Doubt podcast – available on Youtube and Spotify –is an additional resource for mind body sufferers.
