3. Can you work too hard at overcoming TMS?

why can't I watch the video? Every video I try on the wiki says that it is restricted and I need to be approved to watch???

The TMS personality tends to always find ways to increase the pressure we put on ourselves. We have this fear that if we don't do something the right way, everything will fall apart. A huge part of this approach is about finding ways to reduce pressure and emotional tensions in our lives

It’s hard to reduce pressure when my inner child lives in great fear of my mother punishing her for doing something wrong despite the fact that my mother is dead. I feel like I’ve done so much trauma work, and yet seem to have so far to go.

I like this video alot because part of me wants to "get the SEP done" because it is a project on my To Do list. But now I want to savour it and enjoy the journey. I get very focused on things and am learning to find balance. Thanks for this.

I used this wiki a ton when I first learned about TMS, and for some reason I just got a notification about your post so I'll weigh in. I feel like people find their people in other ways now. In recent years a lot of other support means have emerged, (i.e. Cure for Chronic Pain podcast or Instagram groups, Curable app, probably others I don't know about). I'll just say the work is totally worthwhile, your wanting to enjoy the journey will help you. I hope you want to "get the SEP done" because you deserve to feel better (you do!) and not because it's on the to-do list! (Those lists will kill us!)
