Anxiety is the thing that had the closest to 1:1 impact on my pain. The type of anxiety that equals fear. Solving the anxiety problems through the TMS methods discussed here made a drastic difference. There was still fear leftover. That was the toughest and last part.
Read this more than once. You HAVE to find a way to convince yourself at a gut level that SHOULD let go of these things that stress you. You should feel that way because of genuine compassion for yourself. So take whatever drastic steps you have to to make that happen. Eventually you will see the anxiety and fear as making no sense. Then life as well as the pain get better. You won’t care so much about outcomes because you have confidence you’ll be fine either way.
Hope that’s helpful. If I had read that a million times and actually understood it it would have helped me.
