Hi Everyone! I just wanted to pop into this thread and say that my name has updated from Abigail Steidley to Abigail Morgan in my coaching work. Didn't want to confuse anyone! Thanks for the references, everyone, to my story. I can't seem to get logged into the old wiki to update my story. I've...

It looks like you have tons of encouragement, but I just wanted to add that YES, it totally works! I had pain with sitting and did the processes to re-wire my brain. Now I'm sitting here, pain-free! :-) You can totally do this!

Great! Do that process in the book anytime you find the pain really strong and in your awareness. And, I'd say, you don't exactly ignore the pain - you just allow it to exist. Don't fight it, but don't dwell on it. When you want to dwell on it, dwell on your emotions instead. :-)

Hey Sarika! I think it was between 6 months and a year, but try not to dwell on time frames. I know that's easier said than done, but it can put a pressure to heal on yourself that just adds more stress. The key is to get really interested in everything underneath the pain - emotions, stresses...

I can absolutely reassure you! I had the exact same pain you are talking about, and using the TMS concepts brought me to a pain-free place! I've been pain-free for over ten years now. You can totally do this. I write an entire blog about using TMS for pelvic and other pain, so if you need any...

Hey Sarika! As a pelvic TMS sufferer myself, I can tell you that you can do this! I'm totally pain free now, and I want to encourage you to look at what you're feeling (emotionally) each day. Just stay aware of that once or twice a day, and that will help immensely. I'm also a mom, and I can...

Glad to be here! I was a member a long time ago, but got swamped with my coaching practice and then having a baby. :-) I'm glad to be back! And thanks for the kind words!

You can totally do it!

Hey Day-Cee! I went through a whole chair thing myself, lol! I totally get it. I could sit only in certain positions, in certain chairs. It made NO SENSE! TMS is so bizarre. I conquered it by sitting in the offending chairs while reminding myself that sitting causes no pain, and that I am...

Just popping in to add to this amazing list! (Love them all!) Check out Emmett Miller's guided audios on Amazon. He has some on self-acceptance, and that adds a new dimension, since you're not just reading, but re-programming the mind.

Hey Looshine! I've had the symptoms you describe, and I can vouch for the effectiveness of treating it like TMS. With the doc visit out of the way, you can go for it. Sometimes, the stress trigger is not obvious, but more like a slow build-up of not allowing yourself to feel emotions. This has...

Just a quick note to say that I had EVERY symptom under the sun around pelvic pain, including numbness and even itching. When the symptoms started rotating and trading places, I had to laugh. SO ONTO YOU, TMS! :-) I am now completely pain-free. It's so important to remember that it's about...

Hey Miss Shamrocks! I realize this thread was posted a while ago, but just wanted to pop in and give you encouragement. It's so normal to have a flare after a bit of success. The mind likes to pull out all the stops and try to distract you! :-) Tricky mind! As someone who has spent years...

So glad you found this interview helpful, Mala!
