    Stressors, affection drought. how to remain sane?

    @Mani did you see this recent success story? I thought of you when I saw hyperacusis in the title - in case it helps: :)

    Pelvic pain progress sitting but standing pain...

    Same and I completely agree. My sitting pain is all but gone but I couldn't tell you if I am more or less tight, odds are I'm more tight in that area than I used to be (so it clearly wasn't that).

    Where were you a year ago?

    Congratulations! I think that's quite common too, you've really got at the root of all of this and now it's time to rebuild :)

    Some of my favourite quotations from mind-body books...

    Love this @BloodMoon! :) This one especially I found a very good summary of what the work is.

    Pelvic pain progress sitting but standing pain...

    I don't think you should either, because where does it end? I can't remember the last time I had to stand for 8 hours consecutively, so whilst I could assume that it wouldn't cause my pain to return, I couldn't be sure (and if I tried it, my brain would think what on earth is he doing? I would...

    Struggling with tension headaches and neck pain

    This isn't a knock and I understand where you're coming from, but when you say that your brain can't fully believe it - you did go straight to the physical explanation and the trying of the pillows - so your brain didn't really have a choice but to interpret that as there must be something...

    TMS got me...again.

    I think really it's an overall shift from one of self-judgment and having to figure everything out to one of self-compassion and validating your experience - I'd say it's that at a broader level rather than anything specific you have to dig up (if I had to guess). You felt pain that was more...

    The Great Pain Deception (By Steve Ozanich) - Favourite Quotes

    Hi @MWsunin12, not at all and thanks for sharing, this is all great! :)

    Burning skin

    Although I appreciate that it's frustrating, this doesn't surprise me. The nervous system is complex, and it won't be an exact science every time. That's why progress is measured over time - it's like watching the stock market - if you track progress every day you're going to go crazy with all...

    My pain

    This is so important - and I'm very confident that you'll just keep improving whilst having this as the central theme :)

    Burning skin

    I wouldn't get too obsessed with this, because then it's just going to add more stress and panic (you're going to start panicking about doing too much, and that can become a self-fulfilling prophecy). The fact that you did those activities at all (and you didn't seem to be in agony whilst doing...

    The Great Pain Deception (By Steve Ozanich) - Favourite Quotes

    Yes! And I'm glad Steve looked at it from both perspectives, it makes more sense to me too that they can operate as both a distraction and/or a message :)

    My pain

    Perfectly said :) I would challenge this also - because if you think you have a structural/mechanical issue in your left arm then yes, this is very strange, but if you acknowledge it's TMS, then it isn't strange at all (and it actually makes a lot of sense). This could be a subtle thing that...

    The Great Pain Deception (By Steve Ozanich) - Favourite Quotes

    Clever isn't it! Oh and please do! I'd love to hear them :)

    The Great Pain Deception (By Steve Ozanich) - Favourite Quotes

    It's tricky when there's a true physical ailment there, even counter-intuitive in a sense to do this - and that's it repetition to let it sink in :)
