A rotator cuff tear can heal after some weeks, if it's a very serious tear it will be very visible on the ultrasound plus the pain will be constant and will come with the same movement. If it's tms, the pain is more likely to spread to other areas in the shoulder, plus it is more likely to...

Hi, Probably you still have some pain because of your fear of exercise. My true healing came when I found the courage to break into a run one day (just for a few meters, but it was something I had been fearing). I kept telling myself that there was no need and no reason for me to be in pain - I...

Hi all, I was wondering whether some of you could help me by answering a few questions. I am taking a diploma course right now to become a Holistic Coach (with the intention to focus on helping clients heal from chronic pain thanks to the TMS method). One of my tasks involves asking people the...

Hey, I cannot say for sure with regard to male baldness. I am female and I used to suffer from bald patches (alopecia areata). After I did the structured program and treated it as a TMS symptom it all grew back and I haven't had it in 2 years now... in fact I learnt to notice that when I grew...

Hi Laura, I noticed that nobody mentioned conditioning with you so I thought I'd write to you here. It might be that you have such negative emotions related to exercise now, that you are expecting it to hurt. Even though your conscious self 'thinks' that you're doing exercise to help improve...

GTfan, I know what you mean. In my case it's fear of rejection in my professional career. I'm trying to change jobs, and each time I attend an interview and get rejected, it feels so bad. I'm starting to think there's something wrong with my personality :-( I do believe in my skills and...

Hi all, I know this forum should be focused about healing from pain... but I was wondering whether there's someone who has faced the situation I'm in right now. Last year I healed myself from my chronic pain thanks to this forum and the structured program, only to uncover the root of the pain...

Hello Elina, Did you try taking a break from constantly working on healing your pain? What I mean is that you might have become so obsessed with healing, that trying only makes it worse. Also, one of the worst things you could do is comparing yourself to others... everyone is different, and...

Yes in my case, I had gone through a prolonged period of anxiety, and was also extremely stressed about other symptoms (shoulder pain which prevented me from practicing my sport). When I did the psychological work I discovered that the origin was anxiety about work and career direction, but then...

My nerve pain was so intense that it was like I had electric shocks passing through my hands. It ALL went away, after I followed the structured program and learnt not to be afraid of it. Somehow nerve pain is more worrying because it feels less like an injury and more like a serious health...

Truly my hero... I only hope that his work will not be forgotten, who knows, maybe now that he has passed away, more professionals will actually be interested in conducting more research about his theories.

Hi Leo, According to Sarno, leg pain is VERY VERY RARELY a cause of a Herniated Disk, and if it is, it is only TEMPORARY. I would beware of surgery, though I must say that if you believe in the surgery, there is a chance for it to work through the Placebo effect (which may be temporary). Have...

Hi Steve, You are right of course. The problem is that people are too much after the 'image'. I think I'll choose a general wellness coaching program with a focus on stress management, and also maybe a mindfulness qualification, since meditation has also been very helpful to me. Then I'll...
