Dr. Sarno has some stories about pulled hamstrings in one of his books. He perceives then as TMS.

Hey there! I’ve had great success healing all kinds of TMS symptoms over the last 2 years. In the last 6 months I’ve been walking, then running more and more. I am currently planning on running my first marathon this fall. I’ve noticed pain and stiffness in my Achilles during and after...

Thanks for sharing here Karen. I love you and appreciate your vulnerability. I have had some tremendous liberation applying what I've learned from Sarno and in this forum to all kinds of TMS pain. And back/butt/leg pain is the one that I am still healing from. Some days are great, some days not...

Haha, I know that experience. I do a mixture of things. I tell some people. Others I share with passion and excitement. And others I change the subject or keep it private. I've also experimented with just blurting stuff out too. Like, "yeah, it turns out it was all generated from repressed...

Thanks for sharing Time2be. I think the forgiveness element is complex, and hastily encouraged by most people, including therapists. I think there is great value in feeling all the feelings and not rushing to or trying to force forgiveness. I find that in this process, as I really dig and feel...

Thanks for sharing sacoulucci and Gigalos. I can see the cycle as I do this work. How my dad was wounded in the same way and just passed it down to me... The core message he communicated when he was angry was: “I am angry at you. I hate you. You failed me. You aren’t good enough.” This is...

Haha, I hear you Bob. It's like starting off on a walk, thinking it's a little stroll in the woods, and then realizing it's a long trek. You need mountain climbing gear and headlamps for exploring caves. What kind of stroll is this??? I've uncovered so many things about my childhood and...

Hey Dewey, I know what you mean. I had some early TMS wins that came relatively easy. Then I hit my core pain areas that are SLLLOOOOWWWW in healing. And relate to childhood pain. And perfectionism. And whatever else is next. I really do think that easy road doesn't serve us though. In my...

Barf. (Regarding your Aunt's comment). It sounds like there is a pull to fix the internal by a cosmetic procedure to "fix" the external. I'm glad you're here doing the inner work with us. Confidence is an inside job. I feel sad and angry when I think about the cruel comments people can make...

Thanks for the recommendation! I just got the book.

Looms like this thread was from way back when, but SO HELPFUL! My perfectionism takes the form of being super driven. I like what Forrest is saying about it not being a problem in and of itself. It's lead me to create some amazing things. The problem is from the urgency, pain, rage, and all...

Thank you for sharing this! So calming and healing just to read.
