I have seen a big improvement of symptoms since coming across the PPPD information then tying it to TMS. Dizziness will almost always accompany stress at higher levels. I'm not talking about every day stress that we all have to deal with. I'm talking about those spikes in stress which are...

I would say you're definitely on the right track! I too have come to the PPPD conclusion after decades of dizziness/vertigo (very different). This is prime brain real estate for TMS to hang out in for me since I have documented inner ear issues. At age 5 I lost my hearing in my right ear due to...

The best book I've found so far that really ties everything together nicely is "The Great Pain Deception" by Steven Ozanich. I highly suggest it! As far as what work to do, I would make sure you have a good core understanding of TMS. It's important to know where and how it stared. If this...

Feel free to PM me any time. I get genuine joy from knowing I'm helping to make a difference in someone. The first step though is to read the books. You need an understanding of where the pain started and a good reference point as to if you can fully believe that TMS could be a real thing. I...

Hodini, I have spent substantial time reading through all the the posts you have put up here since you became a member. You are obviously very skeptical, which is fine, however, I'm not going to spend a ton of time trying to convince you of anything. I doubt that's what you're looking for...

Hodini, I promise to address this lengthy reply with answers to the best of my ability. My ability being my experiences with this for the better part of 15 years. In no way am I a TMS therapist and if I come off that way, I apologize. I can again only pull from my extensive research and real...

It's a process for sure and maybe it would be considered "incurable" however, it IS controllable. Would you rather sit there in agonizing pain, have some unnecessary back surgery, still be in pain and chase some medical cure that isn't there or have the tools to notice what's happening, the...

Did you bother looking for responses to this question? NO, I'm not the creator of this course but I did respond. The first hurdle to overcoming TMS is believing in the process. The reason most didn't respond was probably because this very question was dealt with within the course.

I love the Springsteen reference! It reminds me of one of my most useful tools to keep my head straight where TMS and anxiety are concerned. I have the Google Keep app which allows me to pin notes to my phone screen. Since I like many people are never far from my phone, I find that I glance at...

Lainey, thank you for the encouraging words. There are only a few things that I am passionate about and psychology is one of them. My first career option will always be musician but that one is completely unrealistic!:singing:

I'm not really looking at it as beating myself up for being too responsible. It's more knowing myself, how I got here, and realizing that said "responsibility" cost me every single dream I had. At some point we have to let go and take the "it's going to be okay, either way" attitude. I've tried...

Plum, you made my day! For now however, I'll have to stick to gaining my Google Masters degree in psychology! I have twins that are currently entering their sophomore year of college so no room for one more student loan. Probably one of my main sources of TMS...hyper-responsibility along with...

Thank you so much! I've just taken the time to look back at some of my alerts and it feels so good to be able to help. One of my biggest regrets in life is never pursuing a career in psychology so knowing that at least my Google degree can help in some ways is very comforting!

You're welcome. It feels really good to help, and we're all here for each other!

First off, I've been a Sarno disciple for over 15 years so I'm very versed in what's going on and how it effects the mindbody connection. I used to search for what my mind was trying to block from coming out. As I stated in an earlier post, I've found through this course that once the years of...
