I have seen Phil's story a few times. An inspiration. Maybe I should watch it again

Hi Everyone- I'd like to first say hi, I haven't been on here in a while. I popped on a few times at the start of my journey and then a little later for support. I would like to be more active on here to help support others in the same way you all have supported me. I am back in school full...

Floating is a better word to use, I agree. Like you said, it feels lighter. The language we use, even silently in our brains, is important

I relate to you! At the end of your post you said "I am just watching it happen" and I think that is so important. To become aware of our fear, feelings, but to not allow it control over us. I still don't know why, or when, I got the message that I had to ignore and suppress fear, although I...

Thank you, Jan. I listened to your podcast with Nicole but will give it a listen again. Your story inspired me once, and will inspire me again. Outcome independence is THEE KEY.

I have listened to Phil's story twice now and I think I need to listen to it a 3rd. He healed because he believed it originated in the mind

Also I meant to say thank you. You, and everyone else here, are filling me back up with hope.

I'll give this a listen, I love Dan! The part that is like a thorn in my side, still, after months now- is the fact that my condition is autoimmune. I can SEE it in bloodwork, I can see joint swelling at times. That being said, once I started to believe it was in fact TMS and/or my brain...

Thank you all, this thread has been so helpful. I'm going to take a few days off the journaling- or I will journal about positives in my life. All the recent journaling has stirred up A LOTTTT of emotions and I do feel heavy, weighed down, in more pain and I have the urge to journal more but I'm...

This is all fantastic, thank you for all of this! I realized I have been journaling to fix, so I need to work on that. I have been doing nervous system work as well. I appreciate all the insight. This forum is incredibly helpful

I m sorry you know the feeling because it is pretty unpleasant. My body actually thinks worrying keeps me physically safe from danger and death. It is wild, but my body has learned that. Worrying, being vigilant, is keeping me alive. So says my body. I have never not been scared. What is...

Yes! This is me! I realized, there is not one specific event that I need to uncover and angry journal about. I have done it all. It is YEARS of being in a state of hyper vigilance, fight or flight, sometimes shutdown, constantly looking over my shoulder, waiting for the other shoe to drop...

Thank you! Sometimes it is so difficult to listen to the body. I keep getting mixed signals! I think it's important to hit bedrock. But maybe it's just as important to know when to stop. Focusing TOO much just puts more emphasis on symptoms, at least I think it is for me

Yes! The desire to fix ALONE will cause pain, right? Because it is still a stressful state for the nervous system to be in. If we keep thinking "must fix must fix must fix", it is sending signals to the nervous system that there is danger danger danger. While I DO think I have a bit left to...
