Thanks. Although I find it hard to believe that someone who hasn’t worked out and decides to run a marathon or run sprint drills would not possibly sustain an injury. There has to be a line at some point that it is physical. The body cannot go without proper nutrition or hydration. Again...

Bumping this back up and adding another question. Any athletes on here? Confusing how athletes focus a lot on warmup, stretching, exercise progression, mobility, flexibility, nutrition, hydration and how that mixes with TMS. Thanks…

Hi. Anyone here know why when I do more mobility and flexibility work that my body parts don’t hurt as much when I workout? It almost seems like alignment, mobility, and flexibility play a part in injury prevention and pain reduction. Thoughts?

Hi Everyone, Looks like my brain has latched onto a new fear and new obsession/OCD. I didn’t even know there was a name for such a thing. My mind has been fixated on my partner’s sexual past. Apparently this is called retroactive jealousy…. I’m guessing this is a new symptom. It’s...

Saw this post and it hit the nail on the head of where I’m at lately. I’ve recently beat all my physical symptoms down to nothing and even started overcoming insomnia. However, now I obsess about hair loss and wouldn’t ya’ know it, I’m starting to thin on one spot on my head. I obsess over it...

I think that the issue with believing in the power of the mind for TMS’ers is that we can start to believe that it can negatively affect us too. Then we try ultra hard to stop thinking about it or else it may cause the issue. However, this article with a study embedded in it calms me down to...

Thanks for the reply Baseball65. Would you say that practicing outcome independence would help with this? What has worked for you? I have been able to get through many pain issues, but now my brain keeps worrying about aging issues, (wrinkles, balding, etc). It seems like a symptom...

If we have the power to control pain and many other things with our minds, does this mean we have the potential to cause negative things to happen to us too? For one who is anxious and OCD, having belief that you can do so much with the power of your mind can seem scary considering that you may...

I’ll look into it. Thanks so much!

How do you all work with repetitive fear thoughts? Now I can’t stop thinking/fearing about losing my hair. Granted I have no signs of hair loss, just another thing to fear about now…

Wow, well put Andy. I think many of us (myself included), feel like we need to “fix ourselves,” through therapy.
