Thanks, Gigi, the writing assignment this morning was to write a letter to someone I had negative feelings about. Lots of swirling of feelings around my stepmom and the writing cleared my body completely. I do love this work! Blessings right back to you.

Have been away from the active SEP work as my stepmom died, and I have spent the last 10 days dealing with her death and clearing out her very cluttered apartment. The TMS method was always with me, and I schlepped stuff around and packed and carried boxes and walked a good bit, and cried a good...

Day 11 Write about an item on the history list. When I was 13, my folks made the choice to take us to Europe the following summer which meant I could not return to summer camp which I loved. I felt mad and could not tell them that. I cried and they were disappointed with my...

Day 10. For today's journal activity you need to write an Unsent Letter to somebody or something that is causing you current stress. Dear Ginny and Gay, I am experiencing performance anxiety when I play with you because I think I’m not good enough. You’re so much better than me...

Yes, yes, and yes!!!

Day 9 Writing When I was 4 years old, I was caught playing doctor with Bobby Hite. I have no memory of this. Barb (my sister)has told me that Mum yelled and yelled and something about taking off in the car, and I fell out. I don’t know what’s real about all that. I’ve done lots of work on this...

You too, sister!

My pain had disappeared completely, and I backed off doing this work consistently. Surprise! Or not, the pain is back. Not nearly as intensely and it's there. At a level I can continue to walk and play tennis, although walking is moderately uncomfortable. And I'm able to focus on what's inside...

The "What can I do differently next time" question is always useful for me and the source for some great journaling!

Hooray that you made it through the day! Kudos to you for that. I support you on your journey in a big way. I so understand those days that feel almost impossible to get through. You can do this!

Just saw the below in another post. Perhaps it can be useful for you. "I'm three weeks through the program, and think it's great. I needed to make one major change to it, though. It might be worth including mention of this in the program itself. I've found that journaling every day (even with...

bman, I don't have an answer to your questions? I'm pretty new at this as well. What I have is lots of support and empathy and a vision of disappearing pain for you.

Fabulous that you feel great today after playing. There truly is magic in this work.

Hi Dont Stop Believing, Thank you for your vulnerability. I hold you in my heart in a big way. For me, being honest and open like you have, is helping me heal. What I've been told, and I'm still pretty new in my TMS work, is to keep educating myself and writing until my subconscious 'gets' that...

Day 8 Find one person or personality trait, and write a letter to it. Dear High Expectations, Push and Collapse, 13 Year Old, You are all a part of the high expectations piece of me. To my sweet inner 13 year old. It doesn’t work to do it this way, your old way, anymore. I know you...
