Hi, I just wanted to mention a recent conversation with my ophthalmologist brother-in-law (who is for the first time in his life learning about TMS!!) He is convinced through his decades of experience that dry eye and eye pain (and at least one other condition that actually affects the thickness...

I would say that you know your pain pathway (the habit cough) is there, so now you just need to work on building your "feel happy and relaxed" pathway so that it gets stronger instead. Small steps everyday toward doing what you enjoy and not focusing so much on the cough. It may not be so easy...

I know someone who is based in New Zealand: Brenda Wille, who does TRE Trauma Releasing Exercises. Her website is https://bluechairwisdom.com/ (Blue Chair Wisdom | Auckland TRE Life Coach | Chronic Pain) She might also be able to refer you to other practitioners in the area who are aware of TMS.

That's really interesting! Your cough goes away when you're relaxed and having fun, but when you have to get serious at work and demonstrate your knowledge, it comes right back. Maybe it's telling you something? ;) When I observe my mother, her cough always comes on when she's in a slightly...

I just wanted to say that although I don't have the experience of habit cough, both my mother (90 yrs old) and my sister have had it on and off throughout their lives and they both suffer from various other TMS symptoms as well. I actually helped my sister get over her cough and when she...

Hi Kana118, The 6-week Structured Educational Program (SEP) was instrumental in my healing journey. I had learned about Dr. Sarno 's work and already was no longer suffering from excruciating back pain (after 30 years of back pain and other symptoms!), but there were other pains that would...

Hi, I think SEP means the 6 week Structured Education Program that is available here on this tmswiki.org site. It really helped me!

I will always be grateful to Dr. Sarno for helping me and so many others overcome debilitating pain and suffering. Dr. Sarno was a modern day Copernicus and I think his work will soon drive the shift in the paradigm. With the epidemic of chronic pain and the resulting opioid crisis reaching a...

Forgot to mention that co-director Michael Galinsky will be on hand for a Q and A afterwards!

Michael Galinsky's powerful new documentary about Dr. Sarno will be screening tomorrow in San Francisco at the Roxie Theater (3117 16th Street) at 7:15 pm. Comp tickets are available from the film festival publicist! Please email me at chriscwei@yahoo.com to be included on the comp list. Read...

Hi, can you tell me where/ how to get information on Dr. Schubiner's training courses? I have a friend who is a family physician in Ohio and is interested. Thanks!

To tmswiki members living in the SF Bay Area: I am helping director Michael Galinsky with publicity for the showing on June 10th at SF DocFest. Please help get the word out! If you have ideas on how we can engage the mind body community, please contact me at chriscwei@yahoo.com. Thanks!

Kerr has likely heard about TMS by now, and you're right: it's up to him to decide whether to give it a try. Whether or not he does that, one thing I do appreciate is what he said about surgery: "I can tell you, if you're listening out there, if you have a back problem, stay away from surgery. I...

MSZ812, that's great that you talked with Dr. Schechter. Do you know who that TMS doctor is here in the Bay Area? One reason I ask is that I've volunteered to help Michael Galinsky, director of "All the Rage: Saved by Sarno," pull together a list of contacts here in the Bay Area to publicize the...
