Just finished listening to the session, it gave me some huge insights. It's made contemplate finding a therapist but being downunder I wouldn't know where to even begin to find one. I certainly don't feel like the therapists I saw in the past were close to the mark for my issues. Thanks to...

Great news, I'm so happy for you.

Thank you, I missed the bit about Jody being a former patient, now it makes sense.

I felt like crying when I read this, which I find very hard to do as for many years now I have felt emotionally drained and all cried out. I find my children are sunshine in my life and I take great solace from the fact that I have managed to break a cycle of abuse with them that seems to have...

Nadia, I have spent a huge amount of time working on past issues and I'm pretty sure that I'm at peace with them, although reading Anne's recent posts has got me wondering. One thing that I have realised from working through Monte Hueftle's master practice is that part of having TMS is that we...

Hi all, I've been working through this post and listening to webinar recording. I can't work out how the Jody's brain picture fits in. Could someone please explain, thanks.

I have just read through this thread and started listening to the Alan Gordon session. SV the work and life stress that you describe has got me thinking. At the start of the thread you speak of waking drenched in sweat, I used to experience this for months on end and I could never fully...

Jesse, I developed tingling and numbness in my fingers in the past few months. Had it diagnosed as Carpal tunnel by a neuro. Very annoying when combined with numbness and tingling in my toes for which there is no apparent cause. While my symptoms aren't purely TMS I am convinced that my...

Hi Justina, that's a pretty courageous insight and what's scary for me is that I can relate to it. Do you think the attitude to money is a learned behavior or driven by an underlying fear?

Thanks for that great post. I made a decision recently to use Google and forums carefully, in my experience they can be a wonderful support but they can also feed the evil wolf. In particular I no longer Google symptoms. I do find this forum to be very positive and it is supporting my journey.

The article supports something I have always intuitively done. Through all the pain I have always kept working and sometimes I have found that throwing myself at work or some project was the best medicine.

I have come across stories of people who recover from major injuries and others who really struggle, why the difference? I've seen a few 3 legged dogs and they always seem happy, they obviously don't get TMS :) If you are looking for some inspiration I can thoroughly recommend a book by...

Quasar, I can't comment on your particular injury but I can tell you that I have several structural injuries. The injuries are real and so was the pain. I believe that a TMS personality can make the situation much worse. After 20 years of constant pain at the site of a compressed vertebra I...

Quasar, working through TMS is a tough journey. I have worked through it once and it's still tough the second time. The hardest part is acceptance, it isn't a fight but a journey of acceptance. For me it is about making peace with a part of myself so I can relate to the feeling of split...

yb44, I cried too the first time that I saw it but I think it was for different reasons. For me I think it was just remembering the blessings in my life. I was recently misdiagnosed with something that threatened to put me in a wheelchair , which really got me thinking about what I was doing...
