The question to ponder today was to take a look at what emotions keep coming up in the journal, and I think sadness is the biggest one for me. I am guessing that there is some anger to un-earth, as I am reluctant to do so in my daily life, but sadness seems to prevail throughout. Lots of inner...

Hey - thanks! Yeah, I think there's a TMS thing happening - certainly in regard to muscle spasms in my neck - the vocal folds themselves are another question, and an interesting one. I do indeed look forward to solving it! Thanks for your reply....

Hey folks - Working the program and enjoying it. Lots of journaling, and back issues seem to have relaxed a good bit. My vocal problems persist and have gotten worse lately as the demands on it have become greater. Anybody dealing with or had success in dealing with vocal strain?

Hey folks - First, thank you so much for the effort that went into the Structured Educational program. I am making good use of it - and somehow sticking with it as crazy busy as I am these days.... The journaling has been very intense, and I hope, productive. I'm surpassed by how many...

The "Question to Ponder" in the Structured Educational Program today asks if we are overly critical.... Um, YEAH. I think I have been conditioned for a long time to believe that this is a good thing. The fact that I am my own worst critic has been a badge of honor in a lot of ways. And if...

The "Question to ponder" is such a good one today. It says, "Are you having success at recognizing the emotions connected to your pain? If you have, how do these emotions make you feel? If not, what do you think is preventing you from doing this?" I feel like I am uncovering some good painful...

Thanks for the encouragement, Walt! I will definitely keep chipping away - my healing is going to be more of a "process" healing (as opposed to an overnight "wonder" story), so I anticipate needing the longer road, time-wise. Thanks again for your kind words!

Hi G.R. -- thanks so much for checking in! A friend gave me a Sarno Book, which I read, and then, ironically, my osteopath mentioned this forum, and I'm on day 8 of the structured educational program. Pretty great so far. I need to do some more organized listing, but I find the journaling...
