    New Program Day 20: Embracing Joy

    Hi Alan and all you wonderful TMS'ers. I've been going through this program for the last couple weeks and finding it helpful. Of course being a logical minded perfectionist, at times there are concepts I struggle with, like today's. I too am a firm believer in joy and that it is a choice we...

    Success then setback

    Hi everyone, It's been over a month since I posted in the forum. I took time off the SEP to do Dr. Schechter's mindbody workbook, which I'm finally finishing up. I really started my TMS healing journey in February when I picked up some of Sarno's books again after having a new setback in my...

    Met with Dr. Schechter!

    Dreaming = a good sign?

    I am by far no expert, I just started my TMS journey. But, right when I started this journey, I noticed right away that my dreams became much more vivid and many of them centered around some of the past events or current emotional stress I've had. So, I would think it could easily be your...

    Met with Dr. Schechter!

    Hi everyone, I'm relatively new to the TMS wiki and have really only posted in the forum for the Structured Educational Program (on day 11). But, I'm so so happy because today I had an appointment with the one and only Dr. Schechter! I'm so lucky to live so close to Los Angeles and to have been...

    Day 8 Really liking the program so far

    Thank you Jackhammer! I think I'm still a long way from cutting out meds completely. For example, today I woke up feeling a lot more pain than I normally do in the mornings. I tried to resist as long as I could, and then finally took one of my meds to take the edge off, which definitely...
