    How to find focus and structure on my healing journey

    This is very relatable, I have this issue too, and the same issue applies to other things I try to approach and learn too.

    Pain distraction techniques

    Thank you. Gotcha. For me my pain/tension is very chronic and is there pretty much all the time so it can be very difficult to identify what is even bothering me in that moment. I don't think I have ever really been able to link an emotion to a pain in real time like that. I was also not able to...

    Pain distraction techniques

    Would you mind expanding on your understanding of this? I don't understand it exactly...could you perhaps give an example?

    Day 1 Beginning TMS work again

    Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I do have a bit of trauma - however, I would say that it is fairly recent (2016-2019) from a very difficult and nasty relationship and an illness (kidney stone for 2 months) - and that's where my symptoms from trauma all began. I do also have a lot of back...

    Day 1 Beginning TMS work again

    Thank you for your reply Jan. I am actually listening to the audiobook of Waking the Tiger by Levine and that's what actually made me bring up the PTSD. Levine suggests that the physical pain symptoms from PTSD are caused by energy being trapped in our body and not being discharged - this feels...

    Day 1 Beginning TMS work again

    Which part are you saying is my resistance exactly? The bit of mine that you've quoted? If so, thank you for your insight, I had not considered that this is potentially just another form of me resisting my emotions before, it's very helpful and gives me a good lead for where to go next.

    Day 1 Beginning TMS work again

    I have been suffering for 5 years, and I discovered TMS in December 2021. My symptoms alleviated when I discovered and read about TMS. My symptoms move around. I therefore believe my symptoms are a mind body problem, they come and go and vary in intensity, they are here almost 24/7 and are...

    Is the SEP for me?

    Thank you so much for your reply. I have ordered the Claire Weekes book. Do you happen to know of any other anxiety/trauma resources that may complement the SEP work that you've mentioned? Thank you.

    Is the SEP for me?

    Hi all, I noticed in week 0 it says 'In our research for the program we found very little information on the success of these activities in treating people with PTSD, depression, or anxiety.' I've always felt that my symptoms are very anxiety or stress related, and they seem to increase with...

    At what point does it become a disease/illness such as fibromyalgia?

    Thank you. Do you do an hour in an entire sitting? Or spread out throughout the day?

    At what point does it become a disease/illness such as fibromyalgia?

    That is awesome, congratulations! How long after meditation did you realise that your symptoms had gone away? I have been meditating for over a month but it hasn't made any difference - I think it can also actually make it worse. I used to meditate a few years ago too, but had to stop because...
