I just reread a lot of these posts. Joy always resonates with me. I would so love to see you dance to Zeppelin's Kashmir, Plum. Dancing always brings me joy. In these challenging days of quarantine, I think of the saying "Joy is where you find it." I've been spending a lot of time in my studio...

Oh, I've missed you, dear Plum!! Thanks for the encouragement. ;)

Hello friends! I’m no stranger to TMS or the lovely Dr. Sarno. I've recovered from debilitating back pain, foot pain, and various other maladies dating back to the 1980s. I retired early from my job (middle school teacher and librarian) last June. Kids were becoming more violent, admin was...

I retired early from my job (middle school teacher and librarian) last June. The previous September, my husband said to me, "I'll take that vacation you want, but only if you agree not to renew your contract in the Spring. You're like the frog in the boiling water. They keep increasing the...

Of course you can!

The SEP is a program on this wiki that you can work your way through.

Hi Frankie Most of mine was in my heels, although it affected both feet. Took me two years to realize it was TMS! But after that I was able to banish the pain in a couple of months. If your pain moves around, that's often an indicator of TMS. Have you tried working through the Structured...

Oh Jart I’m so sorry. Relapse SUCKS. Good for you for recognizing the patterns and knowing what you need to do. One foot in front of the other. You know Sarno's plan works. Blessings, Gigi

Ok, surely if he can do this, I can get my knee back in shape!

What a blessing to have found Sarno's book in a freebie box! It changed my life, not once, but twice. The SEP is a wonderful program that will lead you through a lot of different techniques, so you can see what works best for you. Blessings on your journey.

Welcome, Jakee! Yes, once we begin to take inventory, we see how all consuming TMS can be. Good for you for starting th SEP. It changed my life. If you’re so inclined, read some of thof Success Stories on this site. They're encouraging and empowering. Blessings, Gigi

Hi TMSGuy. I noticed that your pain increased as you began exploring TMS and mind/body connections. Rather than attributing that to your increased number of workouts, you might consider that your subconscious is rebelling now that you've discovered its game plan! There's something called the...

Hi Ivanka. Good for you for all you're doing to become well. Sometimes it is overwhelming. And there is no one way to do it "right." If anxiety is your primary issue right now, perhaps your suggestion of slowly re-reading C. Weeks' book is a good route to pursue. As you address your anxiety...

Hi Kate, and welcome! You say you 've been "awakened to TMS." Are you working your way through the Structured Education Program, by any chance? That's a good place to start. It can be found on this site. It usually takes several weeks to complete, and it will walk you through journaling and...
