I have not. I will order it.

Thanks Diana! I thought I dealt with all my rage in 2020, so it confuses me why TMS keeps coming back. You make a great point about world events always changing things so I could use a r-do. I do emotional writing along the Hanscom method, and I started doing the structural educational program...

My first TMS occurrence happened 17 years ago. It was a total body pain scenario. After many many doctor's visits, MRIs, drugs, braces etc. I finally found Dr. Sarno, began a meditation practice, changed parts of my life to manage stress, met with a Psychologist, and pain disappeared. Three...

I have almost the exact story, although I've been in recovery a shorter time period that you. Pain free for about 6 weeks then back spasms really bad last week. But I know EXACTLY why...had to travel to see my Mom in Fla for Thanksgiving and I was very worried about COVID and my Mom and I have a...

I would say yes, TMS. Here's why. I came to this site with horrible back/hip pain for two years. I started my therapy using Sarno, this site, etc two months ago. Pain is gone. I am the happiest guy in the world. Walking 5 miles a day, exercising, etc. Couldn't even get out of the house 2 months...

I was not aware that insomnia was TMS! While I have 99% solved my pain issues, I have noticed now that I wake up every morning about 3am. Sometimes anxious. It will help me to know it is TMS. I'm not sure if this will help anyone, but last night I just decided I wasn't going to lie in bed. I got...

Hi ricecakes I'm not expert on the forum and have only been working my TMS for about a month-but maybe my thinking on the subject may be of interest. I too was "haunted" by so many practitioners (e.g. PT, Chiropractor, Accupuncturist) telling me "your SI Joint is out of alignment". I became...

Thanks so much for sharing this. Even though I'm quite a bit older than you, your story fits mine ALMOST EXACTLY. The only difference being my MRI showed some slight herniations, normal for my age. I am going through a relapse right now and looking for inspiration...which you helped give me...

I like the idea of this Somatic Tracking. Can anyone help me reconcile this with Dr. Sarno's 10th daily rule which is to "shift my attention from the pain to the emotional issues". To me, that almost sounds like avoiding the pain sensations, whereas Somatic tracking seems to be the opposite, to...

So, I started my TMS program 4 weeks ago and have been literally laughing with joy over the immediate pain reduction, and my ability to restart things I had abandoned like working out and yoga. I also started psychotherapy because as I delved into my past I was startled by all the emotions I had...

I hear you and I've been there. I don't know if my story will help you, but here it is. I understand exactly the dilemma you face. I'd actually been cured by TMS knowledge 10 years ago, but totally abandoned my TMS knowledge when a new lower back symptom started 2 years ago. My new "injury" to...

I just came across this thread and its likely no one is following it since its been so long. Nevertheless. I can add that 80% of my pain I think has been due to muscle tightness/spasm. Even before I read this thread in my mind I had reconciled that "mile oxygen deprivation" from TMS and muscle...

I have a similar experience. I never dream but last night I had 3 dreams, and all of them were related in some way to my last 3 weeks of trying to uncover repressed fear from my past. They were embarrassing, childish, narcissistic, and self indulgent (as Dr. Sarno said the Id would be). I woke...
