Good post. I do fall into that category of musculoskeletal pain and chronic tendonitis, BUT I have no back pain, so I understand because it creates doubt when everyone is talking about back pain. Then they said "if you don't have any structural issues..." Many of us went to surgeons and got...

I'm dealing with the same. I have improved a lot (mind and body), but when I don't hear my exact symptoms repeated in the tms community, my mind goes to the what ifs and it creates doubt. I still hold Dr. Sarno in the deepest respect, but I don't read his books because they focus on "back pain"...

I have several tight areas in my body which makes it hard walking. I tried EVERYTHING and nothing worked. This is TMS, so I don't think about it in terms with physical. I think "what am I feeling"? It's been like this for over two years. I've gotten rid of a lot of the pain, but this is the...

Thank you! It's good to know that I dealt with my emotions successfully. So what you are saying is that I was doing the right thing feeling guilty and sad after I was angry? I get so confused with these emotions. Most of the time I don't feel the emotions or can't identify them as they just...

I had a situation last week. My husband made me pretty angry, and I felt the emotion and told him why I was angry. But then I felt guilty and sad that I did that because he's a good person usually. At that point, I really understood what this TMS is about. I have to allow myself to feel that...

That's good to know. I'm really trying to feel those emotions. I actually feel myself discarding and repressing my emotions when things happen day to day and then I catch myself and feel them as much as I can. Really takes practice because I was repressing for so long; maybe my whole life.

Thank you! :)

That's good that you didn't have to believe 100% and that you could do it little by little. I think you are right because all that I have accomplished so far has been baby steps. Little by little I AM improving, and I should just have patience and live my life as normally as I can.

I think this is a very individual thing...before I knew this was TMS, I was freaking out, and my nervous system was on very high alert. I was suffering from anxiety and depression because I didn't know what was wrong with me. I fought my doctor putting me on an antidepressant for a long time...

I'm all in for TMS and have been for five months. I'm staying on track, and my life right now is about TMS and living a normal life and exercising. I tell everyone I'm doing well even though I'm still having symptoms, and I try to keep my brain thinking psychologically...but I haven't...

That's good to know that the anger comes when it's "darn good and ready". I'm feeling all the other emotions except that anger...I understand that it's not so important to identify the emotions; just to feel it. Some of the emotions are on the surface, and I have no idea what they are; only the...

I try to keep tms to myself for the most part now because when people are skeptical, it creates doubt for me as well, and you are right, the belief is still in my head with some of the symptoms because I can't get those doctors out of my head with their scary diagnoses. It's definitely getting...

I understand all what you are saying...and I think I will be able to let go eventually once I recover. I HAVE come a long way, but the original symptoms are there, and it's creating doubt for me. I step forward, and then I step back...it's those doctors I can't get out of my head. I need to...
