    Hypnosis for TMS

    I’ve been in hypnotherapy for two years to treat my complex trauma or inner child. It’s been a long healing journey but I’m making progress every day! I’ll listen to your video and see how it makes me feel. Thanks

    Family events

    “I don't think my presence or absence will mean that much to her.” To me, it’s a sign of low self esteem. You don’t think you are important enough to your sister. Now the questions are: is she important to you? Do you feel good in her company? If so, let your negative self talk go! Feelings only...

    Personal trainer

    I did and I am now my own personal trainer. I’m currently studying to be certified. I like to think that nobody else knows our bodies better than ourselves. I hope that I can help others struggling with TMS to keep exercising.

    Thanks for you response! Could you please clarify? What should I do?

    despersonalization.

    I’m practicing The Power of Now by Eckart Tolle at the suggestion of @Baseball65, who I consider to be my mentor in my Tms and spiritual recovery journey. The book basically teaches you to be the watcher of your thoughts because you are not your thoughts. Your thoughts will come and go like the...

    My mind feels like it’s not present.

    You can try to eat more red meat, spinach, beans etc. and take over the counter iron pills (may cause constipation) and see how you feel. It all depends on how low your iron level is. Mine can go down to 6 and increase to 14, which is the normal level. I get more tired around my periods so I eat...

    Jealous or embarrassed?

    Thanks so much @miffybunny! I wish I could be as wise as you but I feel so very LOST these past years. I put my whole life into retrospective, trying to figure out why I can never feel happy. It could dwell on my difficult childhood, having been abused, my marriage at a pretty young age out of...

    Jealous or embarrassed?

    Thanks @miffybunny for your precious advice! To set the record straight, shockingly I’m actually a middle aged woman who is separated from my husband but we live in the same house for the sake of our kids and financial reasons. English is not my first language so please forgive my mistakes. The...

    Jealous or embarrassed?

    Hi, I’m trying to figure out why a guy who was interested in me seems to avoid me now. We had the same gym schedule so I would see him often. He’s an impressively well built and handsome man so I’m very intimidated by him. To break the ice, I’ve recently spoken with him a few times in short...

    TMS from working out/the idea of working out

    Hi @Tms_joe How long did you stop working out? When you say rinse repeat, do you mean you stopped then went back? And when you say that you could see what was going on, what problem was it? I think I have an idea but if you could clarify, I would appreciate it. It was pressure about hitting...

    Twisting/tilting/pulling in the body

    You’re getting married soon so that might be why you get these symptoms. You are probably busy making plans for the big day and anxious, nervous but super excited as well. I heard that excitement about happy event can cause TMS too. Find some time to relax and be present in the moment! Btw…...

    Personal trainer

    If you use improper form, you can get a muscle strain which may last about a week but if the pain lasts much longer, chances are it’s TMS. I had done deadlifts which caused pain in my tailbone and my physical therapist told me it was common and should go away in a week and it did. I wear a...

    Personal trainer

    It’s insane how much BS are being told about our body and what not to do to avoid injuries. I had a physical therapist working on my problems last year and since I kept on getting worse session after session with him, he was going to give up on me. Then his colleague brought out that he noticed...

    Personal trainer

    I’ve been weightlifting for 4 years, gradually increasing the weight. I stretch before and after exercises. Nutrition plays an important role in adding muscles so I try to eat plenty of protein. I definitely crave meat after my sessions. I doubt that my exercises are the factors of my pain. I...
