I too have had to illiminate the toxic behavior from my Spouse, (now Ex. Since August2014) It's the hardest thing to have to advocate for yourself when your health is at an all time low. I recently viewed the David Allen clip and found a useful tool to keep handy when things get out of hand...

Hello Boston Redsox, Thank You for your comment. I have been seeing a pain psychotherapist (mindbody- but not exactly Sarno's work) since Nov. 2014. I have had a lot of unrelenting stress during the last 5 years. It's been slow going, but I have seen increased improvements since picking up Dr...

Hello, I am also interested in seeing a TMS Dr. I have been exploring this Tx since January 2015 and have seen some positive shifts. But I seem to be stumbling about and could use the expert guidance of a professional. Perhaps a road trip is in order. I have looked into Dr.Gwozdz practice...

Hang in there Greg, As a TMS'r, I believe most things worth doing, don't usually come easily. We are born to grow and expand. That growth gives us our self respect. Can't have others respect until we have self respect. We can find ourselves at a braking point that is pivotal to success/...
