Thanks so much for doing this. So much of what you said - the Pavlovian responses, the need to recognize the different parts of our brain - rang true. I do believe in working above the TMS symptoms and not letting the pain take over my life (even though I get these zings of pain saying"Hey...

Any news on this video? I had great success with the TMS Educational program last Spring and summer into the fall but now I find that the pain has moved into a different place in my back and would welcome seeing anything that would help. I have been reading what others have written and it is...

Great advice. Just writing the post helped me get in touch with what was going on . And my "spider"journaling was about the fear - you are right, it was a good thing to do. Can't decipher everything but just acknowledging the feelings seemed to help. It is a lot about some part of me...

Teachers spend their energy giving and giving to others. I am in admiration of anyone who does that because it has to take a toll on her or him. Be sure to cut yourself some slack and be good to yourself these next few days!

All good info. And, yes, "raging against the dying of the light" is something we are all aware of as we move along life's cycle! I have relatives and friends who are in the midst of this. It is not easy and I am grateful for my own life at this juncture. But still it is challenging and one...

Is there an age past which TMS is not effective? I had shoulder problems and neck issues a very long time ago and seemed to cope with them, even read a Sarno book way way back. But now, for the past 6 years I have had increasing pain in my right shoulder and resulting numbness and pain down my...
