Thanks so much for the reply JanAtheCPA! I appreciate your ideas and I certainly like the reminder about the TMS tools to look at aging. Although you're very right in saying the thread is old, you just never know who will answer, so I never hesitate to write if the threads intrigue me or move me...

Dr. Alexander - thank you for your story. This is extremely helpful. My sinuses have been sensitive since childhood, but now in my 50s, I'm finding them particularly bothersome. I too believe it is TMS as there are a number of things happening in my life that, together, are certainly aggravating...

Thank you for your great suggestions. I really appreciate it! Fingers crossed that it WILL one day get better!!

I thank you for your reply TG957. I would have to add thoughts we're thinking (some of which can be faulty) as a trigger to anxiety and depression (instead of just emotions that we feel in response to hormones), and there are many other triggers. Anxiety has also been called a secondary fear...

I so appreciate your suggestions and kind words JanAttheCPA. I knew about Claire Weekes, but will have to look into "Meditations to Change Your Brain." I am inspired by the fact that you were able to change your relationship with fear/anxiety. That is really wonderful to hear and it gives me...

Thank you for this enlightening post. I'm experiencing a lot of depression, mixed with anxiety (the anxiety was definitely there first for me and has been ongoing for a while, mostly because of work). But I am also perimenopausal and I am told, all these mood swings are a part of this stage of...

Yes, I too love Eddie's podcast. I alternate between his and Katelyn's when I drive to work. They have even interviewed each other on their podcasts!

Katelyn Michals has an amazing podcast dedicated to TMS. I listen to it on Spotify but you can also find it on YouTube. Here's her first episode. She has some great interviews including with people like Steve O. and Nicole Sachs.

Thank you Ewok. It is a great interview!

fbcoach, I was also pretty sure I had read in Sarno's books that RA wasn't a TMS equivalent, but Steve Ozanich certainly mentions it as a TMS equivalent, and he's as true a disciple of Dr. Sarno as they come. On the cover of his book (The Great Pain Deception) he has a bunch of TMS aflictions...

You're not alone jimmylaw9! I totally connect with what you're saying about not realizing that things are overwhelming until you have a ton of symptoms. My body has gotten very good at sounding the alarm, even with TMS equivalents that I thought I had championed already. They flare up when I...

Hi Osca, I really appreciate your reply. It's a great reminder of how to keep accepting and letting it be, not fighting ourselves or our feelings. I haven't graduated from the need to hear these reminders. Hopefully I will one day, but it's so great to hear your thoughts on this. I really...

Hang in there ciciho. Shame can only survive if you keep it secret. Speaking truths out loud makes it the antidote to shame. It can't survive in the light. In regards to your mom, there's something to keep in mind because two truths can co-exist together. One, you may feel like you hate your mom...

So glad to hear it JanAtheCPA! It certainly felt that way to me too!

I'm sorry Omega3 but if you know about TMS, you'd know that sciatic pain is psychosomatic, and you wouldn't be recommending any sort of treatment other than understanding the mind-body connection and knowing that repressed emotions are at work. Chronic pain, although it is very real, is not...
