    H Pylori - is it TMS?

    Does anyone know if H Pylori is caused by TMS? My wife has been going through a lot stress and she recently tested positive for H Pylori in her stomach. I haven't seen many posts on this specific condition so just wanted to hear what people on the forum think of this. Thanks in advance!

    Balance between expressing and letting go of anger

    Thank you so much for your response, Ellen! I think this makes sense. So does that mean I should approach this with two angles? More specifically, 1.) I should dig deeper to understand what's causing my anger that relates to personality traits and my childhood and 2.) Remind myself that I don't...

    Balance between expressing and letting go of anger

    Hi All, I've been a long time TMSer. I've gone through the program and have been exploring my TMS for about 5 years.

    Alan G. Anxiety and Rage

    Alan, Thanks so much for posting this. I can certainly relate to the person you were speaking to. I also grew up in a household where I didn't feel safe. I am going to try and learn soothe myself the same way you described in the podcast. -ikreim2

    Releasing rage

    Thanks, Walt. I feel like I have so much of that repressed rage bottled up, hence all the anxiety that I have. I may need to devote more than one session to actually do that exercise. I'll also keep in mind what you said about my dad's own TMS. Thanks, again!

    Releasing rage

    Hi All, I was journaling this morning in a letter format where I was writing to my dad. My dad has caused me an immense amount of anxiety. He was very hard on me when I was growing up. He also had and still has a bad temper. He always made me feel on edge when I'd help him out around the house...
