Hey - do you recommend any of your podcasts in particular? Or anything written to share that really worked for you? I'm a former weightlifter; most of this started when training for competition years ago, and then re-emerged a year and half ago in the gym and hasn't vanished since.

Honestly, I think that it's lagging most in the "outcome independence" area. I am always so content when there's no pain, but quickly fall into a state of depression when it returns. It's tough for me to become truly independent when I don't feel like I have control over the pain. I think I...

Hey guys, Looking for some support or words or something. I just happened to notice that today marks my 1-year since first injuring my back (thanks, Facebook "on this day!"), and then probably about 6-months since I began treating it as TMS. Compared to how I was when I went from the mindset of...

Do you recommend any readings from Lorimer Moseley other than Explain Pain (already read it a few months ago)? Love reading about research into non-structural pain, helps me with my own recovery.

I have an example of this from recent history. Before I started treating my pain as TMS, I was seeing a physical therapist. One day, I complained to her of discomfort and pain when doing the "Cat-camel" or "quadruped" stretch. By this point, she had already come to her own internal decision that...

Thanks, Jan!

Where on the site did you find Alan Gordon's recordings to "binge?" I'm interested in doing the same, but can't find a page with more than like 1 or 2. Edit: Oh, wait, are they the ones in the Recovery Program Here: http://www.tmswiki.org/ppd/TMS_Recovery_Program (TMS Recovery Program) ...

Hi there, I have been going through the TMS recovery process now for a few months (herniated disc and annular tear following leg press at the gym). I'd say more seriously for about the past 3ish. In that time, I've had a few days of little-to-no pain--maybe 2 or 3--but those inevitably return...

Hey folks, I've been going through the usual TMS work for about a month now. I was first diagnosed with a herniated disc back in November (~8 months ago), following an accident in the gym (leg pressing ~500lbs when my back arched in accidentally). I saw three doctors, one of them saying I might...

So helpful to hear. Thank you, I really appreciate the comment! I am feeling totally fine today, so I don't see any negative repercussions from the "incident." I think I can push this out of my mind - hopefully - as being nothing more than an overly-sensitive back.

Hi there, I’m freaking out a bit and hoping someone can help me stop spiraling! For background, I was diagnosed with TMS by a doctor here in NYC. I do have a herniated disc from weightlifting. Since the TMS diagnosis, I’ve made great strides and even have some pain-free days. A few hours ago...
