Hmm…are you doing EMDR before you do TMS Reprocessing? I have done EMDR (I actually didn’t believe it would work but my husband really encouraged me to try and I’m so glad I did) before and although my therapist is a TMS specialist, she said the reprocessing isn’t exactly like EMDR. My first...

It's been 28 days since I've been on this journey. I found it right before my last pain Management appointment. I KNEW as soon as I started reading. I didn't tell my Dr that day because I didn't have enough information. I immediately started tapering off morphine and will be completely off in 4...

For Pete's sake! I still can't figure out how to respond to small sections. My Pain Mgmt Dr has never even asked me what happened to my back. When I think how long ive been in pain and ONE question could have turned a on I could weep! He's not a a listenery, not particularly friendly but not...

My brother and wife lost a 7th grader because they put him on ADHD meds and the DEA only "allows" pharmacies a limited amount of the medication. You can't over prescribe a drug like Adderall and then limit it. It's evil.

Oh! Sheesh! Yes, I understand. Thsnk you Jan. Your comment actually sent on a bit of a spiral bc I misunderstood your meaning of Victim. I am NOT sure that my pain Management Dr will be willing to work with me at a pace I'm comfortable with. I'm not saying he's a bully. He's very, very kind...

I don't see it Jan. I don't see what you're seeing. I'll be back doing my homework later this morning (I'm West Coast time) but I glanced at this last night already and still don't see what you see.

We don't get that choice, as far as I can tell. I too have been on pain medication for 2 years. As soon as I started reading about TMS/MBS I KNEW that was me. I started tapering the very next day. I haven't even seen my pain Management Dr yet. I will be seeing him in 2 weeks but I don't think...

Thank you! I'm just giving it a quick test. You're one of the best!! Thx Jan! Have a wonderful weekend. I say it and I mean it! I can't tell you how good it feels to not SAY the right thing but FEEL indifferent. Truly, Julie

“OMG, @Jak, I'm exhausted just reading your post! Do NOT fall into the trap of taking on too much. Doing this is actually a trick produced by your fearful brain, and, as evidenced by your state of confusion, it's a wonderful TMS capital D Distraction!” _____________________________________...

Of course. But that wouldn't have been helpful for me to hear if someone told me about it. I know myself. I would have gotten angry. There's a few things that I happened upon 14 days ago. The nail through the shoe, the Boulder Back Study, I saw a picture of an fMRI that showed changes in the...

_______________________ This is seriously really confusing. I am going through this information plus a few of Sarno's books and audiobooks. I keep 3 different tabs open on my ipad and working like it's my job. There is another structured program in there as well 'Reader's Guide To the Alan...

What is SEP please?

You’re an amazing person. I have quite literally pushed every single person except my husband out of my life because so many horrific things happened between 2015-2019. One of the things that increases my pain is when he texts to tell me he’s coming home. Working on that (he knows) but you sound...

That phrase "self-compassion" is hard for me to accept. I actually need to think that through. I (the old me) was a server. I would"pour myself out" at all costs. It absolutely goes against the grain to even think about showing compassion to myself. My husband and my motto was, when we felt...
