Thanks, yes I did that and have read many of the posts. I was just wondering about hip dysplasia specifically, and people having worked through that. I couldn’t find that in a jiffy.

I feel you. I don’t know how to live life in peace either. I think not knowing is good though - it’s saying: I no longer want to do it the way I did . It’s surrender. I (try to) meditate. Every day, I just sit with myself and I sit with the whirling whoosh of unrest. I don’t know. I feel you!

Quick question: is hip dysplasia TMS? Or rather: does it necessarily cause pain? Would love to hear your experiences/thoughts!

It’s a while ago and as I think I have a torn hip labrum as well, I wondering how you are doing now?

Just reading about Claire Weekes on this wiki has helped a lot. Much less anxious now, so thanks!

Thanks! I don't think it's that exactly - I experience a lot of happiness actually, also during pain, and often I practice feeling joy and happiness in moments of severe pain (I think it's an Alan Gordon exercise I found somewhere on here). It's more like I'm sabotaging my hope or something: I...

Hi there, Rationally, I'm completely convinced I have TMS. I've seen doctors, etc, blabla. I can come to no other conclusion. I've been told I have TMS (though not by a medical doctor). However, doubt keeps bubbling up (which I know and believe is the TMS talking). Through honest JournalSpeak...

:D

Thanks, that's really helpful. And I agree with you on the googling - though funnily in this case it was actually really helpful as it was exactly like reading a Sarno chapter on how the medical world treats this stuff as physical. Instead of concluding oh no I have this, I grinned and thought...

I love this and couldn’t agree more. In her podcasts Nicole says you should treat journaling like blowing your nose. Get al the dirt out and then throw it away! So much rage coming up with me too - I found myself “roaring” (on paper) about my childhood friend: I’M SO JEALOUS OF THAT B*TCH IT’S...

Hi all, I've been on my TMS journey for a couple of months, since I've started pain has been acting weirdly - getting worse, getting a bit better, then getting back to "normal", changing locations faster, turning up in old places I've had injuries - to summarise: it's obvious my mind is reacting...

Thanks so much for your long reply. What you say about the fear of the fear really resonates with me - basically it's about letting go of the idea that I (or anyone) can truly control fear, or any emotion really. I fear the sensation of being afraid, when the fear itself is actually less...
