2nd of five, so I marked middle - Second born in a dysfunctional family wants to make everything 'okay'. I fit the picture.

If you are on Facebook, follow The Tapping Solution or Nick Ortner's own page. He and his sister, Jessica, have been posting tapping sessions on various subjects. I really appreciate having someone to tap with. I think it keeps my monkey mind under control. Jessica's are often on weight loss...

My son went through the same thing when he was a preteen. He grew 6 1/2" in a short period of time and his knees suffered. 1) Exercise bike 20 minutes twice a day and 2) A brace for active times of day, not 24/7. The bicycle riding helped stretch the tendon to fit the bone without weight...

I have the book and several others on TRE. My body loves it so much I no longer have to do the exercises to stress my muscles to start it. It has been a very relaxing modality for me. BTW, when you are relaxed, ask your shoulder what is the root cause of the tension and related pain. You may be...

I've not tried tapping for the inflexibility of some of my muscles, but I have used it for numerous traumatic events from my past a and few less traumatic current ones. It has worked in a way no other modality has come close to. Journaling was temporary, writing angry letters and burning them...

Another perfectionist and people pleaser here. I think Balto's post had a lot of good points. Fear can run/ruin our lives. I don't mind being a perfectionist, except when it keeps me from starting something, but I am working on the people pleasing. I wrote, I burned writings, etc, but nothing...

Yes, the yoga videos on Grokker are currently free. You might try Siri Peterson's beginner series or Tonya Fitzpatrick's somatic exercises.

"The more we focus, the more we intensify the pain." From an online energy healer. Concentrate on the positives. If only one wrist hurts, then focus on the improvement in the other one. You are in a very difficult position - a perfectionist in grad school. Having your unfinished thesis...

Hello, amarie133, I agree with you that journaling helps, but for me, it was a temporary thing. The emotions from the event had a way of reoccurring. What seems to help for me is EFT, also know as tapping. The EF stands for Emotional Freedom and that's what I want. Nothing dealt with by tapping...

Yes to current TMS and fibromyalgia and yes to former IBS and Crohn's Disease. Yes to current myofascial pain. My list of autoimmune diseases is extensive. I just read an article yesterday about highly sensitive people having a large number of autoimmune diseases, but the research wasn't there...

I can't do hot yoga because of heart issues that are not TMS. I love my Restorative Yoga, though the instructor has upped the difficulty of the poses. He says he needs to challenge us. I told him last week what doesn't kill me makes me stronger so I must be getting stronger. I have two of Gary...

I tried tapping several years ago, but it didn't do a lot for me. I have recently been using it again, this time guided by Nick Ortner of the Tapping Solution and am very pleased with the results. Yes, it does work on the meridians in your body and having had some energy work done, I may be more...

In my case undealt with anger will keep coming back and raising it's painful head time after time. I thought I was doing well journaling, tearing things up, burning negative letters, etc, but old 'stuff' kept repeating until I discovered Nick Ortner and Tapping. I was familiar with EFT andhad...

I am 6 months into a restorative yoga class and loving it. Is it easy? No. Is it worthwhile to regain the flexibility in my body? Yes! I have Gary Kraftsow's viniyoga therapy DVDs for home use. Grokker online has an excellent series on somatic yoga by an Irish Somatic instructor. I can look it...

The link in my other post works for me, but here is one for Day 0. The days are listed down the left side of this page. http://www.tmswiki.org/ppd/Week_0 I don't know the solution to your relationship problem, but I do know to continue to be involved with a toxic person is like trying to put out...
