Has anyone on here turned to hypnosis as a way of dealing with past traumas/emotions and did it help? I have dealt with TMS for the last five years, various parts of my body flare up periodically, and I have dealt with these issue through Dr. Sarno's writings, the 42 day plan on this site...

Kaitrice, I'm sorry that you are having to deal with this lingering issue. I have battled TMS for over five years now and can tell you that there are no exact answers and the fight is ongoing but controllable. In Sanro's writing he indicates the pain/discomfort is often associated with learned...

I think your story, like many of ours, is one that is unique, yet eerily similar. Sometimes life changes bring on emotions and those in turn bring on repressed emotions, which cause all different types of ailments unless we embrace them. Mine usually occurs shortly after life stressor and I...

Pratik, It is very brave of you to share your story and from your posts it sounds like you have a classic case of TMS. I battle with different ailments on a regular basis and every time I have a flare up I immediately think there is something physically wrong me. No matter how many times I go...

Starling, I am glad that you have started the program. Both the book and program helped me tremendously. I am currently dealing with symptoms and am having to deal with whatever it is that is holding me back, both emotionally and mentally, but I know that this method work - it has worked for me...

Aimee, it is amazing how this process works. I have battled for five to six years now and there isn't a stop on my body that has not felt pain/discomfort. Currently I am dealing with a left knee issue that is unlike any other I've felt before (a burning when I bend my knee) but after a recent...

I agree, this post hit me hard when I really needed it. 2scoops, I hope that you find some peace in both your experience as a youth and your future relationships. I too suffered childhood trauma (father committing suicide) and have struggled for the past five to six years with various...

It's been a rewarding journey so far and I have been able to control/eliminate most of the pain/discomfort. However I have noticed that my anxiety has gone up over the last couple of weeks and I am having trouble focusing, both with the program and in my work/home life. I've never been great at...

We're in the same boat! That seems to be a common link between most of the people suffering. It is hardest when I am around family/friends and want to please/accommodate everyone at every turn. It's exhausting. Best of luck in your journey.

HattieNC, don't get down on yourself. I recently had a relapse after reading the book/therapy a year ago with great success. It's both amazing and frustrating that our minds can betray us like this. For nearly eight months I though I had Golfer's Elbow (which in on the inside opposed to the...

Going through this program has been a tremendous help. The people that I have connected with, and the similar stories we have shared have made the program both beneficial and rewarding. Having read Dr. Sarno's book about a year ago was an eye-opener and I related with today's reading that a...

All the Rage is on YouTube (I believe) but I watched on Amazon Prime, so many outlets to watch this stuff and find resources now, which is fantastic
