I LOVE that I can ask a TMS therapist a question. Thank you! My question is this: I have read all the books, completed the SEP and am happy to say my migraines, back pain, tension headaches have for the most part, disappeared. I am however, still bloating. I never considered bloating to be...

Good advice Tennis Tom. I also recognize that I have a lot of guilt at keep certain people at a distance. People pleasing. Fear of upsetting people or making them angry. Because of this I tend to isolate a lot. Being a sensitive person, I enjoy my own company but it can be too much...

I have just read this post and want to add that I have always been told that I am an overly sensitive person. And I also took it as a criticism. Then I read the book The Highly Sensitive Person and it turned everything around for me. I am highly sensitive. And that's a good thing. I cry...

This post is such a helpful read for me this morning. I am beginning to see that the anxiety/anger/pressure comes first, before the pain arrives. I am barely just getting a millisecond glimpse, as awareness flickers up from the depths. I love the reminder that TMS recovery is about getting...

Hi all, I had been doing really really well up until last weekend when my energy dipped and I developed a migraine which is still going on today (3 days). My energy had been low for a few days running up to the onset of migraine and I was getting some of my pre-tms upper back and neck pain and...

Thanks everyone. I do believe it is a conditioned response but it is also linked to very high levels of shame. Dance brings that up in me. Shame and comparing and despairing. For the first hour of the class all I did was compare myself to everyone there and come out the worse off! I know...

Hi all, Day 18 and I have had two weeks pain free up to yesterday. I went dancing to a 5 rhythms morning class yesterday (5 rhythms is a free style of dancing) and came out with my old familiar back, neck and head tension. Today I have been having pins and needles in my jaw and face and I am...

Hi all, I have been doing so well. I have not had any of my usual migraine, tension headache or back pain. It has felt really great. However, yesterday, I went dancing. I used to go to a class called 5 rhythms which is very organic and free style of dancing. I went to a morning class and...

Following up on this post, for some reason, I haven't remembered my dreams the last few nights. Doing everything that was suggested, but not getting anywhere. I am not going to do any dream programming tonight but I will get back to it tomorrow night and maybe try a different approach to the...

Thanks everyone for commenting. Steve, firstly let me say that I have just finished your book and it really helped me. Thank you. And secondly, thank you for your advice above. I will try this tonight. Best wishes
