There are books about assertiveness and social intelligence and such, also a book called Dealing with Difficult People or Dealing With People You Can't Stand (not sure which one I read in another language) by Rick Kirschner and Rick Brinkman, I don't know your parents, but it was helpful for...

Well, there was discussion about it above. Didn't you say that psychotic people don't get TMS? And that everyone else does? And then someone mentioned schizophrenia too... I think it is an interesting discussion, was just surprised that people with psychosis would be singled out from having...

Love the thread! I disagree that people diagnosed with psychosis or schizophrenia cannot have TMS! I had been diagnosed with those and seem to have TMS! (probably had it before too, but not during the 'extreme states' that is true.) Though maybe my diagnosis was wrong? :) I 99.9% of time...

Thanks! Tapping has worked for me for some things, so I expected it to work for this too. :) Glad to hear TMS journaling and SEP program have helped you! Did you also do meditation (is it a necessary part of the program)? I know some of the causes of my anger, though the forgiving part is still...

Recently I've discovered a lot of anger when I tapped (EFT) on different issues. Just tapping didn't seem to help much, in fact, tapping on the anger and feeling it seemed to increase it. Then I asked myself 'How old are you?' and 'What is happening?' and tapped on and it helped. Now I wonder...

NIClubber and UkAdR, what is your lifestyle and nutrition like? My parents cured their back pain with a combination of nutrition and exercise+walking every day. Also, do you maybe live in indoor or outdoor polluted area? Things to consider... I do believe in TMS causing problems too, sometimes...

WOW! Great to hear about a breakthrough! I like what you write about "a balance between getting in touch with negative stuff I'm still suppressing and working on keeping my outlook positive with affirmations and so on." Do share any tips on that if you have'em! I'm only on Day 5 of Educational...

Blake that is so great that you have cured yourself with exercising before and that you have The Feeling Good Handbook - I take it has been helpful before? I too often just 'forgot' about it, or thought it would somehow 'work' even without me working it! When in reality I almost always felt...

YAY for playing again! :) I stopped playing guitar (so much) because it hurt too, and am now going to play some guitar! :)

Blake, I highly recommend DIY CBT from The Feeling Good Handbook by Dr David Burns, there are other possibly helpful books too. It can be done in combination with EFT (emofree.com and other websites and Youtube videos) I'd stay away from antidepressants too... I know someone who has been put on...
