Thank you so much Leslie, I think you are absolutely right - I will accept where I am for now and stop fighting it! :rolleyes:

I've been doing really well up to now and haven't had a problem journalling or crying about anything but something seems to have changed over the last couple of days as though I have hit a brick wall and I don't know whether it's just that I feel calmer or whether I feel indifferent and...

Sadly there are no TMS practitioners in my area (Berkshire, UK) but having spent days searching for similar alternative therapists, I was wondering if anyone could help/advise the sort of practitioner that works with a similar ethos?

Thank you ladies! Your optimism and support reduced me to tears but in a good way :-) I've felt so lonely for so long and now I feel as though I've found some new best friends! Bless you both and here's to a bright new future for all of us! :-)

I can't believe how long it has taken me to finally accept that my emotions have been causing my pain. I have been relentless in my determination to resolve my health with physical and alternative therapies and like many others and I have thrown all my money at them. Of course, nothing has...
