Yeah, SteveO, the GPD has made a huge difference to my life. This isn't the place to go into it, but I learned so much about myself, including identifying some situations in my childhood (which I believed was happy with very loving parents) that likely caused me to develop a TMS-prone...

Just wanted to say thanks so much, Alan, for putting this course together. The whole thing so far has been really helpful. I did your Recovery Program a year ago, when I had just finished reading Healing Back Pain, and had no idea how to get help with what I knew must be TMS. Thankfully I found...

Thanks, Forest, for merging these threads. The Great Pain Deception by Steve Ozanich gets the full five stars from me! As Steve mentioned the importance of posting reviews on Amazon, I will do that at some point, though it will be difficult to keep it brief! I read it on my Kindle at the end of...

Thanks for clarifying, Walt. I'll finish reading your book, then, and I'm sure anything I'm missing from my childhood will come to light in time. It may just be an abandonment issue which has its root from when I was 2yrs 3mths and my mum disappeared in the middle of the night to give birth to...

I read the whole of the thread started by Steve O. It includes a lot of conversation between Walt and Steve when Walt was on his journey. One thing that has worried me is that Walt felt he had identified an issue with his mother, and 'rationalised' her behaviour (which is something I believed...

Thanks, Walt. Yes, it was definitely good knowing there are other Christians out there who recognise TMS. I actually by chance ordered Don Colbert's book called 'The Bible Cure for Back Pain' and he recommended Dr Sarno's books for chronic pain, which is how I found out about TMS. It all sounded...

I discovered that most of my current stress is caused by extreme annoyance with, and sometimes feeling threatened by, certain colleagues I'm sitting with all day! Actually recognising and acknowledging this to myself has helped in at least beginning to take some measures to minimise the...

I came to a grinding halt a couple of weeks ago, as I was finding it difficult to journal successfully and didn't feel I was making any progress. I asked a question on the Ask a Therapist about whether my pain was really TMS, but didn't have a reply, which made me really despondent. Since...

Thanks so much for taking the time to reassure me, Emily. Poor you - my pain isn't at all acute, I've just had to live with it for so many years. Hopefully we'll both manage to shift the pain in the next few months. That would really be a miracle for me! Bless you. Sally

Ah, thanks for that. I'm doing the course on my tablet, but I'll open it on my laptop and see if that works :-) Thanks again!

Is it just me? I've been getting on fine with the program, although I'm finding it very difficult to write much at all about early experiences. I also couldn't get to grips with the meditation, but I've just found a post with a video clip for RR meditation, which I'll try. However, I stumbled...
