I don’t think any part of TMS is silly, but l do find it quite hard to wrap my heads around the fact that l can heal myself. I have seen many doctors, psychiatrists, and other “health care people” (acupuncturist, chiropractors, naturopaths, and psychologists) who haven’t really done much of...

Since starting this program, l have noticed that l am more forgiving of people who l had come into contact with in the past and that l am less judgemental of others in my life and those people who l come into contact with daily. I have come to the realization that we are all on this journey...

I am writing again as part of the daily program but more so because l want to and like to stay in contact with others in the same or similar position that l am in and anyone else who is/or has suffered from chronic pain. I have found all the success stories very inspiring and l really admire...

I am having difficulty wrapping my head around TMS, but l do think that l am making progress. It is so different from how l have lead my life, but that doesn’t mean that l won’t be successful. If there is someone out there who also had a bit of trouble getting started and possibly still is...

I am working on the program, and l was encouraged to make a submission on what l find most helpful with this program. So here l go. I find journaling very helpful. I enjoy writing to and about people who were and are significant in my life. I get the opportunity to “spill my guts”; something...

I am also a procrastinator. I am fearful of doing things that l know have to be done because l assume l know the results before l do them…if l do. I have no idea what the results are but l always assume the worse when l should be assuming the opposite. It is a terrible position to be in but...

In the program, we are asked to contribute what we are proud of so far in the program. I am very proud of myself for the journaling that l have done. I have expressed thoughts that l never thought that l would or even knew that l had. I have spoken to people while journaling who l perceived...

Thanks, Cactusflower. I will look into Dr. Scubiner’s workbook. Mrpine

I was encouraged in the lessons to post what is most prevalent in my journaling…there are two things which stand out. Firstly is my anxiety. I am a very anxious person and have been most of my life. It has now almost, and l repeat almost, taken over but l am in the process of getting it more...

Thanks, Jan. Every post that l read gives me a strategy to use and l really, really appreciate that. Yours are very inspiring as are the others. Thanks, all. Stay well and l’ll keep this threat posted about how my journey is going. Very happy to have met you. Mrpine

Thanks, hecate105. Will look into it. Stay well. Mrpine

Hi…l suffer from anxiety which has also developed into depression. Can TMS help me with this. I’ve been reading Dr. Sarno’s books and other literature on TMS. There isn’t a lot written on this topic unless I haven’t found the appropriate author so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thank you, Jan, for the welcome and the excellent suggestions as to how to progress. I’m in it for the long haul as my family needs their father and grandpa and my wife needs her husband at or near full strength. I will post occasionally and will beat this awful feeling as l get more familiar...

Thank you very much, Cactusflower, for your response. I have read one of Dr. Sarno’s books and am in the process of reading a couple more by other people who are proponents of Dr. Sarno’s work. I will check out the links that you sent me. Thanks again. Mrpine.
