My heavens, so helpful to see this is a thing. I have been thinking I was crazy! I often semi-wake early feeling like I am at war. I'm too groggy to get myself up, so I lay there and my brain just stews and takes me into catastrophizing. Recently, it has also been accompanied by an upset...

Thanks to you both for the comments. Sometimes a little reinforcement helps the most. I have read all of Dr. Sarno's books, plus the Great Pain Deception, and Zero Pain Now. I've gone through Alan's course twice (I actually have had almost the same exact list of symptoms he had), and am almost...

Hi all, I have symptoms around my treatment site (ear ringing, TMJ popping, and odd nerve sensations) that I believe to be TMS (all my testing has been good for the past couple of years and doctors say very low risk of other issues). Anybody have experience with convincing your brain to let go...

Wow, I never thought about dialoguing with the exact body part.

Hi Jay, that's a great first post. You are on the right track. I'm about three weeks ahead of you but have already seen some progress. Keep going. Your life changes make TMS make total sense. You are clearly a super responsible guy who wants to do the right thing by your family. I think the...

Great update. Keep up the good work. I hear you on the fears. I have had foot pain and spent part of this weekend just standing on hardwood floors! What meditation works for you? I have had trouble finding a good one. Congrats on all your progress!

Hi all, Three weeks into my TMS journey. Seeing some progress. Just before I started I had a big barrage of blood testing done because I had so many weird symptoms, and it came back this week saying I have two viruses and a bacterial infection and my immune system tested a little low. Dr is...

Thank you, this is super helpful!

Celayne, thank you so much! I was thinking about them. It is a bit of an investment, but I figured they are probably the most specialized and might have the best expertise. You have had a good experience and felt like it has been worth it? I might have to set a limit on how many sessions I can...

Hi all, I can't find a TMS therapist closer than 3-4 hours from me, so I figure I will need to use Skype or Facetime. I have good insurance but it sounds like once you go outside your home state it doesn't work? Anyone have recommendations?

I did some exercise yesterday for the first time in months. I am very conditioned that I will hurt myself every time I exercise or do any stretches, so I often get a flare up after every time I do anything physical. Strangely (or not so strangely) if I am just kind of active with my family I...
