I haven't posted on here in awhile, but I came across Dr. Schechter's twitter feed today. He announced that Dr. Sarno passed away yesterday. We all owe a debt to the work of Sarno. He has helped thousands and thousands heal and take back their life. I hope that in his death, the many high...

Today's question: How does your personality lead you to repress emotions moment-by-moment? My low self esteem has caused me to put pressure on myself to be liked by others. I've known my best friends since kindergarten, and I still feel compelled to prove my worth to them. The same goes for...

Today's question is: once you graduate the SEP, what are you going to do to show yourself the care that you deserve? I will be designating Sundays as my self-care day. I won't be reading up on TMS, I won't be pre-occupied with other worries. Sunday will be a day set aside to enjoy life and be...

Unfortunately, it was just a quick reply he gave me. I'm happy to even get a response and to know that he pays attention to these things. I know he's a busy man and one of the most prominent TMS doctors. It seems like a lot of people have contacted the team and Kerr with TMS advice. Now, whether...

May I suggest a technique? When that pain comes on, thank it for reminding you to think about your current emotions. Try being nice to the pain. It goes against our natural reaction to pain, and can be helpful to re-program our mind. Since you've been helped using the TMS approach before, I'm...

I contacted Dr. Schechter. He said that he is aware of Kerr's issues, and has reached out to another TMS doctor in the Bay Area.

As I've posted previously, my sister is one of the biggest current stressors for me. I rent a house with my sister, her husband and 2 young daughters (with a boy on the way). The kids are loud, but that doesn't bother me very often. However, my sister's behavior and attitude bring back bad...

Today's journaling was about perfectionism. I honestly feel like that trait is not part of my personality. I definitely see myself more in the good-ism personality trait. And since I've written pretty extensively on my good-ism and its roots in my low self esteem, I've decided to discuss the...

Right on, Kylin! It's so important to face those fears that come from TMS. For me, I had grown accustom to sleeping a certain way to "help" my shoulder. Well, now that I know that there's nothing physically wrong, it doesn't make sense to "baby" my shoulder. In fact, when I choose to sleep that...

The last mistake I made was yesterday. My friend invited me to a car show and then to the amusement park. I really didn't want to go. I was going to be the third wheel. I didn't want to let him down, so I made up an excuse that I was too busy with a home improvement project. It wasn't true. I...
