I have LPR. A mind-body doctor explained to me that the sphincter is influenced psychologically: TMS causes relax it and not close properly.

Hi Sandpiper, thank you very much for your post!!! You helped me to better understand my situation . In my case it is also silent reflux. It startet in January, when I broke my hip joint. I was at home and made a lot of telephone conversations. So I thought, this gave me a sore throat. But now...

Hi Christie, I like your posts. They help me to better understand the whole picture. Thank you very much! I have a problem with oesophageal reflux beside back pain and IBS. Dr. Sarno wrote in "The Diveded Mind", that oesophageal reflux is also a TMS symptom. I think, all 3 symptoms are TMS. The...

Beside back pain and IBS I have oesophageal reflux. (Dr. Sarno "The Diveded Mind"). I think, all 3 symptoms are TMS. The oesophageal reflux has made an inflammation in my throat. So now there is something structural. How can I feel safe with this inflammation? I have pain in my throat and I...

Hi Alan, this is my third time, I'm reading your program and the comments. I like it very much. It is a great help for me!!! Every time I get some new insight - and some times questions. I have understood me feeling unsafe, my mind producing fear thoughts because it wants me to be alert...

During the last days I have read the lessons again. In the end I had a good feeling: I have understood the program, I took it in and have the feeling, that it will help me to recover. My last question I answered myself, so I want to share with you my answer. The Program tells us: (1) Brain is...

You expressed my thougths so well! I want underline all your words. I am grateful from the bottom of my heart to all of you!!!

This is an extrem important post for me. The clip of Maya shows very compelling the conditioned response to eating. Now I can grasp my conditioned response to eating too. Even though my response is not the same as Mayas, it is the first time, I can really imagine, my pain is not structurally...

Thank you LEW for your quick answer. Yes, IBS is a form of TMS. And - I have heard of "Calming Essence." They write, it helps to put the mind on ease. In my case - I take some drops ("Iberogast", its German, drops from some herbs) and some pills. They help to reduce the symptoms, but only a...

Oh please do not ignore the pain, see "Day 9 - Somatic tracking": Alan writes: "By attending to these physical symptoms mindfully – without fear, without judgment, and without motive – we’re communicating to our brains that we’re not in danger....By doing this, you’re literally developing the...

Maybe "Waiting for change" is the crux? I remember my first attemps to run (after having endless years of backpain): it hurt, but I felt empowerment: I was so happy to dare to run. After three runs my pain shifted in another place - and again I was so happy - it was the proof of TMS. But now I...
