I did the structured program on this wiki to begin with and after I finished that program and still experiencing TMS pain, I dove into Unlearn Your Pain which was more indepth and requires more time commitment. But it was worth every minute. Never give up!
Hi rsiman! TMS doctors and coaches all charge different prices. Don't give up on the tms relief if Sarno's book didn't work for you. I found that I took the things that made sense for me and left the rest. Its all about building awareness and anyway you can do that and start reframing the pain...
ps - it took me about 8 months to get solid relief from TMS - Everyone is different and part of the process is start dropping the attachment to the outcome. Again - that is pretty difficult when you're in pain!! But start noticing every moment - even if it is just a moment that you're not in...
Hello Matt! I'm not going to address you as TMS Matt - because that identity is ON ITS WAY OUT!! Your post reminded me of myself as I diligently did everything and more that was suggested. And you know what - I was impatient - Who wouldn't be when you're in screaming pain?!! But I'm here to tell...
Adventureseeker... Enthusiasm is KEY! I can second Walt's feedback that you're making progress. I have been saved by the TMS recovery work and in the end it has made me a more conscious and aware individual. Sometimes I get grouchy when I have a pain relapse but I still seem to need the TMS to...
Hi Freeange... I don't really have the answer because I have had to deal with this also. I found that Schubiner's program and Claire Weeks really really really really helped me. I was completely recovered from TMS but find when stressful situations come up, I'll get some relapsing pain. I often...
Thanks for your sharing Miss Metta... I'm sorry you lost your pet - its always so hard to lose them!! I commend your efforts to not drink through the pain - both emotional and physical. My uncle just died and I ended up having a bit of a relapse with the tms which is why I came back to the site...
I think it completely depends on the individual. I have friends who can drink coffee all day long and not be affected. For me, I have to limit myself to one cup a day or I'm a nervous uptight wreck! But as you learn more about TMS - you'll get to know your body and sensitivities on a deeper...
Love seeing the stats on the TMS Wiki success. I loved the info on the trolls - it helps me be aware of my own reactions when inflammatory stuff gets thrown out there... I guess its the same as bullying... anonymity can bring out the worst in people!
wow - wonderful progress already 'readyforjoy'!!! This forum is so full of resources, love and support. It was at least 50% responsible for my healing and all the internal changes that happened. Keep on keeping on READYFORJOY! What a great name!!dancea
Hi Kalo! I can totally relate to wanting the mindfulness to work right away!! Especially when there is pain! Becoming aware of the inner dialogue is huge in TMS healing. Before I started my recovery, I thought I was a pretty aware person. But after doing the SEP and then Dr. Shubiner's program...
