I had this exact thing. Raynauds/EM-like color changes and blood pooling from heat. Take my word for it and just ignore it, get back to your life. It got better for me when I stopped focusing on it, it took a while though. This sort of vascular response to heat/cold is normal to some extent...

This one isn't about mindbody healing but I was really moved and inspired by it nonetheless - Adrift: Seventy-six Days Lost At Sea by Steve Callahan. He was sailing solo across the Atlantic when his boat sunk in a storm, he drifted for 76 days on a tiny inflatable raft, spearing fish, overcoming...

Yeah see this is exactly the kind of scenario that always led me to question the unconscious rage-as-sole-source-of-symptoms theory. I also had a terrible boss once, that shit will infect you. Dread going to work, always on edge at the office, spending time off ruminating on it, thinking of all...

I never said this forum is here to discuss general approaches to psychosomatic symptoms (though frankly I don't see why not? Sarno devoted portions of his books to discussing past contributions to psychosomatic medicine, which he then built his framework upon), I am suggesting that TMS/PPD has...

Hey thanks @tag24 And @Booble, I don't think I need to justify my presence on a TMS/Sarno forum when I am in fact here discussing TMS/Sarno and the ways in which subsequent practitioners have updated/modified/deviated from his framework (I think thats literally the topic of this thread). I'm...

Yes but I personally don't believe it needs to be unconscious rage. I think conscious emotions/stressors/events are more than capable of producing symptoms too. Thats where Buglio differs.

I could type out a novel on this subject here, but the single most helpful thing for me, in the last 2+ years that I've been dealing with my current symptoms, was simplifying it down to bare bones a la Dan Buglio, returning to full rigorous activity, finding things to focus attention away from...

I've always thought guilt, and shame, are far more damaging than rage.

on what authority is this person telling you this? the experts on this condition don't even understand its pathogenesis, yet this guy does?

OP you should email Schubiner directly and see what he thinks about that comment. He's not the fastest responder but he does seem to respond to anyone who emails him. Maybe he has worked with serious trauma patients and has insight on mindbody applications in those cases. Maybe there are studies...

Well it was Schubiner himself who suggested I had a fear of medication, that was over a year ago, so I'm certain he'd dismiss this as more tricks. Pretty much all my increases in symptoms over the years occured after taking some medication, which may have been a valid explanation the first time...

Thanks for those screenshots tag, thats honestly first time i've seen anyone explicitly say they got better via tms route, so thats good. I've been a little bummed lately, a few weeks ago the neuropathic burning/tingling/itching accompanying flares in my feet ratcheted up significantly...

Hey tag, remarkable how similar our experience and thought processes are. The oscillation back and forth between mindbody/structural explanations has preoccupied my mind as well over the last 2 years, though I have had stretches of not caring much either way. The dearth of mindbody success...

@HealingMe I must admit I haven't begun applying TMS techniques to this yet. I subscribe to Dan Buglio's perceived danger theory, which emphasizes finding safety and living life, instead of focusing on emotional work. I've never found 'TMS work' to be helpful. I can say that the first week the...

Well my saga continues. A couple weeks ago I developed tinnitus in my right ear, it seems to be unusual in that the ringing oscillates between 2 frequencies (WEEeeoooOEEEoooEEEOoEEooEEEEEoo), like a malfunctioning siren. I noticed it the day after I had been playing guitar, I was sitting close...
