I wonder what self compassion looks like for you? I’ve been thinking about this for me as it is something that is certainly not natural. I’ve decided for me it is perhaps trying to start my next project at 50% excepting that that is okay. I’ve tried today to spend a little bit of money on...

If it helps, most people around me don’t really get my pain, they try but it’s tough to understand if you don’t live with the reality of TMS I reckon. People on here have been so amazingly kind and understanding and wise so maybe stick with this as your source of support.

Oh my goodness, it felt like I was reading about myself! I was cured about 7 years ago of severe back pain via John Sarnos book and this forum. Recently I’ve had to resign from work following severe chest pain and arm numbness, pain, dizziness, tingling in joints, fatigue etc, just getting worse...

CAn anyone share wisdom or teaching I can access on this issue? I am able to use somatic tracking so effectively, crazily effectively actually, to manage my previous pain, but the fatigue isn’t budging. If anything it’s increasing. Do I plough through it and just do stuff, as currently even...

Thank you so much for encouraging me! So good to know it’s normal! After just a morning of listening to podcasts from Alan G and alon Z my symptoms are hugely reduced. What is left is very severe exhaustion. Can I apply same principles to this symptom? QUOTE="Ellen, post: 138855, member...

Oh wow, I so get where you are at. You answer so many of your own questions. Can I suggest you have so much going on, try, if at all possible, to just stop for a few minutes and ask yourself what a bit of compassion and love of yourself might look like. I learnt this from Alan G podcast and it’s...

Hi, I’ve had many similar symptoms and this morning was listening to Alan G and alon Z on their podcast which I found so helpful. I don’t think I’ve ever stopped to think about what compassion to myself might look like. I’m so driven and throw myself into things. I’m trying to watch my pain now...

Hello, I don’t have any great advice apart from saying it’s important that as a problem solver yourself, have you managed self compassion? It’s what I was listening to from Alan G this morning. I keep launching back into projects and throwing myself in 110%, but forget that self love needs to...

Having been completely healed and helped on this forum many years ago from backpain, which had me off work for six months. I am now off work again with arm pain, numbness, chest pain, dizziness, leg numbness, etc. I finally remembered to look up this forum again and started the videos again and...

Hi everyone, thanks for your honesty. I'm back for a second time. First time chronic back pain, John Sarno's book healed me 85% just by readin it- amazing. Three years on, I have gastritis, struggling to eat, doctors are baffled... So I reckon it must be TMS again. Someone said to me that this...

Thanks for your comments. So hard to find anyone who understands what I’m talking about around me, and the comment of ‘so its in your head’ is something I find really hard to hear. I appreciate your input and am working on telling myself the pain is not harmful and I can feel safe, and not fear...

Hi, I was a regular on this site 3 years ago when I had chronic back pain that sorted so quickly once I accepted I had TMS. For no apparent reason ( life seemingly relatively ok, I thought), I started getting severe stomach pain 3 months ago. Doctors see I have severe red stomach from an...
