    Day 5 Allowing anger and gentleness towards myself

    Everything I have learned about TMS resonates deeply with my own experience. Over the past three weeks, I have not only been learning what TMS means, but also exploring different ways of working with it and relating to it. I have started this program – and even in this relatively short period...

    Day 11 Day 11

    Thank you very much for this insightful conversation. It helps me understand how we approach interpreting TMS symptoms while being guided by the need to rule out structural damage. And although all these tests are helpful tools, they are also part of the medical system and can fuel our fears...

    Day 3 Insights after a severe migraine attack - still on day 3

    I spent the entire morning working on my list of traumatic experiences. Shortly after lunch, I lay down and slept for about an hour. After I woke up, I suffered a severe migraine attack that nearly sent me to the emergency room. Armed with my understanding of TMS, I approached the attack—one...

    Day 3 Traumatic events & experiences in the past - back to Day 3

    The Day 3 assignment drew me in once again. To this day, after six decades, I have never made a list of my traumatic and painful experiences. The list isn’t complete, but it’s enough to acknowledge it and tell myself: “That happened, and it’s over. You, my dear brain, have a hundred reasons to...

    Day 1 My TMS journey begins

    I can really relate to what you’re saying. There’s a ton of information out there about TMS, as well as a ton of personal experience reports. Like you, I find it very inspiring to listen to others. But I’ve also come to understand that this program is simply about letting myself go each day...

    Day 5 After the exercise of day 5 I’ve repeatedly felt a strong urge in my body to take a deep breath

    Thank you, Ellen, for your words. YES, that’s my impression too—I’ve never felt these emotions like this before. I only discovered TMS about ten days ago. Since then, my body has become softer and more flexible, and even the intense feelings touched upon during the exercise land on soft...

    Day 5 After the exercise of day 5 I’ve repeatedly felt a strong urge in my body to take a deep breath

    On the spur of the moment, I decided to write down the following sentence: When I was eight years old, my mother attempted to take her own life by taking pills, and I found her already unconscious. She survived the attempt because I called the police. Over the decades, I’ve occasionally told...

    It’s amazing what the process we’re going through reveals to us. Your insights sound very profound to me. It’s only by becoming aware of these phenomena that we can start acting differently. I congratulate you on continuing this process and gaining further insights. It’s comforting to know that...

    Day 3 Overcoming a Fear

    Since my last flare-up of pain, which has now lasted five months, I’ve barely gotten any exercise outdoors. After reading a personal success story, I decided to go on a two-hour hike (uphill and downhill) because I realized that while my arms, hands, and shoulders were in pain, my legs were not...
