I purchased his program in 2014 which included the book (really a booklet) and some audio files. Immensely helpful but his message is pretty basic. Honestly every TMS “healing” message is pretty basic. Accept that it’s TMS, ignore the physical symptoms, look inside yourself (think...

Are you still looking for The Master Practice?

I run marathons and ultramarathons. About 67 so far...most of them ultras. Just completed a 100 miler a few weeks ago. My TMS has run the gamut of most "running injuries" plus back pain. Once I get over the fear and anxiety of pain it usually resolves fairly quickly. But eventually...

I really like Monte Huefle's point of view, that over-analyzing (which I've done too!) just feeds the TMS pain cycle. Tying yourself up into knots thinking about it doesn't help the situation. Here's a good quote from one of his recent email updates that has helped me: "Your roadblocks in...

I think you've answered the question for yourself right there.

I should add that it's a been a tough 2 weeks with a lot of stress. I'm in the final stretch of the busiest time of the year at work. And due to work schedules and other conflicts my husband and I have been "passing in the night" and barely seeing each other. His work has taken him out of...

Aaack...so the symptom imperative is working full force! Frustrating but in a way empowering too since it helps solidify in my mind that this really is TMS. Knee is pretty much under control. I still get a few twinges but since I'm not allowing the pain to distract me it dies right down after...

Walt--- I'll add those lines to my "song"! :)

Colly, Good for you for trying! That's a good step. But I totally understand wanting to hold off until the pain is less intense. Keep trying! I know you'll get there. For me it has been easier because my pain doesn't usually start right away. Today I had a pretty good run. I did a lot...

Sometime busy makes me more focused. But in general, busy makes me frazzled...especially when different areas of my life (work, home, etc.) are busy all at once. But that's a good point...being able to really focus on something else besides the pain can be helpful, I agree. And thank you...

Hope you had a good weekend Colly! I'd say I'm about 60-75% there. I've gotten to the point that I'm not fearing the pain, but it's still there. Trying to not let it bug me or attach any anxiety to it. Or let my fears or attachment to a particular healing timeline fuel any doubts that it's...

Colly I'm not sure I know exactly what gets me to take that first step. I guess I'm driven. I do know that the first time I had sciatica pain it took a long time for me to take the leap of faith. I think what gotten me out again after successive bouts is knowing that I always regretted the...

Walking the dogs is great exercise Walt! Keep it up. :) I will be 50 years old next month and hope to be active for a long, long time. I've been reading Dr. Marc Sopher's book and it's really speaking to me. He's a runner and his reasoning makes sense. People think that running (or similar)...

I went out on another run yesterday evening. Started out mostly pain free as before. I told myself if there's something wrong with my knee it should hurt from the get-go. Colly I thought a lot about you mentioning I've been conditioned to feel the pain after I've warmed up a few miles. I...

Colly your response made my day! :) Thank you! I don't know that I'm amazing or courageous but I know that in the past I've always regretted sitting on the couch rather then getting out and pushing through. But I absolutely understand the need to wait for your pain to subside before you take...
