Long time no see! (the title means "long time no see" in Korean :) ) I used to be a little active on this forum since last Summer, but from last October or so I became extremely busy with my job... so I couldn't think of visiting here just for a second. I had numerous help and support from...

Hi Peggy, good to hear such great story! I have a similar story: my major TMS pain is around my butt, hip joint, and low back area. I have recently took away the soft cushions I had used in my work place and in the subway when commuting. The pain was sometimes so strong that I thought of having...

It is, Blake! Well, there still can be bumpy roads ahead time to time, because TMS is such a wicked witch that keeps trying to poke you when you are mindless. I remember you and I shared many feelings and ideas during the TMS healing process, so this success story means a lot to me. I'm still...

I've been pretty busy with work and other things in my life these days, mostly away from SEP. But I didn't forget journaling when my symptoms are really bad particularly. While I was away from SEP, I kept using TMS healing techniques on my mind. I first tried to enjoy and be happy with my life...

Q. Have you been overly critical of yourself lately? How and why have you done this? Oh I have been soooo much critical of myself... even lately while I'm applying TMS healing techniques! I've seen all three major types of abuses specified in the Alan Gordon's TMS Recovery Program: criticism...

Hi Shanshu, I read your success story post and then came here. It's pretty encouraging to read your story that you recovered with outcome independence. It seems you had big anxiety with the joint sound. I do too!!! My wrist makes popping sounds--when the clicking/popping happens, there is no...

Q. Are you having success at recognizing the emotions connected to your pain? If you have, how do these emotions make you feel? If not, what do you think is preventing you from doing this? I recently found that fear of symptoms or just fear in general is connected to soreness and...
