    Day 33 Positive changes (but...)

    Hi Andy Thank you very much for your time and support. This is great to read. We as perfectionists definitely want to nail everything as soon as possible and we work hard and want to see results coming from this effort. It takes time to understand that the result is not not having your pain...

    Day 33 Positive changes (but...)

    This doesn't seem the good day to write about positive changes but I am doing that exactly coz it's a hard day. Since I started the program I: - got rid of all my sitting cushions - have been tapering off narcotics (halfway now to stopping them completely) - have been sitting much more than...

    Not able to be indifferent

    I don't know how to thank you!! I had seen the video with Alan Gordon but I didn't know the other videos. And I already have Insight timer and I use it to meditate but there are so many resources that if you don't have a precise indication you may get a bit lost! I will look for Danny Morris...

    Not able to be indifferent

    Hi Cactusflower Thank you! You are right, I need to reduce fear first and probably the rest will come without "trying" so hard...

    To give you hope

    Hi Ryan Thanks for bringing this thread up. I started my TMS journey one month ago and I still have a long way to go but I am hopeful and your videos really made my day ❤️ I cried listening to your honest and encouraging words, we are all the same, so organized so in control so afraid of other...

    Day 19 Things I am proud of

    I made most practical progress in the first 7/10 days. Resumed physical activity, got rid of sitting cushions, started sitting for long periods, tried driving, started reducing opioids, resumed meeting friends with joy. Then I got to a sort of plateau when it seemed I made no more progress, pain...

    Help needed - confused and overwhelmed

    Hi Cactusflower, thank you! I have taken a break over the weekend from the wiki program and only did what I felt like. I meditated a couple of times, I finished Sarno's book (will start Alan Gordon's next!) and explored my emotions - I uncovered some childhood situations that still have an...

    Help needed - confused and overwhelmed

    Hello from Italy! I am looking for some support and advice here because I feel a bit confused and lost. Probably many of you have gone through this so I thought it was worth trying. Quick background: 1.5 year of pelvic pain, under opiods, tried everything, nothing worked. I read Healing Back...

    How to stop PT

    Thank you Ann! I just read your recovery story on your site, it's so inspiring! And you are right, I will talk to him and decide what to do according to his reaction and opinion. I definitely won't be willing to jeopardize my TMS journey, as it is the only treatment that has given me hope and...
