hi all, I wanted to give an update on how things have been going. at this point, I’ve been aware of TMS for about nine months now. in addition to having utilize this form, I had gone through the doctor Alan Gordon steps for addressing TMS and will periodically listen to a Dan Buglio video on...

Thank you again for the ongoing support and encouragement! I think you make an excellent point, the both of you, about not overthinking things in general. I remember when I first learned about TMS and personality type often associated with it, and was blown away about how much that describes my...

Hi all, Want to give a quick update on how I’ve been doing and also ask question. Well, my yardstick for how I think I’ve been doing has been my firewood production, and I have to say that I’ve been doing a lot better by leaps and bounds. I’ve been incredibly productive and I’ve been...

I wanted to share what I believe to be a small success. In my Last message, I mentioned that I had “thrown back out” Two days ago. This was the first occurrence of that specific strong spasm feeling since I started learning about TMS and working on those skills and mindset. As I’ve mentioned...

I wanted to give a quick update on my TMS journey here. Overall, I’ve noticed some steady improvement in my lower back pain. I have Push myself to do more and more physical activity, especially processing firewood and things like that and, while my back will feel pretty tight for a few hours...

Very good video. I definitely identify with that “ loop” thinking. There was a part about half way in the video where the guy was explaining what it’s like when he realizes that a loop thought is starting- “He said something like “I’m going to be looping on this for the next 2 weeks now- fuck!”...

Thank you! I appreciate the thoughts and recommendation. I listened to Healing back pain on tape. That’s where I identified that I’m a TMS personality through and through. I had been reviewing the Alan Gordon program after finishing it , but have been slacking for a few days. The health anxiety...

I have a “Is this TMS?” question. I’ve noticed overtime both of my shoulder/top of bicep part of arm area become quite sore at times when I’m doing exercise with them. I’m not talking about incredibly intense physical activity but like a reasonable exercise routine. . At one point, I noticed...

I want to give an update on how the TMS has been going. This may take on the form of journaling, so forgive me already if this goes a little long. I made it through the family vacation. It was about what I figured it would be. Nothing general stressful about it aside from all the travel...

I often get some pain in my right upper butt cheek/hip area. Been a bit better lately but wouldn’t you know it acting up during the travel/driving day today. Fitting bc this trip is going to be a pain the ass, lol

It’s very interesting the things that people get triggered by. You’d think that divorce, even if was a positive change would be the stressor but it wasn’t. I would have figured that the stress related to my father would have been the thing, but it appears that the thought of hanging...

Thank you! I especially like your ideas of not feeling pressure to improve quickly and especially not taking on others problems as your own. That will be a challenge with dealing with my father now. It will be fine line of caring greatly for the guy but also not adopting the consequences of...

Wanted to give an update on where I’m at in my TMS journey. I had decided to At least for now abandoned SEP. I was finding that I was not feeling much motivation at all to do the journaling and that stuff. That said, I did take a lot from the concepts that I think the SEP Was emphasizing and...

That is interesting indeed. Since I heard about TMS I’ve had a lot “ah ha” moments. Whilenthw back pain is the scary one for me I’ve noticed some weird things happen with the symptoms. The moving around, changing, and appearing when I think about the pain has happened. I’ve also become more...
