Sorry to bump this thread back up, but I think it’s an interesting topic. @maxpower I think Baseball65 has some real sound advice, but if you truly feel it isn’t an option, Steve Ozanich(writer of The Great Pain Deception) had a similar discussion in a post years ago here. I found this part...

@Baseball65 I think this is a great approach more people should try. I noticed for myself that I kept saying all these things were "Ok" and "I should be grateful for what I have", but that wasn't acknowledging how I actually felt about those issues and I always avoided talking about them if I...

I'd love a copy of whatever you sent them if possible! I've had moments of improvements, but seem to slip back every couple weeks.

Hey Jan, Thank you for replying and for tagging a few of the coaches! You definitely make a very good point, I would in a way be running from things out of fear. It's so easy to slip back into the negative cycle in thinking my pain is real and I never want to be someone who doesn't practice...

Hey Team, I have experienced almost every TMS symptom you could think of. At my worse, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and had issues standing due to weakness in my muscles and fatigue. Upon reading Dr. Sarno's book, I had the confidence to start lifting and exercising again and all of my...

Hey Team, I want to first start off by saying that I have recovered from numerous TMS symptoms. I had tinnitus, blurred vision(for 7weeks), migraines for 19 years, fibromyalgia, RSI, knee pain and nerve pain in my feet and body. Some of this took awhile, but they all eventually went away with...

Yeah, I was surprised when he said, "Don't worry about journaling. There isn't a hidden emotion, this is fear. You need to stop fearing it". He made the problem seem simple and so I started to apologize and he replied, "No, it's fine. If I can help in anyway with a short call, I'll gladly do...

I definitely feel like my TMS is trying to teach me something, but I never know what. I feel having faith and not being negative about things is what I'm suppose to learn now, but it's quite difficult. I keep looking for reassurance and I find multiple things that are positive in my beliefs, but...

Hey Plum, Thank you for taking the time to respond to each of my sections. I really enjoyed the video you submitted and have read a lot of books on similar theories, but I guess it's always hard for me to stick with it and apply every day. I'll definitely work on it. It's also true that we don't...

Yeah, I guess there is no reason in comparing ourselves to others. Some people heal right away and others take years. I guess it's a matter of full acceptance. Thanks for the encouragement!

Hey Team, I've actually been on this site for awhile, but my other account has more positive posts, and I didn't want people to read this thread and feel discouraged, so I created a new account. All my life I was free of pain until last year. I went through all the pains you can think of...
