I'd originally put quotation marks around mysterious to indicate that it was a bit of a joke - indeed, it'd make a lot of sense! I do feel that figuring I won't get better until I've fully changed my physical context (made enough money to move, etc etc) is a bit of a gamble though if there is...

Two years on, mostly updating because I have to believe I'll get out of it someday - but I am still, mostly, in it. I definitely catastrophise less and am less fixated (comes and goes in bursts now). But symptoms still here for sure. I guessss maybe less intense but honestly I've possibly just...

I'm sorry not to be able to give personal recovery data as I'm still on the road. I don't post much here anymore as I don't really know what I'd be looking for from users But just wanted to say: I have myself exchanged emails with Howard Schubiner, who told me directly that this label is TMS. In...

SO happy to hear this for you. First time back here in ages and saw this. <3

Old post to resurrect, but just wanted to say thank you for the STOP therapy idea and I'm definitely going to try it out. I've done the STOP part before myself but never the task-switching with it. Could be useful to help pay less attention to benign sensations!

Had a bit of a (depressing? Not sure) a-ha on a call with my TMS coach the other day where I expressed disappointment that things still felt the same, if not a bit worse, with that usual refrain of "why is nothing changing? I'm doing all the right stuff"... But then of course I realized... I'm...

Have you ever written a post on the circle method before? It sounds interesting, I'd like to learn more.

I think it's good to have users here with differing views; they're only as incompatible as you believe them to be tbh, once they're all in the mindbody space. Dan Buglio loves Sarno, preaches him all the time, is a staunch recommender of his books... He just thinks that it doesn't have to be...

Agreed, at least insofar as conscious emotions go. I'm wondering sometimes though whether or not the "hidden rage" I feel is towards the things I feel guilt/shame for. This is something I've only been considering since @Baseball65 posted here yesterday... Like basically, my shame and guilt are...

This is fair, and interesting to hear of your success rates. I'm someone who's been aware of TMS stuff for probably 6 years now but have been dealing with this specific symptom for just over 2, so the idea of that rapid release/recovery is obviously super appealing. But so far haven't managed...

(I realise as I've written this, this is more broadly a reply to the earlier PRT discussion than to you personally, so sorry if it feels disjointed lol.) Yeah, I appreciate this as a problem. It is annoying and it does suck but I would fall on a similar position to Ellen where sometimes, the...

Nicole Sachs' Journalspeak is a pretty good example. She's got a podcast and a website, and was a patient of Sarno herself who journalled under his direction.

Different tools work for different people IMO. If you feel a strong pull to it, give some of its techniques a go (with an attitude of lightness, etc. Don't TMS about TMS!) and see how you find it. Everything in the space has its proponents and detractors, from journalling to meditation to...

PRT is the technique coined and used by Alan Gordon, Howard Schubiner and related practitioners yeah. It's a less emotionally focused (though not exclusively; Schubiner explicitly uses expressive writing in his work like Sarno discussed) POV on TMS which focuses on pain being a learned habit...

I took your suggestion and journalled a little on this (and broadly about doubts) this morning, thank you.
