I am glad she figured it out. I think she started performing a little bit.

Yep. Some years back, we had a discussion about Celine Dion. We unanimously concluded that she had TMS. No wonder, as her life was full of hardship and trauma.

It is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it might be helpful to those who doubt their physical symptoms of TMS. My latest blog post is written for those with CRPS (complex regional pain syndrome), but it equally applies to other conditions. Keep in mind that I deliberately don't use the acronym TMS...

The more bizarre your symptoms are, the more likely it is TMS.

Congratulations, Diana! Your muscles and joints are releasing the stress brought upon them by the distressed brain. It is very similar to my own experience as I was healing from CRPS. Patience, patience, patience, and more emotional work!

Advanced search for me! When I tested it on the testing site, I loved it at first sight and couldn't wait for the release of the new site! Thank you for your hard work, Forest! It looks nicer and is overall a more pleasant experience!

I wish you the best of luck!

I recovered a long time ago, and still doing just fine. I only had it for about 18 months before I got rid of it. I had a return of symptoms once, but briefly and intermittently. All gone now. You can read more on my profile page here.

Does anybody know a good TMS therapist who works with children, preferably in the US? This is for a 10-year-old girl with CRPS. Many thanks in advance!

Sounds about right. But next round of TMS adds another feeling: sense of humility.

There are multiple pathways. Some people find it helpful to talk to their fear or to the brain, some yell at it. Some desensitize their nervous system through slow push through the symptoms, use of visualization, meditation, exercise. Some use creative writing. Your goal is to convince...
