Welcome Ruma! I was in a similar situation as you- in pain, a daunting medical diagnosis and belief that I had done it to myself through improper lifting and my earlier athletic endevours. I was fourtanate to find Sarno and now i'm pain free and physically stronger than ever. No convincing...

I think the beauty in Sarno's book was he gave just enough details to succeed, but left some parts ambiguous so that you can write your own story. Reading some of the post's above about "relapsing" made me think about perhaps the most pivotal moment in my TMS journey: The Big Test I'll...

Hi Ania, So glad my post was able to give you some insight, and it sounds to me like your on the right path! Just be kind and gentle with yourself, even on the days where your flexibility seems lacking. Enjoy your stretching,and don't judge how far your going. Just be in the moment, breath and...

Hi Iwilldeadlift, Thanks for the kind words. Based on your username I'd say we had very similar goals when starting on the TMS journey. To answer some of your questions: Stretching- After reading the book I knew I had to become a competitive athlete again. Stretching was one of the first...

One of these days I'm going to visit his grave to pay my respect. TMS is a part of you and will never be "gone". It's important to remind yourself that TMS is not your enemy it is your friend.I would challenge the language you use with yourself- "relaspe" has a negative connotation, which...

I love this. I often use similar metaphors while training like "Lets go OAK" I think of myself as an Oak tree made from powerful wood :p. Keep up that great work and stay strong friend

Thanks Ash I appreciate that. My back was the biggest concern and source of negative emotion in my life for YEARS. Now, the only time i think about it is when i think about how lucky I was to go through this experience. Its completely shifted my perspective on life. Every time i think something...

I'm happy to report I'm 99.9% better at this point. My TMS is a complete non issue in my life now and something i rarely even think about , other than how incredible it was that the answer was in my mind the whole time. I found a video from the beginning of my TMS journey that i didn't think...

Continuing to make progress, recentley hit a 430lb deadlift: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bjal4HZgyOL/?taken-by=brandonbb2323 (brandon hall on Instagram: “First video is 405lbs second is 430lbs. Very happy after amediocre squat session. Couldn't do it without @jasonmanenkoff165 and his…”) I...

Theres no money in it:) Cost 13$ for a book on amazon vs potential hundreds of thousands in my lifetime to the medical industry. Its a very interesting point Jan that i think about too. I often wonder where this "mental virus" originated from and how it has such a strong hold over society...

Thanks man, 500lb deadlift is on the radar , hopefully within the next few years

I am grateful to report that last month, I competed in my first powerlifting competition. If you would of told me this would happen a year ago i would of laughed in your face and told you it is literally impossible I had minor back pain my entire adult life that always seemed to come and go for...
