Thank you, Balto! I had looked everywhere, but you have found it! I sincerely appreciate this and am bookmarking the page -- can't wait to study this highly cited account! Thanks again, Thaxter

Hello everyone, I'm enjoying reading the TMS wiki on RSI injury, as I'm currently working on this myself. I keep encountering a mysterious "Nate" and his remarkable RSI story. It's frustrating, because so many people link to Nate. However, all the links connecting to Nate's story are dead. Were...

I really enjoyed hearing this and have never heard of the author. I just checked out his book on amazon--looks like something I would enjoy. I felt that much of what he said hear made sense and helped me to visualize how repetition of new ways of thinking can break the pain signals. Listening to...

Hello all, I have seen several references to a webpage that was called Conquer RSI composed by Nate McNamara. In trying to access this, all the links are dead. I'm interested in reading it because it seems to have helped a lot of people. Is this information archived somewhere on the site...

I agree. In doing this program, the journaling is making me think more about my emotions. And that has a healing effect, even when I'm not journaling. I'm surprised by the effect so far. I am more accepting and know that bad days will pass. Writing in a journal forces me to commune with myself...

Hi Walt, You're right, I am a perfectionist. At my new job, I have had to accept that as I learn, I am only a mediocre student, at the C level. That's hard, because I was always an A student. Not any more! I'm sorry about your current assignment with this author who is so difficult. I don't...

Your story is very encouraging and moving. It's amazing how quickly Dr. Sarno's ideas can effect positive results! I had a similar experience last December -- my pain disappeared in a matter of days after reading his book. But, because I didn't do the emotional work, it came back. That's why I'm...

Mine sure does. First it was my back. Thought I had cured that in December reading Dr. Sarno. Then it was my right hand and wrist. A few days later, my LEFT hand and arm and shoulder. Then today, it traveled back to my lower back. My body sure likes to keep me on my toes! But it's my emotions...

Congratulations! -- your story really encourages me. I believe in taking it one day at a time -- sometimes one hour at a time, when I am in pain or feeling overwhelmed with negative emotions. I realized some time ago that if I am patient and accept myself just as I am at, in the now, and realize...

It's day 8, and I'm doing better, but I did suffer a setback today. Lots of stress surrounding my job. I did so well throughout the day. I tracked my time and stayed within budget and was able to make good progress. Despite all that, I felt some back pain at the end of the day. I think it's...

Thank you, Gigi, and Happy Easter! I do not have the cats -- my neighbor does. She is usually gone during the day, which is when the birds feed . . . and on the weekends, the birds stay clear while her cats are outside. I worry about it, of course, but there is a big growing family of birds in...

Thank you, Walt! I confess I missed day 5. I'm going to work on Day 5 and day 6 today since I have the day off. My hands are better and that shoulder pain is gone. I know something else will pop up if I don't do the work and besides, I feel that doing the work will help me move forward, as I...
