I feel a change coming and that's exciting. But scary. Already I am getting anxious. These are not difficult concepts to understand, but very hard for me to internalize and then implement. When I was a kid my dad's nickname for me was "little shit". I think I've felt like a piece of shit my...

Thanks again, this is an interesting article. I like the idea of simply uncovering the emotions and moving on. I don't really want to relive them. I read this morning that: ●Recognizing, ●Acknowledging, ●Confronting, ●and Accepting my suppressed emotions and "my hidden emotions about my...

Appreciate your input Walt, thanks. It is as if anticipating pain is enough to start the pain cycle/process going. I was sure that I hadn't hurt my back because I hit the ground on my hands and arm and sort of rolled over practically back on my feet. But my brain, anticipating pain, definitely...

Another great and interesting day. A rough patch this morning provided me with some more insight into this new adventure called healing from TMS. I was fortunate enough to be able to spend a couple hours this afternoon reading the Mind-body Prescription. I had previously only read Healing Back...

I'm happy to report that I am really almost pain free. I just started on Friday last week reading Dr Sarno's book. I'm planning on going through the course and being free. This is the most hope I've felt for a while. Thank you.

Today's recommended reading of Dr. Schubiner's blog posts is encouraging and more confirmation that I am starting to 'get it'. Dr. Schubiner writes: "The emotions that tend to have the largest effect on us are precisely those that we are unaware of." I think these emotions are possibly some...

Thanks Walt, that's a good point. Putting it behind me is something I've been trying to do for a while. It's easier said than done. Making a list of the good stuff should be quick and easy. Haha, just joking! Anyway, I will put some thought into it. Thanks again.

Thanks Mr.Dragonfly. I needed that reminder. I will work on progressing in self-acceptance. That is particularly difficult for me. My identity has been essentially shame based. Self love and self care are sometimes (not always) challenging for me. I appreciate your input.

Thanks Andy. It seems there is a lot going on beneath the surface that I have been either unwilling to acknowledge or unaware of. It occurs to me that I have this idea of myself or self-image that requires I have only certain self prescribed feelings or emotions. It's as though violating that...

The suggestion in today's reading is for me gonna be a no-brainer. I have lived with a victim mentality for so long that making a list of past traumatic events and experinces in second nature for me. Through the years they have become my excuse for all my bad behavior. "Well, if this or that...

Thank you Sir for your reply. It's encouraging to know that I am on the right track and will hopefully be progressing. I have already experienced some success returning to my normal physical activity by simply using Dr. Sarno's twelve affirmations. It was amazing to do what I love to do...

I want to touch on emotions but first a a little background on my pain symptoms. I've struggled with depression for as long as I can remember. I suffered from migrate headaches in my twentys. (I'm 58 now.)Eventually they stopped as I began a serious drug habit. After I got clean & sober, I was...
