Hi all. I wanted to share my success and ongoing work with TMS because it has been incredibly helpful and kind of given me my life back. It’s pushed me to address not just physical symptoms but a lot of other things in my life that I needed to address. I am sort of a work-in-progress but I've...

Hodini - Thanks for the response. Your "not fitting in" point definitely resonates. I guess it's hard to acknowledge because it seems kind of silly, but it's true. In terms of the program, I am not worried about it being cultish or otherwise nefarious. It's based on Mindfulness Based Stress...

Thanks for the reply Ellen, I appreciate it. I also agree with not looking at the side-effects. Something I plan to do in the future!
