    Steven Ozanich TMS and Pop Culture

    For anyone who felt or feels abandoned, especially by a parent when they were a child, I saw a wonderful episode about it in the tv series "Wings" from season 2, episode 20 called "Mother Wore Stripes." Airline owners Timothy Daly and Steven Weber were abandoned by their mother when they were...

    Exercise and the TMS personality

    Hi, srton. It looks like you're doing a good job of discovering who you are and how to live by accepting your feelings. Just be yourself. Do whatever exercise you can. I've noticed that very few people who exercise or run look like they're enjoying it. There are some good exercise videos on...

    Video Missing, Day 38,

    Sorry about that. Just go back over any previous Alan Gordon link or spend some time meditating.

    Day 4 - Disheartening advice

    Hi, Lou. That doctor ought not to be practicing medicine. He/she gave you a conditioned reflex toward sitting. Thank heaven you are disregarding the doctor's stupid advice that you will never heal from arthritis in your back. You may have that, but Dr. Sarno says it does not create pain. The...

    Day 10. Journaling and Guilt

    Hi, Cricket313. You really should stop feeling guilty about your anger toward your mother for that long-ago trauma. She probably had no idea how the tot train ride would affect you. You need to forgive her. I remember many instances when I was angry at my mother, but have put it into...

    No Co-incidence

    Hi, Livinginhope. That doctor charging $600 an hour and refuses insurance ought to double his rate if he expects to buy his second, or third white Cadillac. I would do what you decided, heal on my own with TMS. I'm 86 and was reluctant to lift some stuff from my kitchen into my garage this...

    Audio Podcast: Back pain, Dr. Sarno and the Power of Breath (Yogi Leslie Kaminoff)

    Hi, elue. I don't practice total yoga, but do like the breathing exercises. Especially the 4-7-8 and also alternate nostril breathing (there are some videos on how to do that on Youtube.) Deep breathing seems to be at the core of all yoga and TMS healing.

    Audio Podcast: TMS and parenting (with Dr. David Clarke)

    Hi, John. Thanks for sharing this post on parenting. Dr. Clarke is an excellent source for advice on the subject. Looking forward to his next episodes.

    TMS and Costochondritis

    Hi. You might have a doctor look at you to be sure you didn't damage yourself. But you could wait to do that until you do some more TMS healing techniques. You may just have over-done the gym work. Maybe return to it more lightly.

    BREAKING NEWS : Glucosamine supplements don’t help knee or hip arthritis pain

    Hi, Tennis Tom. Glucosamine supplements didn't help me, either. Web sites say the same. TMS is the answer. Has anyone found any pain-killer supplement that works? I doubt it or it would be generally known. I've been taking CBD oil to test it, but so far I can't say it does any good for pain or...

    New Program Day 17 Overcoming Emotional Repression

    Hi, Don'tStopBelieving. I think most of us experience feelings of not being wanted when people are late in arriving at appointments with us. I wouldn't take it personal. Everyone is so busy these days, and wrapped up in themselves and their own lives. I hate late-comers, too, but spend the time...

    Day 3

    Hi, PattiAnn2763. Congratulations on your TMS healing progress. Those long walks are terrific morale boosters. Be sure to practice deep breathing on the walks. Did you read my Mindfulness Meditation post in the Support Subforum on Monday? You might find it helpful.

    Day 33

    Hi, JayTeeDee. It's great to know that you are healing. Being more patient with yourself, more forgiving and compassionate are giant-step achievements in TMS healing. Even better that you are dealing better with triggers that set off memories of repressed emotions. Keep up the great work and...
