I still can't convince myself totally that my pain is TMS. I do have the move around pain, intensity when stressed, clear imaging etc so my logical brain knows its more likely TMS but my emotional brain or subconscious doesn't want to fully accept it yet hence why I still have pain. I seem to...

Maybe I am fixating on my marital issues thinking that is the cause. I'm sure has a lot to do with it. I don't feel unsafe, just a long time marriage where we have grown apart and trying to find our way back but we have become more roommates than partners and that really bothers me. I have tried...

Seems like my symptoms are getting worse the more I look into this program. Am I reinforcing the fear by reading and learning? I'll keep at it but so far I'm discouraged. My health fear and anxiety I feel is keeping this pain active for sure. Not sure how to get out of that loop. I give myself...

Thank you for your response. I'm on day 4 so just made my lists. I feel my biggest stressor is my marital relationship but I feel I have journaled, written letters to death yet I'm still experiencing pain. Maybe I'm focusing on the wrong stressor but how do you know? Just keep doing the program?

I have posted in other threads about my abdominal pain but after someone suggested I do this structured program I will post this. I have suffered with right side abdominal pain, some digestive issues, heartburn, bloating, gas for the last few years since I retired. There always seems to be a...

Which one of the programs would you suggest?

I’m struggling with why you get pain sensations and how often and do they come out of the blue? I’m been experiencing abdominal pressure the last few days and I can’t pinpoint any particular stressors at the present. For once things seem fine in my life yet here I am. Does anyone pain just show...

Very true I feel even for me. I try and relax and think I am but my blood pressure readings tell me I’m not even close. I’m hoping this flare is just anxiety about my trip and once I’m there I’ll hopefully relax. Good luck to you

Thank you, yes the "fixing" is in my DNA for sure. I do think I'm trying to fix my pain and in doing that trying to decipher which emotion or suppressed emotion is causing it and that looks like the wrong approach. I will try your other suggestions and see if that helps.

Thank you for your reply. In your opinion what would be the steps for doing the "work". I have read unlearn your pain and followed the assignments, have read the Divided Mind by Sarno, I have read Dan Buglio's and Alan Gordon's the Way out, have had the Curable App, read other books been on...

Thank you for that ive been noticing patterns of when I post about my sensations the date and how it does correspond to events that are happening such as travel. I’m not a big traveller, don’t like to fly and am a homebody probably stemming from fact I grew up on a farm and as kids we never...

So spot on. I’m t that is so spot on. I’m trying to get myself relaxed, went for a long walk, keep telling myself I’m safe per Howard Schubener, I journaled done this morning on why going on this trip is bothering so much. I don’t know how to release by suppressed emotions as I’m not sure I...

I have an upcoming trip planned and the closer I get to the date the more problems I seem to have. Currently I’m experiencing very bad gas pains causing quite a bit of abdominal discomfort. I don’t understand how your brain can make gas in your intestinal tract and that they hurt so bad. I would...

That does sound like what him going thru. Just need to get my mindset to cooperate as we are going on the vacation I’m not 100% thrilled about and doing it as Sarno did to please my spouse.

thank you that was very insightful. I can resonate more with sarno going on that vacation with his wife
