The fear of pain, physical activity, injury or spinal abnormality is enough to perpetuate TMS. John Sarno Jul 3, 2025 at 1:10 PM

My Story

I have had TMS my whole life on and off. It usually went away because I ignored it. In 2017, I learned about Sarno. In 2020, started accruing a new batch of symptoms; 16 of them. Difficulty walking, RSI in my hands (can’t type), pains all over, weird sensations, you name it. Been on the forum since 2024. Working my way out of this. I’ve learned so much!

    Exercise, standing, and 'getting on with life' all at the same time - I love multi-benefit activity! :)

  Home from my trip. Faced it all! Feeling amazing. The only monster in the closet is your own fear.

  White light today—makes the new leaves glow neon green against black rain-soaked tree trunks. Silent beauty that takes my breath away. ❤️

  Each of my kids gave me a vase of flowers for Mother’s Day. I LOVE flowers! I could look at them all day long!

    @Ellen is so right about this! The lasting improvement that I've experienced happened subtly; it crept in 'under the radar'.

  Sometimes progress is hard to see with TMS. But I’m finding if you look carefully, you will see it.

  Woke up today with a case of “I don’t care.” I just don’t care anymore if I have TMS. Got places to go, people to see, things to do!

  If I keep going forward, not buying into what my TMS dishes out, I’ll get clear of this. However long it takes—that’s what it takes.

  As you do the work, you build more and more love for yourself—and you start to believe that you are worth the fight.

  3 ways to talk to your TMS brain: thinking, speaking and doing. Doing is the best way to get its attention. Do something scary.

  This battle is mental! Exercise disciplines your mind. You can use that discipline to get yourself free. Face pain; Do it anyway.
