    Does TMS usually manifest in a body part you care about a lot?

    For example, if you're a singer is it likely that TMS would manifest in something with your throat? If you really enjoy running is is likely it will manifest in your legs?

    What about repressed *positive* emotions?

    I find myself wondering throughout this protocol: what about repressed positive emotions? At first glance, it may seem ridiculous. Who would repress a positive emotion?
