I ‘m reading Alan Gordon’s new book, The Way Out: A Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven Approach to Healing Chronic Pain. Well, I’m actually listening to it on Audible. Alan does the reading. It’s great! And it has humor woven in. It’s written in very bite-sized digestible chunks. I thought...

Does anyone know if Alan Gordon has written anything specifically on tinnitus and how he managed this symptom. I got one would love to hear more about it from his perspective, as it would help me fully believe that this can be eliminated.

Some 'continuing education' for those who are in (or have completed) @Alan Gordon LCSW 's free program on the wiki.... I had the opportunity to interview Alan for the Curable podcast a couple of weeks ago (apologies for the delay in actually sharing it with the wiki!). The interview is...

Ever since I got involved in the TMS universe, I've been a little murky on how much the "placebo effect" contributes to healing vs. actually releasing/ labeling/ acknowledging difficult emotions. I'm still not totally clear on it to be honest, but I guess I've come to the following question on...

Hi all, I attended Dr. Schubiner and Alan Gordon's 2 day course on TMS/PPD diagnosis and treatment this weekend and it was amazing! I learned so many strategies for ruling in TMS, educating clients on it and helping them through the process of changing their beliefs (including lots of research...

Hi all! I just got an email that Howard Schubiner and Alan Gordon will be running a 2-day TMS training course in Michigan this year May 5-6! Flyer is attached. I'm pretty sure i'll be going, any of you healthcare providers on here should definitely consider it! Pass it on :)

I have been told my IBS will be with me the rest of my life. Just started reading Dr. Schubiner's book and am hoping this will help. I know this all started with stress. Now in the last year I have severe anal and rectal problems associated with the IBS. There are no TMS doctors near me...

I have had excruciating pain in my right thigh and calf. I have had multiple CT Scans, MRIs and X-rays. I have been hospitalized twice. This is what was found: trace amounts of edema in hip and pelvic muscles on that side and a trace amount of fluid at the right subgluteus medius and subgluteus...

I experience occasional bouts where I become very cold and cannot stop shivering or yawning. The only thing I can do is bundle up, crawl into bed and sleep. There is no way to function during this period. Is this a complaint/symptom of others with Sjogrens? Sincerely, Patricia Dahl

Hello! I've healed myself of a dozen major tms symptoms in the past year by reading the books (back/foot/neck pain, photophobia, tinnitus, interstitial cystitis, toothache, carpal tunnel, cold urticaria etc). Before that though I developed an allergy to spinach that left me with red hive welts...

Hello. My name is Don and I read Dr. Sarno's book "Healing Back Pain" 7 years ago. 3 days after reading it, the last of my back pain was gone after 10 years of physical therapy, a 3 - level disecotomy, and countless medicines. Now I have a new problem. I have been very anxious and depressed for...

Hi everyone. I just needed to share this AHA moment I've been having. I've had many of them through these last couple of days /journey. I'm working through part two of Alan Gordon's process. Listening to the podcast of Mandy's learning how to self soothe and comfort her inner bully was really...

I had an unusual back injury and couldn't heal it through chiropractors, etc....I read about TMS and went to a TMS Therapist, which was helpful. He suggested I have an Orthopedic Doctor trained in TMS look at my X-rays and MRI....Then have a short phone Conversation to get the Doctor's opinion...

Hi, My TMS mostly manifests as pain in my right foot and ankle, which I've had for about 3 years following an injury. I found out about TMS about a year and half ago and went to see Dr. Schechter who diagnosed me as a clear-cut TMS case. Since then, I've had ups and downs with the pain, and I...

I had surgery for shoulder impingement syndrome 13 weeks ago. I now understand I have TMS and most likely did not need this surgery. How do I know if the pain I currently experience is from the healing of the surgery or the TMS? Also, I have read that you should not do PT when you have TMS. Am I...

Hello, Dr. Schubiner told me that: "It is almost the norm for TMS to start as a physical injury. Then the danger signal in the brain is set off and pain occurs. Then the brain/body learns that pain as a neural pathway. Then the injury heals, and then either the danger signal turns off or it...

I have MS, which I realize is not on your lists, and moderate to severe chronic pain daily in the form of headaches or migraines, neck and upper back pain and stiffness on my right side. The pain began shortly after my third child was born and my first and second were in kindergarten and second...

A friend was just diagnosed with stage 2 pancreatic cancer, and pretty much told to get his affairs in order. He is trying a new treatment and is hopeful. Amidst the zillions of messages telling him to FIGHT FIGHT, I wrote from my newly awakened heart and said don't FIGHT. Just thank it for...

I've been working on my TMS recovery for about 18 months. After about a year of work, I was able to get rid of my chronic pain syndromes and eliminate all the medication I was taking for my symptoms. However, I still have some TMS equivalents that I'm working on, i.e. anxiety, depression...

I've been dealing with horrible back and sciatic pain for over a year. I've read Healing Back Pain at least 3 times I feel like this is the solution, however after 3 good weeks I suddenly am going back to horrible pains/no new stress that I can think of/feeling a lot of anguish and sadness/any...
