anger

For me my symptoms just come when I do anything ambitious. A new job, promotion at work, college course, a new challenging hobby, working two jobs etc Those are literally the only times I get symptoms. I find life boring, but the second I step out of that boredom, the symptoms come, my body...

At the start of my tms symptoms i was online a lot. I engaged with politics discussions. I am a well meaning guy, but my words never came across. I’d be called names when all i wanted to do was have a conversation. I would go online onto Twitter or Instagram or Tiktok or whatever and wherever...

I've started this thread as an 'overflow' from another thread because I was going off topic. Below I've quoted @Diana-M from that other thread, and what follows is my response, which she advised me she found helpful and of some comfort. When I deleted my posting I thought I hadn't saved the...

I'm keen to hear from others that have / had food allergies. I always thought it was normal to get really angry (enraged actually) when I eat gluten products, telling myself that it's some kind of allergic response. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm thinking perhaps there's an emotional...

This is not going to be reflecting nicely upon me as a person, but I think its true and I would love some insights from others. I have always been significantly intelligent, but not at all self aware or emotionally mature. After doing the TMS-work and also reading a lot of related literature I...

For anyone who would like a guided workbook to help express their anger I recently found this book. I'm posting up as I'm finding it helpfully quite 'cathartic' (for want of a better word)... It's called 'The Anger Book - A Journal To Destroy' by Elias Baar. Here's someone's video about it...

Hi! I'm new here. I have a long, sad history of chronic pain, especially back pain. I have accepted my back pain is due to TMS. I fully believe this. The part I'm stuck at, and confused about, is this seeming paradox: Suppressed anger causes pain (yes, I get this), but in Sarno's book he...

I tend to lift heavy and find myself angry and emotional sometimes after lifting. Any ideas why?

Hi everyone, I wanted to share another interview I did with Jen Johnson at Thought by Thought Healing. I speak about how the loss of my brother at age 38 led to many TMS symptoms. I also speak about TMS symptoms from parenting and how my Christian faith also caused symptoms as well. Hope it helps!

Hi, I am curious is it better to manage stressful situations without getting angry (I am dealing with something and it is not going my way so I am trying to adopt a calm approach since it's not going to change the situation) or fly in a rage and feel the anger? I'm confused as TMS says to feel...

Dr. Schubiner has said that one obstacle to finding a physician who knows how to treat TMS is that most physicians don’t learn anything about it in medical school. The video below reveals another obstacle--an economic one given current standards for insurance reimbursement of medical bills...

All forms of narcissistic abuse result from failure to feel empathy. They don’t care about how you feel. Failure of compassion is abuse. Acceptance of anger is not pleasant, but it is necessary for ending the abuse. Anger will guide you to decisions that are important to make. Hidden anger...

I’m a seasoned TMS warrior. I’ve been through years of therapy. I thought I knew everything … until…. I came to this forum and I was directed to “look in plain sight” for sources to my TMS. What does that mean? It means: something is making you so mad that you have TMS to keep you from...

Today's newsletter from Dr Hanscom contains this very timely article and reminder. It is certainly apropos for my state of mind, considering my ruminations over world and national affairs lately! https://backincontrol.com/dont-take-on-the-worlds-suffering/ (Don’t Take on the World’s Suffering -...

From this week's newsletter. Link to more at the bottom. The Root Cause of Societal Disintegration – Untreated Anxiety Being trapped by relentless untreated anxiety is the core driver of destructive human behaviour. Anxiety is the sensation generated by your body’s stress chemicals in...

When I journal. I pay attention to my body. It has taught me that I have these anger “tells.” I had no idea they were my body’s way of talking. One of them is what people might call restless leg syndrome. My leg will just spastically kick or twitch. This has gone on for years. Just randomly. I...

I’ve been in therapy (this time) for 3 years. I began this therapy because I was reading Sarno and doing all his advice, with nothing happening. So I decided I was one of the unlucky few he mentions who will need therapy. The therapy I am getting is called Internal Family Systems (IFS). The...

Just finished reading Willard Gaylin MD's magnificent The Rage Within: Anger in Modern Life (1984), one of the self-acknowledged source books for Dr Sarno's TMS theory. Needless to say Gaylin provided Dr Sarno with the idea of rage repressed into the unconscious that becomes an unconscious...

Hi there! Here comes the (success)story about my sleep problems and how I found a way to fix them, hoping that somebody with similar issues might benefit from reading about my experience. How my sleep problems started and what they looked like: First of all I have to say, I have never been a...

I really want people to get better. I wouldn't hang out on this forum after all of these years If I didn't, but virtually every time I read a question on here the first 'answer' I think is "Go and read the F--ng Book" "But I read the book" Yeah...like a Novel. Go and make it YOUR story. And...
