anger

Hi all, The past few days I've been having some real struggles with cold sensations: hands and feet and sometimes all over. After doing some digging, I found that I have an intense anger at the weather, as irrational as that sounds. A couple of weeks ago, the months of constant cold weather...

I'm honestly pissed off about having to do "TMS work" at all. I have spent a lot of my life suffering, doing various therapies, working to try and ease that suffering. I do not want to re-parent myself. I already had to parent myself as a child because my parents needed me to be the responsible...

I am really struggling to feel anger towards my mother, who has Covert Narcissism going on. It's tough for a few reasons: 1, I imagine her as a small child who is just struggling to be in the world herself. She doesn't know any better. 2, I hate the thought of anyone hurting or hurting anyone...

At times I wonder if TMS-oriented podcasters/practitioners are scared to say "There are no guarantees.... You may never get better." I reflect on this as someone who has gotten somewhat better. Some symptoms have disappeared. Others are the same or slightly worse after 3 1/2 yrs of delving into...

According to Dr. Sarno the role of repressed, unfelt, unbearable, "incorrect" rage is paramount in the genesis of TMS. Closely related: https://drsoph.com/blog/where-does-anger-come-from-the-two-main-reasons-you-may-feel-angry (Where Does Anger Come From? The three Main Reasons You Feel Angry...

I do want to heal, otherwise I wouldn't be here. I've always fought for myself to be a better person. I have beaten so many self-destructive things I used to do to harm myself. But I don't actually want to be NICE to myself every day if that makes sense. Despite not cutting or drinking or...

Hello! I'm writing after a couple of hours after an explosion of anger that i had towards a very close person that's the root of my main traumas and unexpressed rage. I finished my first round of the structured program 42 days, and I'm also supported by a therapist. I don't want to bother...

I have a son who has been using marijuana since middle school. My husband and I battled with him all through high school. We had two rules -no driving while using or using in our house. Our son is smart, athlete, handsome, has many people who love him, yet he uses everyday. He would smoke in...

"Don't act, just think." - Slavoj Zizek I realized something very potent today. Bear with me. My point is that replacing negative with positive feedback loops is a powerful tool to erode TMS symptoms and release rage, but I feel that telling my "rage" story - which is not entirely about TMS -...

I have expanded the amount of activities I can do despite symptoms, but my illness has not improved. Actually, things have gone downhill despite me making some positive life changes to cut out stressors. I have become increasingly aware of the fact that I never feel safe or relaxed, not even...

Hi all!! i am getting into journaling and can see how it will help i can feel the rage and sadness pouring out if me. I have cone to realise that i also have rage and shame frustrations directed towards myself. I am sure these feelings are doing much tms damage. However will writing down the...

I came across this article about Niksen, a Dutch relaxation technique, which I'm currently trying out https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/shortcuts/2019/jul/22/people-just-do-nothing-is-the-dutch-concept-of-niksen-the-best-way-to-relax (People just do nothing: is the Dutch concept of...

So I belong to an alcohol support group on two different forums. One is Marco Polo where we make video clips and then you watch them when you can and the other is Annie Grace's "This Naked Mind" group. Annie is a wonderful person who actually helped herself through debilitating back pain with...

Since TMS theory states that we should not act bothered by our symptoms and we should express our repressed anger-- what do you do if you have anger about your symptoms? Should I express it or ignore it? Haven't seen this addressed in all I've read about TMS. Mostly they talk about being afraid...

Greetings everyone, I haven’t logged on here in a while, but I wanted to make this post because I believe it will help some of you. Let me first give a brief outline of the path that led me to the main insight I want to share. When I first discovered mindbody medicine 5 years ago, I invested...

Hello, I have a lot of anger regarding insurance claims I had over a year ago due to my inability to work. I had/have chronic hand/forearm/shin pain. I have so much anger directed at how the insurance companies treated me and I don't know how to deal with it (case denied). The insurance agents...

I've been reading Freedom From Fibromyalgia by Nancy Selfridge and Franklynn Peterson, and I just finished reading the chapter on anger. I was hoping it would clear some things up for me, but I actually feel even more confused than before. At one point in the chapter, they say this: "What's the...

We had about one good week after the second time of getting Covid (which had us out many weeks), and then... Then we got the f***ing stomach flue and been puking our guts out. You just got to love pre-school and all it brings... And the focus of bad luck the past months is getting ridiculous...
