anger

So the family has recovered from a full month of sickness (taking turns) and my pain is almost zero again. Good! I was having maybe 5-10% pain, and something happened in my emotional life (at work) that just made my whole body relax and I could feel my hip/leg got even better and my pain was...

The fucking month we have had... I have been doing so well TMS wise so I have been keeping it together anyway, but now I´m loosing my shit We got confirmed Covid a second time in the family (11 months since last time, surely a mutation now), and its not just taking turns being sick, its the...

Just wanted to share something that I find so interesting, albeit tragic, in terms of the TMS world (and also my family.) My dad has been having severe back pain off and on for the past couple years. He has already had two surgeries and is scheduled for a third and keeps going to the hospital...

In my humble opinion the rol of anger in the genesis of pain is paramount. If you try to say to a suffering person "beware!, a part of you, the inner or residual child according Freud, could be 'dangerously' enfuriated" his/her automatic response will be.... RAGE ! The neverending loop...

I have had another bad night and after about 2 hours sleep woke at 4.30am with the usual inexplicable anger, anger about everything and everyone, including myself, but the anger is so universal, I can't stand anyone or anything so how can I deal with it. there's nothing I want to do apart from...

What do we do with all this rage? It surfaces when we cure ourselves. So now it’s there. Now what do we do with it?

Ongoing anger is an absolute block to moving forward and living a truly enjoyable life. You are stuck to past. As anger is a reflection of higher elevations of stress hormones, sustained levels of them will also make you sick. The list of stress-related diseases is long and they are serious. The...

You know what? I'm angry. This is absolutely not something I would have admitted to, before discovering TMS. I am very much the typical TMS personality, a goodist, perfectionist, stoic. I can't recall more than a few times in my entire life that I've even felt, let alone expressed, anger, so...

Hi, I’ve trying to figure out the following: “In order to overcome your symptoms you need to teach your brain that psychological stressors (in my case anger) are not dangerous.” You should ‘feel the anger’ and not fear it. On the other hand I should also practice self-love, self-compassion...

I just read the above line in "The Great Pain Deception" and didn't really understand it, so I looked it up. Here is an article I found which explains it somewhat: https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/anxiety-zen/201607/the-surprising-emotion-behind-anxiety I still don't fully understand...

Hi everyone, I would like to talk to you a little bit about this period that I am living to understand what you think of the situation. I haven't been very well for a few weeks. During the month of March I started doing gym again; after about a month I started having problems. First a plantar...

Its so weird how some concepts are simple, but inspired. I was about to ask the forum how I can derive more patience with myself regarding all things: pain, but also my inconsistencies and frustrations with myself and those around me. I had the inspired thought: put some love into it. (I was...

I’ve been reading “Freedom from Fibromyalgia” by Dr. Nancy Selfridge since there’s a forward by Dr. Sarno, and it’s basically the author’s own strategy that she used on herself to conquer TMS. One thing I really like so far is that she gives some tips on finding anger. Dr. Sarno wrote that it’s...

Hi everyone, I would like to take stock of this last period. A few weeks ago the psychological approach really worked, I was free of significant pain for about four weeks. In the last episode, in particular, I managed to convince myself, relaxing, that until I could not have faith in the TMS...

Does anyone else feel that they are basically living with a daily cloud of anger hanging over their heads? I understand the connection between stress illness and anger and know how it co-exists and feeds into TMS. I think if it isn’t natural for someone in chronic pain to be angry then it is...

a question... how do you treat repressed anger? I realized that I still have anger repressed for an event happened a few years ago .. I thought I was free, because I wrote a lot and used ISTDP model , but yesterday while I was talking about this event with a friend I felt some feelings ..first...

I’m having a great deal of trouble actually feeling these repressed feelings because my defences are very strong mentally and are essentially not allowing me to. Does anyone have any tips that can help me get in touch with these represssed thoughts and feelings? Thank you

I am currently reading Fred Luskin's book "Forgive for good" where I read that couple of studies have shown that if you often recall or dwell on a past situation that angered you your brain takes it at face value and your nervous system and body reacts as if the situation was occurring and...

Posting this, just because. I admire Dr. Northrup and what she brings to the table. Good for women and men both.
