    Looking for input for TMS book from layperson

    I have suffered from severe TMS since 1997, and recently thought I would put the symptoms "on trial" in a short story length memoir I wrote for myself. I found it very therapeutic to write this and was wondering if others would find it helpful. Recently my eyes finally "opened" and I would...

    Current book - The Body Keeps the Score, Bessel van der Kolk

    Who has read it? It's lengthy but fascinating and really digs into the concept of trauma emerging as physical symptoms later in life.

    A book for 'people pleasers' (as many TMSers are)...

    Someone recommended to me the book '50 Sentences That Make Life Easier' by Karin Kuschik and I am wowed by it, so I thought I'd post up about it (essentially just for people to know about and decide to take or leave). Here a couple of reviews on amazon of the book that I agree with: "Let’s be...

    'Quit Ruminating & Brooding' - a book by psychologist Olle Wadstrom

    In another thread I was saying that I'm "too lazy to be OCD", but it has recently occurred to me that, although I don't have physical rituals, my thoughts still loop a lot. For instance, I have been, and still am, experiencing an extremely trying few weeks of needing to deal with people that I...

    That book and Podcast aren't gonna fix you

    You don't need to read another Book. You don't need to hear the right podcast. I have ONLY ever read Sarno... "Healing Back Pain" and "Mindbody Prescription."....and the second book was really just an update on the first. Yes, this is a learning program, but you're not gonna get better...

    Severe Symptoms & Steve O's Book

    I've have read a number of books on TMS/MBS over the past several weeks. One message I see throughout some of the books is that if one has severe and debilitating symptoms e.g. fibromyalgia then resolving TMS issues on your own is not going to work. It is recommended that the patient seeks...
