TMS is so funny sometimes, Had a few stressful days, but all good now. On my way to work this morning in the car, I thought to myself, man I haven't had a migraine in a while thats pretty great. I continued on to the swimming pool, had a swim, got into the car off to work and BAM Migraine...

Hi, Is anyone able to explain to me if/how the brain causes the production of gas in the gut? I have been getting really bloated and gassy, and I have excessive flatulence that lasts for several hours on a daily basis. I struggle with anxiety and think this might be a TMS issue, however I'm...

Hey All I read that our brain is protecting us from rage in unconscious mind by producing pain. I am trying to understand what is it is trying to protect us from? Hypothetically, if the rage keeps growing in unconscious mind, what happens if there is no such thing thet brain distracts us from...

Good morning everyone, I wanted to share this text that my therapist suggested to me. It argues that René Descartes' "error" was the dualist separation of mind and body, rationality and emotion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descartes%27_Error (Descartes' Error - Wikipedia) It was very useful...

One of the hardest parts in this whole mind/body healing is the concept of BELIEF. We hear that we must have 100% belief. Most of the writers of our beloved TMS books spend the majority of the book developing belief, and precious little in the actual “what to do” portion. Why? Because belief...

I made a list of the things that I'm still doing on a regular basis, that I think are threatening and increase symptoms. I'm quite sad and distraught that I'm still doing this after months of knowing that fear is what keeps the symptoms going. It's a pretty overwhelming list too....wanted to...

Has anyone else with brain fog found journaling difficult? Any advice you can give me? "Just write what comes to mind" they say. I have brain fog, so nothing ever comes to mind. I just sit mindlessly over a blank piece of paper as I think of what to write about, and then to avoid further...

Hi all, Here’s episode 3 of our pain recovery podcast. We discuss how to determine if your pain is caused by your brain, and we explain why it's so important to embrace this belief. This was my favorite episode we’ve done so far (especially the part with Greg, the former football player who...

I am wondering if trying new things can cause a tumult in my brain, because after being able to go back to sleep after a bad night, for the first time for years, and also noticing that my right foot and ankle (which have been chronically swollen for the last 15 years, was looking normal this...

I'm all in for TMS and have been for five months. I'm staying on track, and my life right now is about TMS and living a normal life and exercising. I tell everyone I'm doing well even though I'm still having symptoms, and I try to keep my brain thinking psychologically...but I haven't...

Hello all. Merry Christmas. I'm still toying with some ideas.. Fact: The brain is the smartest thing in our bodies - by far. Fact: But does it control us or do we control IT?? Fact: I have learned that the "system" cannot set us free.. Fact: What does this tell us..?

It's humbling to admit that after working the TMS program for several years (with great success) that I'm sitting here at work with an ice pack on my arm and taking Aleve for something that I know is TMS. About a month ago, I started having pain in my left elbow/forearm. A manageable...

I found out about TMS in April. I had suffered back pain for more than 7 years. I occasionaly meditate so thought I'll just focus my attention on my brain instead of other parts of my body. The results were strange, dramatic and interesting. I was lying down, here was a sudden release of tension...
