chronic pain

Hey guys. So, for 2 years I had chronic pain. Like, really bad. The pain dissipated after studying TMS and journaling for TMS. But, a few months in I went from calorie counting 2100 calories per day to being unable to go under 4000 calories. Now nothing different happened other than my...

Someone pointed me to the concept of target fixation, a psychological phenomenon well known to the fighter pilots and race car drivers, or anybody else who operates fast-moving vehicles in stressful situations. They get fixated on the oncoming obstacle so much that they end up running into it...

Hi folks, Intro For a little background, I used to be very active in the TMS communities for years during my pain cycles, but have not in the past few years as I beat my major pain issues (at the time, it was back and hip, which I overcame talking to others about TMS and reading Sarno's books)...

My apologies for getting back to what I've already mentioned in another post but I do think it might deserve a separate discussion. So, do any of you find yourselves in a pattern: minor injury -> injury-related pain -> obsessive thinking about the injury -> pain stays for good instead of going...

For the folks who are struggling with recovery, and a timetable for your healing, Dr. Melissa Farmer does a great job of explaining how and why this healing can take some time for many people. The longer we have pain (3 months or more) the deeper the neural pathways are formed. This is a normal...

This is a recording of the presentation made to the CRPS patients, but it is applicable to any other chronic pain condition. Also, a reminder that This Might Hurt is an amazing film about Dr. Schubiner and his work. https://www.thismighthurtfilm.com/ (This Might Hurt)

Hi everybody This is my first post on the TMS wiki…so I’m just going to tell my story and if somebody manages to read it and be kind enough to offer advice or support I would massively appreciate it. I’m 35 yo and my physical pain began when I was approx 20 years with a terrible case of shin...

But I don’t want to journal. Is it the only way to get in touch with emotional drivers of chronic pain? No. No, it’s not. Now, if you aren’t opposed to journaling, I’d certainly start there. It has worked beautifully for many many people including me. However, if the idea of sitting down...

We understand that our thoughts, emotions and physical symptoms are intertwined. Everyone understands blushing or crying as a physical response to our inner world. But just how does our mental and emotional world affect us and what is at the top? Where does it all start? I like to think of...

For many years, I lived my life by a few deeply personal mottos, sometimes lighthearted, but always meaningful little sayings that applied to me and my life.
