discussions of the tms recovery process

So I suffered most of my life with varying symptoms at different intensities, originating from my childhood trauma and resulting perfectionism, people pleasing, self-neglect. This culminated with me finding TMS after 2 years very sick and months bedridden with what I thought was long covid...

I love reading people's success stories. I also dream of the day that ive beaten my TMS 100 percent so I can write my own. But like many of you, im not quite there yet (or some of you may be frustrated and making little to no progress.) But the common theme I notice when reading most success...

There is a general misconception about TMS that is the reason why people are having trouble and are on this forum, searching for help. I am trying my best to explain things so that hopefully, some of you can see the error in your thinking. Dr. Sarno discovered that people who are prone to TMS...

I have just completed the Structured educational program. After 8 years of chronic back pain, 2 debilitating acute episodes (completely bedridden) per year, physical therapies, muscle relaxers, etc., I read Sarno's book, unconvinced, yet desperate. I found this wiki and began the program. In...

Hi, I just finished the program and it helped me so much. Thank you all for the support. I have less pain and I know what to do when the pain is flaring up. Greetings, Judith

First, welcome to our community! I hope you find the resources here very helpful and wanted to make a post to provide some guidance about how to start. I should probably introduce myself. I started this community back in 2008 after recovering from my own TMS. You can learn about me and watch my...

In Dr. Sarno's book Healing backpain he writes that lots of people 'cure' themselves simply by understanding that the cause of there physical pain is psychological. One moment they're in pain, the next it's gone, often forever. Why does this work for some people while others have to work on it...

Hi, What is it that prevents someone from getting better from TMS (assuming they have it for sure)? What are some of the main barriers to someone getting better?

I've had upper back, neck, shoulder, arm, wrist and lower back pain for just about a year now and i just watched a TMS success story on youtube and all of my pain went away in MINUTES. I've been to doctors, kiropraktors, massages and all of that stuff, just a few days ago my ortopidic doctor...

Hey All, I'm going through one of those periods where I really feel stuck. I feel stuck because I've been trying to resolve a lot of my TMS for almost 5 years now. A lot of my TMS is manifested through anxiety and numbness and tingling in my feet. The anxiety is the more exhausting TMS symptom...

Not sure if this has ever been posted, but I just listened to this, and really enjoyed it.

Hi all, This is my first post. I've been lingering and reading for the past week, you all seem to be a supportive and kind group so I feel safe that you'll understand my situation and frustrations. Just a brief introduction first. I am 39 yrs old, have had chronic neck and shoulder pain since...

Hi everyone! I would have never believed anyone if they were to tell me that I would to heal from TMS, but here I am... 5 years later, to tell you that I have. Yes 5 years, it's been a long and hard battle. It did not just happen overnight. I worked hard every day to achieve this. Let me just...

Hello All! My name is Jacopo and I live in Nyc since almost 9 years, I moved here from Milano, Italy I was 31 years old. I did have a plan how to succeed in my life but I was inside very scared of the new path. So I started to develop back pain. I remember one night I woke up in so much pain I...

Hi Everyone! I am new to this forum because I've just discovered this new concept of TMS. My pain started 3 years ago due to a horrible experience with "special brownies." It was my first time trying them, and it was the result of my first panic attack, resulting in me getting sent to the...

Hello Everyone! I'm excited to announce that I've finally completed my success story in video format and uploaded it to YouTube yesterday. The link for the playlist is below: I wanted to create something comprehensive that people could relate to and also learn from so I broke it down into 7...
