    Day 25 How I’m doing

    “…write a forum post on how you are doing so far, and what apprehensions you may have about this treatment or your life in general.” Most of my back pain of over 30 years has settled down with a tolerable spike for about an hour upon getting up this morning. I went about my day acknowledging...

    Hip, back, knee, foot pain & 'stubborn' unconscious..?

    Hi all, I'm new here - have read a lot of the threads (which have been very helpful and insightful) and thought I'd share my own story in search of some advice. I was introduced to the concept of pain & the brain about a year ago, but have only seriously started to delve into TMS about two...

    Label and doubt over and over again

    Well once I get my mind on the right track that the label "fibromyalgia" is just tms and nothing more. That it is anxiety but physical and doctors use this label when they don't know what is causing it, my mind decides to revert to the doubt over and over like it loves to stick to this way of...

    About doubt

    So I've been journaling just now and had a relevation i wanted to jot down here, so i can easily find it again. I've read a lot of stories and threads on this forum and a thing that gets mentioned a lot when people get stuck is doubt. That was quite reasonable to me but for some reason...

    I messed up - badly...

    I've suffered with TMS for 7 years. It started just after losing my dream job at my alma mater. I was fired. I was devastated! I never thought I'd recover from it. I sublet my apartment and moved into my brother's unfinished basement with my dog. I was miserable. Then one day it happened -...

    Overcoming Doubt

    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...

    Doubting TMS Diagnosis

    So, you’ve read the books, you’ve researched mind/body pain, you understand the concept of neuroplasticity, you check many of the boxes on how your pain behaves like neuro-plastic pain, you’ve checked many of the boxes of the typical TMS personality and yet…you still doubt. And you’ve heard that...

    Program Hopping: the common mistake of the TMS personality

    I recently did an interview and was asked about what I saw as a common mistake that those who have TMS, have been trying to heal and yet have not found symptom relief are making. The answer was easy. Program hopping… where an individual dabbles in this modality and that one, reading a bit here...

    Doubt

    hello everybody, I have a doubt. When it comes to neck/ back pain, although the pain comes from the brain, what do we do with muscular contractures? I find hard to believe that those swolleb tissues are “not physical” and so I have not to threat them with cream, massages, etc. Sorry form my...

    If you are wondering whether your symptoms are TMS - watch this

    I posted about this before, but I think it is worth it to repost these links, as so many people are in doubt about their symptoms. Dr. Schubiner is great at explaining TMS, its causes, its manifestations, and what to do about it. You can find it on the Commonwealth Club's web site...

    No movement of pain, overcoming doubts

    Hello, I've been doing this work, on and off, for about 2 years now. But not consistently and alongside other various treatments. A few weeks ago I took the plunge and went headfirst into the TMS Educational Programme, and I am about half way through. I started off completely optimistic - that...

    Nontypical TMS symptoms - overcoming doubt

    Was listening to a podcast called Mind and Fitness by a TMS friendly host and he had a great guest on who talked a lot about doubt. In fact, his theory is that doubt is probably the biggest obstacle in TMS recovery. Not doubt in that it exists or not... but his patients doubt that their exact...

    i have a doubt that i would like to clear.

    should we always listen to our body? let’s say for example, constant tireness of the mind and body. do we still listen and sleep if it needs sleep, stop doing what you’re doing because the body is asking for a break? in my situation for example, my body wants me to stop reading, writing, talk...

    This is why I still have doubt

    When I read different posts I seem to pick out reasons why a TMS diagnosis doesn’t fit. Alan says that most people have a certain position that contributes to their symptoms. I don’t-it can be any position.`There are more examples as well. I spoke with my doctor during a physical two weeks ago...
