    More doubts

    Sorry everyone, I keep coming back here to ask questions as it stops me googling! I've got a fear (TMS brain talking) that people who say they've rewired their brains through doing this work aren't genuinely pain free as I've read a few books and watched success stories which note that 'I...

    Doubts all of a sudden

    I just endured an incredibly long and stressful (72 hr) travel sequence with missed flights trying to get home after the new year and now I have an increase in symptoms (of course). I think together with the lack of sleep and being unable to keep up with meditating, journaling, the SEP etc the...

    Doubts / self-victimising

    Just out of interest, does anyone else have thoughts that no one else’s TMS could possibly be this bad (i then feel guilty for those thoughts…!) but sometimes I’m like, surely no one else has 24/7 constant pain in one spot with all these scary medicalised terms and gets through it… then I...

    Autoimmune

    I know the sensations I feel are TMS and I send my brain messages of safety throughout the day. Messages of safety may include "... my body is okay and resilient". However, sometimes my brain comes back to me with thoughts along the lines of "your body isn't fine, you know you've got crohn's...

    New with a question!

    Hi all, I’m new to this forum and fairly new to TMS. I have been dealing with chronic pain since 2018/19 (18 was the first pain so I guess it’s 19 really when it became chronic). I’m a very active 47 year old marathoner, mum, senior executive at a tech business, perfectionist, self critic...

    Looking for advice on shaking off other people doubting you

    Hi all. Sorry to post such a specific topic, but couldn't find a ton when I searched... probably just typing in the wrong keywords! Just experienced, for my first time really, somebody in an FB "neural retraining" group (PPD, TMS adjacent) quite doggedly telling me that "there's no way your...

    Some reinforcement please

    Hi all. You can find my full, original TMS story under my profile. To summarize many years ago, I had debilitating back pain. At my low point I told my wife if this was going to continue forever, I’d rather be dead. I wasn’t kidding. after a long journey I experienced a sudden, miraculous...

    Day 34 Frustrating parts : past topics unadressed, pain vs anxiety, doubts

    - I have a lot of past subjects to write about it, the more I write about them, the more I remember things I should write about... but the program focus more on personality trait and current stress at this moment - Frustrated to convert all the time "pain" by "anxiety" to apply it to this...

    doubts, unsure of myself and not seeing results

Both are same inside, outer expression is different. 15 yrs of stammer. 7 years of neck spasm. And almost 5 years of knowing sarno and tms. Been through cycles of...

    Chronic Migraine Sufferer with doubts and questions?

    I have chronic migraine and I've been reading about TMS. It does seem like many migraine sufferers find relief but I have a lot of doubts. I can see this applying to bodily pain that becomes chronic long after an injury has healed but in most cases migraine never has a physical cause as its a...

    Do you believe?

    Do you believe that your pain or symptoms are caused by a psychosomatic process and not due to a structural defect or some chemical imbalance in the body? Do I truly believe it? To me, it may be the most important question. And like any matter of faith, the path from point A to point B...
