emotions

Does anyone else struggle to physically feel their emotions? As I try to do this when a stronger wave of emotion comes over me, I recognize the same physiological reactions that occur when I am anxious - pressure in my chest, heart beating loud and fast. I am feeling like all of my emotions...

Dr. Schubiner has 5 F’s he suggests not to get caught up in Fixing Fear Frustration Fighting Focus I f’ind all of these a challenge, but fear and frustration are so tied to emotion that I find this list can have me trying to deny them. Remembering that feeling the emotion of being frustrated...

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...

I hardly feel happiness, I hardly feel sadness. I hardly laugh or cry, well today I did cried and felt sad so that's an emotion, but it's weird. How exactly do you guys get in touch with emotions and how does it help?

The question to ponder in the seventh day is: Are you having success at recognizing the emotions connected to your pain ? I don't know if I can contribute to this discussion, as I am not sure yet. But ... As far as dizziness is concerned ( I would like to write because there is few information...

In a nutshell, Dr. Sarno says that our brains cause less blood supply to a certain area, reducing oxygen to those areas, which is the cause of the pain, and that the purpose of this is to keep the emotions repressed. He says that tension causes this. But why does this require repressed...

For the last year I have practiced Somatic Tracking in a variety of ways, slowly learning that the “attention” you give the symptom briefly is a very light, slight attention - simply being with the symptom and not being afraid of it. It is a form of acceptance. Being the perfectionist, I started...

Do you have a habit of intensity? I mean this in all seriousness. Do you approach your whole life with intense pressure? Intense expectations, intense responses to others, intense scrutiny of every thought and emotion that you have? Especially after learning about the mind/body connection...

Where are my peeps that are “over-thinkers?” Uh-huh. I see you, and I got you covered with a handy little tool to get you out of your head and into experiencing your emotions. Because experiencing your emotions leads to a richer life and a lot less chronic pain! I present to you the...

There seems to be debate amongst those I converse with in this bubble regarding whether one can actually heal without working on the emotions. Thoughts?

Greetings everyone, I haven’t logged on here in a while, but I wanted to make this post because I believe it will help some of you. Let me first give a brief outline of the path that led me to the main insight I want to share. When I first discovered mindbody medicine 5 years ago, I invested...

I'm having a lot of fear and sadness coming up. The anger keeps melting into a deep sadness, or fears. Today, I had the thought of exercising later today and just the thought sent terror through my body, and took me some time to calm down. According to a few tests I've done, and my history, I...

I feel like it can be difficult to discern what emotional releases will lead to relief from TMS and those that just seem to make things worse. But often I can move from feelings of sadness to fear and anxiety and there's a rather thin line between them sometimes. Is this fairly common for anyone?

Up until a week ago my focus on physical expression of feelings was more or less: Sadness - Crying, trembling voice, softness in eyes Anger - Making fists, screaming/punching pillow, flexing muscles hard Doing this in combination with expressive journaling through the SEP has helped me a lot...

I don't like feeling this way, because I know it's my pain talking, but I feel like I just want to die and get this life over with it. This is my truth and I accept it. I've been a worrier my whole life. After a night of smoking weed (age 19), I developed panic disorder and my life took an awful...

I've been on this TMS journey for over a year and a half now and while I am generally 95%+ healed from my debilitating state. I play League of Legends pain free and with no discomfort most days, tinnitus is drastically reduced, knee/foot pain are gone. I basically used the techniques on this...

I'm sure in overthinking this but I often can't tell if I'm repressing emotions or searching for emotions that simply are not there... Here is a simple example... Both of my small children are crying and I'm getting frustrated. I allow the feeling of frustration to be felt and then talk to...

Hello again, Good news, the last EMG test results were fine. The technician said that probably I don't have any muscle disease. I'm still waiting for an official confirmation from my neurologist next month but it made me more certain in the TMS diagnosis. Just a reminder for those who didn't...

You know what? I'm angry. This is absolutely not something I would have admitted to, before discovering TMS. I am very much the typical TMS personality, a goodist, perfectionist, stoic. I can't recall more than a few times in my entire life that I've even felt, let alone expressed, anger, so...
