fear

I find I experience a lot of fear with my symptoms. The fear of the symptoms possibly never going away or getting worse consume me sometimes. It really gets me down. Do you think I might be afraid of other things or simply fearful of the pain I am experiencing? Wouldn't you know it, I have...

Hi everyone, I have come a long way in my recovery, I remember how bad things used to be and wonder how I got through them. After all the pain symptoms I overcame, I still have this nagging back pain after work. I'm working part time, 5 hour days. Nothing strenuous, just indoors office work...

I am new on the TMS recovery journey and I remember being afraid of thoughts of being left alone with no mum or dad, I would cry! I guess that could have been the start of the symptoms, to my memory. I also remember having stomach cramps too (just saying). Were these conscious thoughts created...

After working the program for a month now, when I came to today's Question to Ponder asking about new symptoms after working through other issues, I seems to me that there might be some of this happening. My problem has primarily been sciatica in my right leg since last year around this time...

From reading Sarno's book and from reading things on this forum alot of people who have suffered from TMS have had a 'fear' of exercising. I've never really felt this 'fear' about exercise, ive always loved to exercised but just continued through the pain, it usually felt better at the time. I...

I finally came to a conclusion with my on and off with medications over the last 1.5 yrs, pain med antidepressant meds,anxiety meds and so on…Every-time I took a med it just re-enforced my fear, so after I dosed down and made sure everything was ok…I did something I thought I would never due…I...

Hello, Besides every day tension in my neck (especially side muscles), shoulder and jaw area I experience sudden spasm ( I believe it's a spasm) when one side of the neck gets very tight, including trapezious, jaw starts to click and right shoulder starts twitching ( well I feel a need to...

My symptoms (buzzing, stabbing, stinging, tingling, twitching in my feet and legs) occur every minute of the day. They sometimes become so severe that I start to get headaches, brain fog, burning head/chest, and an inability to focus for long periods of time. I've been practicing mindfulness...

I'm on day 29 of the SEP and have been reading about TMS prior to that so getting close to a month and a half. My pain this week has been worse. I'm feeling really tired of it and scared that it won't go away. Both of my shoulders hurt and my right wrist hurts. My hips are driving me crazy with...

I'm actually feel fine now, but I'm obviously keeping on with the SEP (insurance ! ;)). Day 24 addresses the people pleaser trait, my biggest TMS causing culprit. I've been working on this one the longest and I've had some surprising results. I have to force myself not to repeat old patterns...

Hi all, One of my biggest struggles with this TMS journey has to do with cycles. I'm sure many of you have been there. I can go a few days (and up to a couple of weeks, sometimes a bit longer) accepting my symptoms and not fighting or resisting them or being afraid of them. Then, all of a...

A life without TMS would literally mean everything to me, hope, endless possibilities, no restrictions, no limits, all my dreams would become within reach instead of clouded by fear of pain and fear of fear itself holding me back. However slight or severe the pain it always elicits the same...

New to TMS theory and wondering why fear is separated from anger, guilt, and sadness as a feeling. Can someone explain this to me?

I know this may sound a little vague, but what is the connection between fear and physical TMS symptoms?

Working on All the Rage has offered us amazing opportunities to meet and connect with incredibly people from all backgrounds. Tomorrow, Michael is heading to St. Louis to show our previous film, "Who Took Johnny". While there, he's going to shoot with Prince Ea for a scene in ATR. If his...

At the heart of pain is fear. The fear of failure is due to the fear of being shamed/rejected, and the fear of being rejected is due to fear of being isolated, and the fear of being isolated is due to the fear of being alone: un-connected. Then comes ego to further hide the fear and to...

Hi all, I recently tried EFT with this wonderful therapist Jenny Johnston. Her therapy wasn't cheap, but well worth it. I noticed she has many you tubes, and I realised I only have to watch one to refresh my mind on the formula she uses. This one is a very powerful example of her work.

Hey Guys! I had a giant leap forward yesterday. My confidence in the diagnosis - confirmed. The walk on the beach was just short of a mile. I'm working harder on our life issues than I have in months. And still...wanted to share this with you. (Might have to tilt your head to one side for a...
