fear

Here's a short video I made about the importance of cultivating a different relationship to fear along with some practical tips for taming fear. I would love to hear about how you work with your fears.

Many women post about their pains that come from the stresses of motherhood. Actress Jennifer Lopez, recently divorced and mother of twins from the last of her three husbands, speaks on motherhood, nervousness, anxiety, fear, and happiness: “When you have children, you realize you can't plan...

Meditating on the pain and trying to allow it occasionally brings some relief (and very occasionally dramatic relief). But I feel I've clung onto this as a way to 'beat' the pain and break through it in a way that might not be helpful. I realize that the only reason I'm really doing the...

I have become aware in the last few weeks that my life is so consumed by fear, and that I have become accustomed to bowing down to the fear and allowing it to change me. Any advice or suggestions for overcoming such a thing would be much appreciated.

I think im into day 11 of the program -- trying to turn down, or rather 'release' my perfectionism by following the structured program completely by the book. But i feel so wonderful. even went for a run the other day! I have a picture of the daily reminders as my phone lock screen, and try to...

I just want to say thank you for this amazing service and support! Thank you Alan Gordon for providing so many amazing audio clips and tips to deal with all of this repressed emotion I've been carrying around as a gigantic pain in the butt for 18 years! I am crying as I write this because of...

I've had, and got rid of lots of TMS in the past. But right now I have what started as a real injury. I sprained my wrist badly in a climbing accident on December 4th - tore the ligaments and had multiple contusions. The problem is now, I am coming to that difficult period where I can start...

It has been a while since I posted here. I have often wished I had posted after what I consider my recovery. So, before I talk about the support I need: to anyone struggling accepting the TMS diagnosis, hang in there, it will come and the pain will stop. I never thought I would have that "magic"...

Greetings fellow healers. I will be brief and concrete. I acknowledge my back pain as 100% TMS. It took a while but I accepted my anxiety as TMS. I am fortunate that my physical pain has been very limited. I go through periods of "High Anxiety." Here's what I have concluded in myself ans ask if...

Hi, I always had a latent fear inside me. When I wake up in the morning I'm always fearful of the unknown, and what might come. As a child I had problems sleeping because of fear... Fear is my worst enemy... Fear was what made me in chronic pain for all these years. I was cured, but now I'm...

Hi all, this is my 2nd post in this forum. Some background: - male, 35 years old - pretty active in the gym - hurt low back in the past, but healed, got some tweak here and there - overall, never really concerned about it and just enjoying life several weeks ago I decide to consult a doctor...

hi everyone, the last months I used affirmations like: "there is nothing wrong with my foot, I am safe, there is nothing to fear etc. " Then I listened to the audios of Claire Weekes: her advice to deal with pain is to accept completely the fear of pain and all emotions that come up. For me...

As stupid as it is, the biggest part of my problem is me being afraid of my tension. I try to not think about it. I'm reading books so will hopefully find the answer. I was wondering if anyone has any tips or advise. I'm back to work Monday and worried about the pain

I'm struggling with a decision, and I'd love insight from you all. Backstory: I came down with CFS (extreme fatigue) symptoms in March, and I ultimately had to quit working and move in with my parents in June, as I could barely get around the house. Now, almost 3 months later, I'm feeling...

Further to my meanderings on the vagus nerve, I thought this article may spark some interest in the role the gut plays in fear and tms, and how acknowledging this may lead to either a reduction of or flat-out removal of fear-based conditioning in tms. Here is said link...

I started reading this book about how fear can make you sick and how to unlearn fear: https://www.amazon.com/Fear-Cure-Cultivating-Courage-Medicine/dp/1401944272/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1467747145&sr=1-3&keywords=lissa+rankin It looks like it really punched my ego in a gut, because I...

I have TMS, which manifests mostly as upper back, shoulder and neck pain. ANY exercise of my upper body and I have muscle pain for DAYS after and my mind becomes fixated on the pain with OCD like attention. I vacuumed my apartment and did some cleaning the other day and had soreness for a week...

Wondering if this makes sense: TMS treatment seems to be about combatting the fear that it's structural. For me, the fear is that the pain is permanent, regardless of the cause. Maybe this is why I'm not having much success. I'm not afraid that I'm crumbling into disability. I'm afraid that...
