healing tms

Sarno said our TMS brain is trying to keep us from having to feel our rage. But if you look closely, he also named grief as one of those other strong emotions we avoid. I’m following a new mentor (in addition to all of you!), who nearly died and was hospitalized from more than 100 TMS symptoms...

Hi everyone! My name is Christina, I’m from Austria and I’m a MIBOBA (MindBodyBalance) Coach. Together with my team, I work with people who are dealing with TMS – based on the work of Dr. John Sarno. I’d love to connect with people from Germany and Austria to hear their healing stories and...

One of the initial doubts I had about TMS was the emphasis on belief. I couldn’t accept this as central to the treatment because, in my mind, if the diagnosis was correct and the treatment worked, what does belief have to do with it? I even wondered if TMS was just another new-age healing cult...

This is the most significant chapter of my life. I wish I could even say what all has changed in the 6 short months since I came here. Your friendship and guidance have brought about powerful changes in me. I honestly wouldn’t be where I am without you. Saying merely “Thank you” could never be...

Figuring out that self-consciousness and embarrassment are a big aspect of my TMS. I’m embarrassed to let my grown kids see how weak I am (can’t walk well due to symptoms.) I’m embarrassed to let friends see me. I’m embarrassed to let neighbors see me. I’m even embarrassed around my husband...

Yesterday I had a hideous day. I dunno. The blues sunk in. I even wondered if I’m dying. (Pretty dramatic!) I only admit this because I want you to know I believe you when you wonder —how can I get on with my life when I’m in pain or a have a symptom that drives me nuts? The experts say “just...

Hi everyone, Welcome, if you’re new! And *thank you,* to all the old timers on this wiki, who have helped me —and are still helping me—so much! HUGE breakthrough in psychotherapy for me today! I’ve been in Internal Family Systems psychotherapy (recommended by TMS experts) for 3 years —to...

Ok, so first off: I vote to not see a neurologist. Am I right? So today, I timidly stuck my foot down the rabbit hole by going to a PT (recommended by my primary care doc for deconditioning (ie. Being really out of shape). I knew this was a risky move for my sanity, but I’ve never been to a PT...

I really want people to get better. I wouldn't hang out on this forum after all of these years If I didn't, but virtually every time I read a question on here the first 'answer' I think is "Go and read the F--ng Book" "But I read the book" Yeah...like a Novel. Go and make it YOUR story. And...

Hi everybody! Daniel Lyman here. I'm a licensed pain therapist and have been active on the wiki for many years now. I recently opened a group therapy/coaching practice dedicated to helping people overcome TMS/Chronic symptoms. Our group practice is called the Mind Body Therapy Center. Check out...

Ongoing anger is an absolute block to moving forward and living a truly enjoyable life. You are stuck to past. As anger is a reflection of higher elevations of stress hormones, sustained levels of them will also make you sick. The list of stress-related diseases is long and they are serious. The...
