post traumatic stress disorder - ptsd

Hi, Three months ago, one of my lower molar tooth fell down. I immediately felt something on my throat. A strange sensation that is still here. Now it is more in the area of my apple's Adam. It eases when I cry, or when I drink coffee, which I love, or if I feel the warmth of the people I...

Hi everyone, Did anyone have an excessive amount of anxiety during the pandemic that could possibly have caused PTSD? Do you think it has caused any lingering rage that could be contributing to your TMS symptoms? The reason I ask is I’m starting to realize that might be the case for me. All...

These are some limited excerpts from a new article in National Geographic . What I find interesting is that this article talks about a device, but we know that there are breathing exercises for vagus nerve stimulation, which are specifically designed to reduce anxiety, so as you read this...

After a harrowing 42 hours, the nurse found she was laying sideways, her head on my bladder. They turned her ans 15 minutes later, I went from a 6-10 and she...

Hi Everyone. I'm on Day 5 of the SEP program and just finished reading the bit about PTSD and I guess I'm looking for clarification. In the PTSD description it states "While PTSD can cause physical symptoms such as chronic pain, this program may not be the best treatment for you. Treating PTSD...

Hi TMS Therapists, I've been learning and implementing from the audio sessions and Dr. Sarno's books since a month or two ago and I feel like my inner tension is getting better and I'm aware of all the pressure I put on myself to be perfect & good and how angry it makes me/pain symptoms. I'm...

Hello everyone, I thought I would share with you this exceptional TED talk from Danna Pycher. Donna overcame chronic fatigue, fibromialgia and PTS thanks to hypnosis therapy, and then became a renowned hypnotherapist herself, helping many people to heal by working on their subonscious minds...
