rage

I just had an experience yesterday with some colleagues at my work that made me quite literally internally enraged. I’m trying to understand how to process this in a fashion recommended for those of us with TMS. I have expressed my rage to a friend and my wife. I have journal about it. Is...

Hi, as you all know I recover from chronic pain, 16 years ago, and have a big relapse this year. This relapse made me understand TMS, in a way, that we can attribute all chronic pain to inner rage. Maybe this simplifys everything. Lete explain. 16 years ago, my son was born, I immediately...

I am feeling very defeated right now. I recently started working with a therapist, specializing in PRT (by Alan Gordon) for a very painful and visible skin flushing all over my body. I have read all the books (Sarno, Dan Buglio, Alan Gordon, etc.) and needed help digesting/implementing all the...

I've started this thread as an 'overflow' from another thread because I was going off topic. Below I've quoted @Diana-M from that other thread, and what follows is my response, which she advised me she found helpful and of some comfort. When I deleted my posting I thought I hadn't saved the...

Hello everyone, it seems strange, but I know exactly what my rage is about. I used to have chronic pain due to endometriosis (my bladder was grown into my ovary) and after the surgery I woke up with tingling limbs. Still my legs burn a lot, tingle, and I have a feeling of pressure. I can’t...

Well, yes, the symptom imperative has been playing with me almost since the beginning! I still have my biggest issues in place, but I do think they are a little better. But as I shared on another thread, I had my first big exception the night before last when the body aches left me for an hour...

I often heard on this forum and other books on TMS that it's difficult to ascertain what are the hidden emotions behind the rage within the subconscious. I was reading about Carl Jung notion of the shadow which is, in Sarno's talk, the ID. The unconscious, repressed aspects of the personality...

Hello, TMS Wiki Forum Members (whew), It's been nearly two years since I posted (I've been a member for eight and healed from decades of chronic pain), and boy-oh-boy, has TMS reared its ugly (well, protective) head! Warning: Long Here's the story: Nine months ago, my 82-year-old father left...

I’ve been in therapy (this time) for 3 years. I began this therapy because I was reading Sarno and doing all his advice, with nothing happening. So I decided I was one of the unlucky few he mentions who will need therapy. The therapy I am getting is called Internal Family Systems (IFS). The...

Just finished reading Willard Gaylin MD's magnificent The Rage Within: Anger in Modern Life (1984), one of the self-acknowledged source books for Dr Sarno's TMS theory. Needless to say Gaylin provided Dr Sarno with the idea of rage repressed into the unconscious that becomes an unconscious...

Hi all, I'm wondering your thoughts on anger and rage that you don't feel you are suppressing but still feels like it is causing or contributing to symptoms? I'm speaking specifically of a major world event and watching a friend on social media take a side that is angering me and frustrating...

A curious thing has been occurring lately. I have been having dreams where I absolutely lay into my mother. Screaming and pointing in her face, telling her harsh terrible things…all around reacting in a way that my awake conscious self would NEVER. And often for minor transgressions in the...

Hey All I read that our brain is protecting us from rage in unconscious mind by producing pain. I am trying to understand what is it is trying to protect us from? Hypothetically, if the rage keeps growing in unconscious mind, what happens if there is no such thing thet brain distracts us from...

There, I said it. Will acknowledging this rage make me better? Probably not.

My kids are like 4 and 1.5 years old. Since October they have been sick 65% of the weeks and me too. It's been several stomach flues throwing up, its been 2 severe flue/cold with 104F (40C) fevers several days on the whole family and various other colds. I have had two sinusitis following the...

At times I wonder if TMS-oriented podcasters/practitioners are scared to say "There are no guarantees.... You may never get better." I reflect on this as someone who has gotten somewhat better. Some symptoms have disappeared. Others are the same or slightly worse after 3 1/2 yrs of delving into...

According to Dr. Sarno the role of repressed, unfelt, unbearable, "incorrect" rage is paramount in the genesis of TMS. Closely related: https://drsoph.com/blog/where-does-anger-come-from-the-two-main-reasons-you-may-feel-angry (Where Does Anger Come From? The three Main Reasons You Feel Angry...

Hi I’ve had daily back pain for over 4 years. Got another MRI planned in January but the scan two years ago was clear, nothing to report. I am journaling and meditating. My back pain is worse in bed and morning. It’s actually worst in my sides just beneath the rib cage, I wake up every day...
