repressed feelings or emotions

i have recently come off anti-depressants and have been feeling very low so i was thinking of trying to go back on them. However i was just wondering whether it might be good in terms of tms recovery to stay off them so that i feel my painful emotions more? i hope this makes sense. any advice...

Hi everyone, I had received some email requests for further information regarding my existential therapy approach to - and interpretation of - PPD/TMS pain. As a result, I decided to dedicate this week's podcast to explaining the role of existential anxiety in the development of PPD/TMS...

So there are 3 main aspects to my TMS symptoms; joint stiffnes, anxiety/OCD, and chronic fatigue. The first two are relatively straightforward when it comes to challenging them; just do it; DO things that hurt especially when you know it is TMS, DO things that cause anxiety. not easy at all...

thanks to everyone whose replied to my other posts. I guess im still worrying whether i can undo my conditioning to expect and therefore have pain in certain positions/activities and whether I can uncover my repressed emotions as i seem to be having trouble doing this. I think it would be...

I have had depression for a number of years and i hide this from many people: my house mates, even though there quite good friends one is a psychiatric nurse and 1 is depressed herself. I have never told my best friends from university either. I have lived in London for the past few years and...

I have read Healing Back Pain and read and listened to quite a bit about TMS and it makes sense, but my main fear is that I won’t be able to overcome my repressed emotions or address them in whatever way is necessary to stop the pain. I know some people recover just by reading the book but as...

Hi All, I have a good friend who is offering a 30 day on-line art therapy group, which helps participants explore their needs, their creativity, and their life, their feelings. It is the feelings part that especially struck me, since art is a way to feel, quite beyond words... Delaine Dew, the...

I’ve noticed that pretty much everything I’m afraid of falls into one of the following four categories: A. Things that almost certainly won’t happen B. Things that wouldn’t be so bad if they did happen C. A & B D. Death Out of these four possibilities, death is the only one that...

After spending a lot of time in therapy I know all of my pain is due to anxiety although my life is pretty awesome right now which means that a lot of my stress is due to repressed emotions. What can I say to my brain if my current life is really good now?

Hi, When I write down my emotional pains or pressures, I feel like anger might be the reason for this TMS. Do I have to be just aware of that anger, for example if I find out that I am angry on at my father, do I have to just know about it? I can't express that anger towards my father. Do I...

It's been a challenging week in my home. And then some stupid minor incident set me off on a thermal nuclear event. The next day I joked with my friend about the ole straw that broke the camel's back. (In this case, it was my teen rolling her eyes at me, for those of you wondering.) I told...

Now that I have your attention...

I am very new to this TMS stuff, however not new to the idea of there being an emotional component to my chronic headaches and neck pain (and over the past year now shoulder and arm pain have cropped up...nice!). Last Summer, I finally realized that nothing I tried ever worked because the cause...

Hi everyone, I had kind of a setback last week after having a GREAT week the week before... Last weekend was a rough one for me emotionally due to a discussion that came up with a friend of mine. The work week was also more hectic than usual with a lot of very detail-oriented tasks that I am...
