Wiki is a bunch of empty space for me. Was gonna do SEP day 22 but cant get on.

You can see some background on my pain at https://www.tmswiki.org/forum/threads/at-the-end-of-my-rope-with-sciatica-piriformis-syndrome.29563/ I am beginning the Structured Education Program (SEP) because I have only gotten 80% better and I want to be 100% better. Also, I retired at the...

Hi all, I wanted to get people’s thoughts on the SEP versus the PRP? I’m finally going to start doing some proper TMS work and not sure which of these two programmes to start with. Thanks

I have noticed there is a difference between regular pain and TMS pain. The pains I fear most are always associated with intense emotions. For example, when I eat gluten I feel intense anger and pain. Not only do I notice the emotional connection, though also wonder if that’s where the allergy...

So, I've decided to revisit SEP as I've been a bit worried lately because it's nearly the one-year anniversary of me experiencing extreme pain in both legs that really affected my mobility. Although I recognise that I'm in a much better place and I actually know what causes my pain now, I did...

I started the SEP program just 2 days ago and it's funny how the brain works. I'm doing it mainly for low grade fatigue and tension headaches. I already recovered from chronic dizziness two years ago and when my dizziness went away, i went through a month where my legs would just get so hot...

Hi everyone, I'm back on the SEP while my therapist is away for a couple of weeks. Today I wrote an unsent letter to the effing incompetent optometrist who caused me so much trouble with my eyes. What an a**hole. (Usually I don't swear, but I find swearing in therapeutic situations...

Hi! What if you miss a day (like I did day 1 and then the next day missed day 2), do you start all over?

hi all, I just want to report that I have finished the SEP at the weekend. I have learned a lot during this time and I am so grateful for all the support that you provided for me. This is really an amazing place and I am really happy I found you all. Thanks again a lot to all of you! I am a...

Hey everyone! Today is the last day in the SEP for me and I wanted to let y'all know how grateful I am to all of you. I seriously could not have done this without your encouragement, your friendship, and your gentle prodding. I would say say that I am 99% better. I plan to do Kristen Neff's...

Write a forum post on how you are doing so far, and what apprehensions you may have about this treatment or your life in general. I'm starting to feel like I can feel my feelings. It's becoming more commonplace to pull myself away from thinking about pain to checking in on my body, my brain...

I was wondering if anyone has done both the TMS Wiki Structural Education Programme and used Dr Schubiner's 'Unlearn Your Pain' 28 day workbook? If so, I'd appreciate knowing whether they are very similar or approach things from a different angle and, if so, in what general/main ways they...

Hi everyone, I first did the TMS Wiki SEP a few years ago, to help me overcome my chronic back/shoulder pain. I also had Fibromyalgia and CFS/ME for a few years. This year my neuropathic pain (associated with the Fibromyalgia) went away, so I've been slowly tapering off all the medications for...

I started on the SEP more than a month ago, did a couple of days, had houseguests for a week, got distracted, felt pretty good, thought maybe I didn't need to do the SEP after all. Then Wham! Major setback pain-wise. Okay, so maybe I should do the SEP after all. Today I am on Day 9. I'm...

What a difference 6 weeks can be....6 weeks ago, life was pretty grey..I was physically and mentally sick.....Besides obsessing over my back and hip pain(which has gone on for 5.5 years), I had a cloud of depression over me which is hard to describe. On the outside, everything was great. Big...

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...
