Hey everyone! My name is Joey. I am 28 years young. For as long as I can remember (I can remember lol) (11 years) I’ve had pain in my neck. Specifically the left anterior side. (Scalene, SCM muscle). It started then, around the age of 17-18, as I graduated high school and began my college...

Hi not sure if this the right forum to post in, just wondered if there are any TMS therapists that work with psychedelics, I know you might not want to reply here so please email me at ekarslake@yahoo.com if you prefer thanks a lot.

Hello everybody! My name is Daniel G Lyman, LCSW (longtime contributor here on the TMS wiki) and I'm proud to announce the opening of the brand new Mind Body Therapy Center. Here at MBTC, we are a treatment center focused on helping people overcome chronic pain / TMS. Learn more about our...

Hi there, I'm wondering if anyone knows of any trained TMS therapists that are able to work virtually with someone in South Carolina. (Unfortunately, the practitioner directory here doesn't list any for SC, and the way licensing is I don't see any that would be able to work with me from out of...

I mostly lurk here, but occasionally post. I find myself in what I'm pretty sure is a major TMS episode. Bad cold produces terrible coughing fit produces epic back spasm: and I'm off to the races. I've had major TMS several times over the decades and minor incidents many times. I even had one...

For a dozen years or more, I've struggled with pain. Pain in my back, pain in my hips from bursitis after many years of working on my feet, but more recently, pain that has disrupted my life to the point of thinking I would not be able to work anymore. I've consulted my physician many times, had...

Hi, I used to do PT (and chiropractor, acupuncture, massage etc) last year till I found the TMS program last summer and gradually waned off of all doctor treatments/visits. Now, I came across a couple of physical therapists who are trained in neuroscience/mind-body connection and have...

Hi, can anyone recommend a good tms therapist who does skype sessions? I come from europe, tms is not yet fully recognized in my country. I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyialgia. There is a multidisciplinary therapy available but I have to wait 2 years to get in. Thank you!

Has anyone tried mirror therapy for back pain? I came across this article about it, and it makes a lot of sense for helping to reduce fear of movement. Think it can be done without a physical therapist? Can it support TMS work...

EVERYONE IS WELCOME! Hi all, this is the first of a semi-regular weekly Group Therapy Video Chat I am hosting (I am NOT a therapist or a doctor). The first one will be tomorrow, July 12th @ 5pm PT|6pm MT| 7pm CT|8pm ET. This will be recorded for the benefit of others but if anything comes up...

I would say I have healed 97% from my pelvic pain sometimes it comes up rarely but I know exactly what it is and it subsides fairly quickly. However, since healing that pain I have had symptom substitutions left and right! From OCD to bloating to anxiety and When a new thing comes up when I...

Hi all, I wanted to let you know that the Pain Psychology Center has two MSW interns, Victoria and Shira, who currently have availability for Skype therapy. They charge 65 per session, and come from the same approach outlined in the Pain Recovery Program. If you're interested in working with...

Please let me know of anyone's experience of the process and journey of TMS recovery along with tapering of the opiate pain meds. I have been on the pain meds and became physically dependent after my two unsuccessful surgeries which only made the symptom MUCH worse. On my own initiative, I...

My chronic pain started after an infection and an injury. It did not come out of the blue. Yet it stayed. The injury is too small to be detected by modern medicine, which gives me hope. I want to do the TMS treatment right. As I understand it, it is about expressing your emotions. Before...

I had quite a breakthrough with my therapist today that I wanted to share with you all. As you know I have been doing with TMS for the last 20+ years, and never understanding why or what triggered it. Today, in therapy, I talked about my youngest daughter wanting to move out of the house for...

I'm a couple weeks into the Structured Educational Program, and a lot of journal writing has helped me recognize the changes in my life since my chronic pain began. One change I noticed was my listening habits. Music had been a huge part of my life since childhood. I enjoyed finding new artists...

Hi everyone I found this lying around in my mums house. It's the most recent issue of Therapy Today in the UK. Nothing groundbreaking for anyone who knows about TMS, but still interesting to see articles like this. They seem to have taken Sarno's ideas and repackaged it, and can be added to...
