Hey guys, my step father is the bread winner of our household. The main issue for him is chronic pain but but, he has real physical trauma. 11 years ago he got into a really bad motorcycle accident which broke his hip/hip socket into quite a number of pieces. He has hip appliances inside him...

One of the hardest parts in this whole mind/body healing is the concept of BELIEF. We hear that we must have 100% belief. Most of the writers of our beloved TMS books spend the majority of the book developing belief, and precious little in the actual “what to do” portion. Why? Because belief...

Or does fixing it not work unless you resolve the trauma as well? For example, you live with narcissist family and there is nonsense 24/7 that stresses you out. Does just REALIZING this result in the pain going away, or do you have to actually fix the situation for it to go away?

No matter where you are in the journaling process, beginner or seasoned vet, you’re going to find it helpful to look for patterns. Patterns might include repeated themes, repeated self talk, repeated emotions, or repeated thoughts. These patterns then, can give you breakthrough moments of...

I have expanded the amount of activities I can do despite symptoms, but my illness has not improved. Actually, things have gone downhill despite me making some positive life changes to cut out stressors. I have become increasingly aware of the fact that I never feel safe or relaxed, not even...

Greetings everyone, I haven’t logged on here in a while, but I wanted to make this post because I believe it will help some of you. Let me first give a brief outline of the path that led me to the main insight I want to share. When I first discovered mindbody medicine 5 years ago, I invested...

I came across this article from Self Magazine earlier today. I wish we had a way to reach her! Warning: This story includes discussions of sexual assault. Lady Gaga on How Her Rape, Pregnancy, and Trauma Led to Chronic Pain “Your body remembers,” she said. By Sarah Jacoby Lady Gaga shed...

Once again, I'm here to remind people to check out two TMS podcasts: "The Cure For Chronic Pain with Nicole Sachs LCSW", and "The Mind and Fitness Podcast" with Eddy Lindenstein (aka @LindenSwole) Nicole and Eddy have both had some amazing episodes lately. Last Friday's episode from Nicole...

Hurt my hands in a massage 11 months ag0; n0 broken bones Same thing happened 2 days ag0; slammed my hands hard into my floor killing bugs Seems like my hands never recovered from either incident--pain, weaknesses, nerve damaged, fingers mangled Thoughts ? Thanks !

Just thought of this and wondered if it's possible: I never directly experienced a TMS-causing trauma that I can think of. But my family, like great-grandparents and beyond, went through all sorts of awful things before emigrating to the US. I'm wondering if those traits of fear, PTSD, and...

Urgh, so teary and depressed today. I feel so stuck and am beginning to wonder if certain types of TMS are simply incurable. Mine is due to a trauma response. I've had variations of TMS since childhood due to growing up with an emotionally abusive narcissistic mother. She set it off again about...

I'm deviating from posting on my usual thread as I actually need a bit of support rather than recording for myself what's going on. I am truly scared right now. If you've read my thread, you'll know I'm in counselling and doing yoga to release trapped trauma, which I thought was all due to my...

Thought this article may be of some interest to the athletes on the Forum. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/09/180907110447.htm (Emotional scars increase the risk of sports injury)

Thought this event would be of interest to some here. There is a good range of speakers including Gabor Maté and Peter Levine, as well as many other brilliant and compassionate healers and therapists. The summit runs from 4th June and lasts for 10 days during which there are 24 sessions. It's a...

The pieces of the puzzle are fitting together, big-time! It’s a litle long, but a valuable read that explains when and how FM and CFS is triggered, (Trauma), how the sympathetic nervous system gets ramped up and put on hyperdrive, which then sets up TMS in adulthood. Here’s some excerpts I...

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and had a chance to reflect on what you can be grateful for. Let's consider what research has found are the many benefits of giving thanks: 1. Grateful people experience fewer aches and pains and they report feeling healthier than other...
