Boston TMS Support Group

[didi sharp]

Sounds Great! I would love to actually meet someone in person that has TMS, that would make it more real for me : ) A Seattle Support Group would be awesome but I have not found one person who claims to have it, in town. I guess I am a pioneer out here in the west!

Hi everyone,

We're starting an in-person support group for TMSers in the Boston area. So far, it's me, Forest, and two others. If you're in the area and would like to join us, please send me a message.

The purpose of the meetings is to

1. start building an active community of Boston TMSers and
2. learn from one another by helping build connections between people who are recovering from PPD/TMS and those who have already recovered.

The first meeting will be held on Thursday, July 19 at 7pm at Cafe Andala in Cambridge, MA.

Address
286 Franklin St
Central Square
Cambridge, MA 02139

hi - I notice the orginal post about the meeting was from 3 years ago. How did it go?

Do you guys still meet up i the boston area? If so when is the next meeting?

I live in California but I visit Boston to see my pappa

It was a great group and I really enjoyed it, making two great friends. We, unfortunately, became victims of our own success - Veronica had healed and eventually wasn't willing to run the group. I ran it for maybe 5 more sessions, but for financial reasons I found that I needed to spend the limited time I have on the most high-impact projects like the forum and the work I do organizing TMS practitioners. If anyone else is thinking of organizing one, I definitely enjoyed the part I played. I've also set up a mailing list for people who are organizing TMS communities. There hasn't been much traffic, but I bet if someone asked a question, people would respond.

An in-person TMS support group sounds great. Every town and city ought to have one. The meetings can be held at someone's home, rotating the visits, or at a coffee shop or even the local library.

A good way to start one is to contact your local newspaper feature or lifestyle editor and tell them you want to contact others to start one.
It can spread the word about Dr. Sarno, TMS, and the TMSWiki, and help local people who are in pain. Doctors may hate you,
for taking business away from them, but who cares?

Totally agree, Walt.

That's terrific, @Helenback! If you would like to start one in Portland, I'd be happy to help you with starting up an online presence. If you ever want to, you are also always 100% welcome to call or email with any questions you come up with. I can't do any additional organizing right now, but I'm always happy to share my perspective on TMS organizing over the phone or Skype.

Thanks Forest!
I just might take you up on that... Once we move to the planning stage!
Love this TMS support group!
