    I have been on this TMS/MBS for about a year now, but have "tried" to heal and never really "let go". I am the prototypical TMS'r - constant pressure on myself, worrier, obsessive, high achiever, "grinder", always need a project to work on, always in my head pushing myself, the need to be accepted, impatient, and I hold my feelings in. Where I have fallen short over the past year is I have been TMSing about TMS! I put so much pressure on myself to heal that I was clogging the process, but the light finally went off a few weeks ago... I am not healing because I am trying so hard to heal; I'm watching the clock; I am obsessing about the process and my pain. Now I am embarking on the SEP program with a whole new perspective. I am going to do this program just for fun...no pressure or worry.

    Hi, jrid,. You finally got it! Don't pressure yourself in anything, and for sure not in how fast you heal in TMS.
    Breathe deeply and keep positive. Just relax and keep thinking the pains are from your emotions and they are not structural.
