I completely agree with TMS syndrome, but it's hard for me not to think about the physical pain, but I'm trying. I've been struggling with SI joint pain for 4 months now and I know I don't want to be afraid of this pain. I want to face my repressed emotions. My pain started a week after I ended a toxic relationship with a person who was destroying me emotionally. I'm very angry with him, but the memories of those bad times really upset and anger me. I'm trying to accept them.

There's a very subtle difference in how acceptance and forgiveness take place when we're doing this work. Accepting or forgiving the behavior and the harm inflicted upon you is not required! The truth is that the actions and behavior that you endured are not acceptable and do not need to be forgiven. What you do need to accept is that it's okay for you to have all of your emotions around what happened. And you absolutely must forgive yourself. You may choose to eventually forgive the individual because he has his own issues and problems and is clearly mentally unhealthy. But you do not have to forgive him, ever. Focus on self compassion and self forgiveness. You need to love yourself enough to accept that you deserve to recover and heal.
