Emotional Release

Hi everyone - I've had 'fibromyalgia' for two years which I now know is TMS/MBS. I've been seeing a therapist for about 18 months (although I only realised I had TMS/MBS about a month ago). Yesterday I had a huge emotional release during the session with her and surprise surprise on the way home my shoulders/arms starting hurting a lot more and that night I had a huge flare up of vulvaldynia (gone this morning). My mind is obviously trying extra hard to distract me!

 

Hi Marymouse,
Yes. TMS symptoms tend to respond to emotional release, either increasing or decreasing. So you have support for your diagnosis and TMS work.

Yep, like Andy said! I had a similar reaction at the outset of healing. Try not to be too impressed by it (hard, I know) and know that it will pass.

 

Thank you both for your replies/support.

 

It is called extinction burst - quite normal.
