Help with Skin

How do you work to shift skin symptoms?

I will be brief about it. I am struggling with this. I am fair skinned, and have what looks like 3 stretch marks side by side almost like claw marks and together the area is light pinkish but can get darker and lighter from hour to hour and day to day. Always fluctuating. Looking best in the morning. Had it on the other side years ago but it was less defined. What is funny- what finally makes me think TMS- I realized that when I had it on the other side of my body, after about a year and a half, i became distracted by something else on my body that seemed “scarier “. Next thing you know, when that past, I didn’t notice the color or the marks anymore. Hardly there. I feel like this is the same thing again but I cannot figure out how to deal with it without a symptom imperative kicking in.

So what I do for myself….

I see a therapist weekly and have for over a year for OCD. She isn’t versed in Sarno and TMS. She does Accelerated Resolution Therapy, which is similar to emdr. So I have processed many things. We still work with my need to control, perfectionism, good girl/follow the rules, keep people happy, fear issues etc but this is to say this is being dealt with.


I have read a few times The Divided Mind. Albeit it has been a few years. I have read Claire weeks, and I continue to follow mindbody work (Bruce Lipton, Gabor mate etc ). I also follow and listen to the work of Dan Buglio and Alan Gordon.


I will journal when the emotions come up - anger, frustration, fear especially around all of this stuff. It does help calm me down.


When I first joined here, I went through Alan Gordon’s program, got through day 19 of the SEP, and have picked that back up again as of a few days ago.


The skin stuff had shifted in the past and it was when I was distracted by something else on my body. I don’t want that now. I want to shift it without it morphing into something else. Yet I feel I am doing the therapy work.


Based on this, does anything stand out as to what I am missing here? To resolve the TMS? In this case, the skin?


Thank you so much for your time.
