I just wanted to share this video of Dr. Schubiner. He states things I've read a million times, but for me it was just so much more convincing. I feel like it took me from 95% convinced of TMS as my RSI issues to 100%. For the first time my pain subsided while actually using a computer. That experience removes the fear of the pain for me because I'm now confident I can make that happen again.

This recovery process isn't linear in any fashion for me. It's not instant. There have been relapses, but overall I am recovering. I guess I just pictured it differently from the books and success stories I've read.

Hope others find it helpful.
 
the reign of pain lies mainly in the brain

we should make a poster of that... :)

@joe I believe that doctors who write books experience that the majority of their patients get better quite soon. The experience I have on this forum is that this isn't the case for people who didn't get a diagnosis and/or treatment by a TMS doctor.
I see two possible explanations: 1) people who get better quickly by just reading one or two books usually don't apply on this forum , 2) we shouldn't underestimate the impact a TMS-diagnosis by a doctor can have on your brain.

I think it's the fact that he's dedicated his career to this and is educating others about it with such confidence. That was very convincing for me.

I totally agree, and that is why I am enlisting the help of a TMS doctor, so I can completely heal. I was hoping I would be one of the book healers, and that I could do it on my own. Alas, that is not the case, so I have major hope that my brain will finally accept this diagnosis and heal. ;)
 
I'm now just soaking up the material I can find online about the leaders in TMS treatment each day. It is probably the most effective thing I have found yet. It's seeming silly to me to consider anything physical anymore. I've certain had some very strange pain and other sensations in places unrelated to my RSI symptoms. I feel like that must be more TMS or the symptom imperative, and I have no trouble ignoring them. They go away. The RSI symptoms are still there in some capacity, but I'm not feeling afraid now. I just reinforce that each day with youtube videos and/or the TMS Wiki which may as well just be a biography about me.
 
The idea that chronic pain is fear-driven seems to be at the center of Howard's presentation. I would concur.
 
@Jules I totally healed my RSI pain on my own after reading one page of this forum!

But my headaches, dizziness, tiredness etc. came on even stronger after I realised they might also be TMS.

I struggled to come up with a plan I could stick to. I would start the SEP and then read a post where someone said journalling didn't help them. So I'd try something else and then read another post that said journalling is the key etc. I got myself in a muddle. So now I'm seeing Georgie Oldfield over Skype. It's been 2 weeks. Right now I am seeing little bits of progress here and there. But nothing spectacular. I think I'm falling into the trap of watching the calendar and comparing myself to people who recover in one week.

But it's been helpful because I have a clear program to follow. And I'm confident it's going to work for me in the long run.

I'm an extremely analytical person, and I've realised also a very very negative thinker. So I know it's going to take a while to convince my brain and for me to re-program my thinking almost.

But I'm going to get there! And so are you x
