Hello, I’ve been working on TMS for the past year or so and have improved in my heel, sciatica and shoulder pain but recently I started to have clicking in my neck when I turn it left. There is no pain but I’m clearly obsessed and worried about it. This is still TMS, correct? Treat it the same way as symptom imperative?

Yes. It is another way that TMS is happening in you. Best to ignore it. It will no doubt go away on its own.
Sounds like you're doing really well, so congratulations!

It is very likely to be TMS. As I started recovering, I had clicking sound in my elbows, wrists and fingers. It is all gone now. The more you worry about strange symptoms, the more you are giving into TMS. I had some very, very bizarre symptoms but they all eventually disappeared.

Was your clicking in the bending joints of
the fingers? my thumb joint (ip joint-- the middle one after your knuckle) clicks, grinds and pops whenever I bend it down. This is my last TMS symptom!! It goes away if i rub below it, or if i rest long enough, but always comes back. I've had tension and cracking in my neck that's has gone away with doing the work. This last one is my most elusive. I just have a hard time believing it's tms! Though apart of me knows it is. I even had surgery on the A1 pulley because the MD diagnosed it as 'trigger thumb' bc of the clicking noise. Well the surgery didn't work, and it's still clocking in the ip joint the exact same way as before. My theory if it is tms is that my forearm and hand muscles are unconsciously clenched or tense which somehow is causing friction on the tendon. The friction then causes the clicking in that joint as a point of least resistance. Is this similar to what you were experiencing? Now i'm healing from the surgery ( 7 weeks out) + the original tms symptom. Thanks if you respond really struggling on BELIEF, once i know for certain it's tms the work becomes easy.

Once I stopped worrying about it, it started slowly going away. 8 years into my recovery, I have a slight clicking in my fingers only. It increases when I am stressed out too much, but it doesn't bother me because it does not limit anything I do. It is now much better than back then when I just began recovering. The easiest way to do TMS work is to stop the obsession with symptoms :=).
