KathyBee, I agree that we can get a lot of help dealing with our TMS pain from many healing techniques. I've found them all worth trying.
I may never really know which technique got me pain-free, but one or more of them did.
I really believe that asking God to help heal me was a big factor for me in my back pain healing. I had several years of anger at my Catholic Church for covering up priest pedophilia and becoming so political. Reading PAIN FREE FOR LIFE, I took the advice of Dr. Scott Brady and made peace with my church. I began to feel better right away. You don't have to go back to your old faith. Go forward on the spiritual path you are on now. I believe everyone prays to one God, no matter what church we go to. But I hope you will practice forgiving and letting go. If it applies to you old faith, forgive and let go. There's nothing quite like the peace that comes from it.
On the subject of faith, I've been working on some TMS in pop culture examples and posted two today. I hope you can take a look at that posting started by Steve Ozanich. Maybe you can think of examples to add.
Have a great day.
