What is your extinction burst experience?

[JGGenius]

Hi everyone this is my first post here. I've been following the TMS recovery guide from Alan Gordon for a month and a half. It's been up and down from that moment. I have got some success but the pain never completely went away. But now my pain is worst than at the beggining. At first I found it scary but I remembered what Alan talked about having extinction burst. I just didn't thought it could be so intense and long (been like 4 days). Also my back pain who was gone for 8 months has started to come back.

This is very common.

TMS Roundtable has an excellent talk about this:https://www.tmswiki.org/forum/threads/valuable-insights-to-understanding-extinction-bursts-healing-chronic-pain.27211/ (Valuable Insights to Understanding Extinction Bursts & Healing Chronic Pain)

Another great discussion about the how and why of the Symptom Imperative (aka extinction burst) is Nicole Sachs' Season 3 episode 27 podcast episode from March.
