What next

[Bob]

After having no pain relief from reading the books doing the programs or journaling I decided to contact a TMS doctor, after a thirty min phone call it was suggested that because of my traumatic events and no pain relief some counselling and guidance would be beneficial, I think this would really help me but there is no way I could afford the cost and living in the uk there are not many other TMS doctors available, has anyone got some ideas on what I can do next, I still believe in the TMS theory but running out of ways that I can help myself.

Hi Bob,

Have you looked into the Pain Psychology Center? I believe they have Skype counseling and some reduced rates available: http://www.painpsychologycenter.com/index.html (Pain Psychology Center)
