A common stumbling block for many people is figuring out how to put the TMS knowledge to work.

The first step for anyone interested in the TMS approach is to see a TMS practitioner. Only a doctor can rule out serious medical conditions and diagnose you with TMS. To find a practitioner near you, visit Find a TMS Doctor or Therapist.
Have a question about TMS? Check out our Q&A with an Expert section. Some of the most prominent TMS practitioners have posted their responses to common questions our members have asked.
Accepting that your symptoms are benign is key to recovering from TMS. A great way to help you gain confidence in this approach is to read success stories from people who have recovered. The TMS Wiki’s Success Stories Database provides you with hundreds of stories, organized by symptom, all in one place.
In honor of Dr. Sarno's retirement, the PTPN developed the Thank You, Dr. Sarno project, in which we collected personal thank you notes from individuals who have recovered from using this approach. These personal messages can be viewed online at www.thankyoudrsarno.org, and is a great resource to help you gain confidence in this approach.
Education is the key to recovering from TMS. There are a number of books that will help you learn more about this condition and how to get better. Check out our Books and DVDs page for a comprehensive list of books and other materials that can help you overcome your TMS.
