TMS Discussion Threads
The following is a list of links to some of the better discussions from our old forum. However, we encourage you tovisit our new foruminstead.

  • After initial recovery from Sarno’s TMS, experiencing pain again: The more I was active the more confidence I had in all aspects of my live. I really think the idea of getting our lives back is a very empowering part of recovering from TMS and keeping us motivated to continue our TMS treatment.

  • TMS relapse - sciatic pain: It appears you have a lot on your mind that would clearly cause anxiety and repressed emotions. Fear is a very strong thing. It can cause all sorts of problems. Faith is the opposite of fear. Have faith that you can feel better. What sorts of TMS recovery steps have you tried?

  • An email from Journaling Expert Susan Derozier: I recently received the following message from Susan Derozier, who instructs classes on therapeutic journaling and wrote the book Therapeutic Journaling. "Dear Forest, I was pleased to discover your site and note my book mentioned on it.”

  • Hesitations about journaling: Did any of you hesitate before starting to write a journal? I read about journalling a year ago and it has taken me this long, umpteen migraines and another bout of sciatica to get me started finally.

  • Key phrases/pep talks that have helped people: Was diagnosed with TMS and have been writing, reading, etc for months with little or no relief. I have recently began seeing a Sarno therapist who is wonderful, but I am still in pain and struggling with the day to day pep talks that I need to say to myself especially when I have a flare up.

Being that I'm not a contributor to this site's content, I can only respectfully offer this thought. I apologize in advance if you feel it is not the place for such things and I accept whatever your decisions may be.

I learned from a very wise person one time that, in bringing up negative personality traits about yourself or anyone else, that it's important to not identify with it. It's important to recognize the Truth of the matter, that YOU are not those negative habits. Those negative habits are just what you have been choosing to experience. By saying, "I am X," is saying that you are one with that negative trait and you're stuck with it. But anyone who is versed in any kind of inner work knows better, that our behaviors and perceptions are infinitely malleable. To say instead, then, "I have been behaving like X" is much more empowering, liberating, and self-respectful.

Just my $0.02 on today's topic. It irked me a bit that this day suggested we write "I am a..." in any kind of a negative way. Because I feel that's an affirmation, not a catharsis.

Nevertheless, this structured education continues to impress me with its thoughtful organization of very useful tools.
