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.

  • Scheduled for surgery, but it could be TMS: Our belief system can be extremely powerful, so it might be worth asking yourself ' What do I believe is going to help me get better' This is where the placebo effect of surgery can come in if for example you believe that need to have an operation in order to get better.

  • Any phrases, affirmations that help others recover?: When I had flare ups I just used to say stuff like this: "Right, there's nothing wrong with me physically, I KNOW that, so what's going on emotionally...work?...family?...finances?"...etc? Until I'd hit on something and suspect it might be that.

  • Any advice on dealing with acute sciatic pain: I do understand that my lingering symptom is TMS, I do not believe it's physical, I journal every few days, I see a therapist and read about TMS and have finally taken more time on the site here and the other TMS help site to read others' stories and yet, there has been no improvement whatsoever.

  • Most effective ways to approach repressed emotions: I imagined myself just YELLING at my dad & stepmother for the way they've treated my siblings and I. I think it helped! I've shifted my TMS approach from “hell-bent-for-leather" to a more conservative "let's slowly expand on pushing my physical limits."

  • TMS and parenting: The adult you cares for her very deeply and knows that she is doing her (5 year old) best, but your own *inner* child doesn't get that. So you have this frustration, what Sarno might call rage, but you can't do anything with it.

His ideas are fine with me. And I appreciate what he's done with writing those blogs to help people out. But something about his writing style, the way he sequences and paces his thoughts, really doesn't work for me personally. I apologize I can't explain it better, but I just feel like he makes it seem much more complex (and confusing) than it has to be. It's not that I can't follow him. I just really didn't want to. In all honesty, it feels like a chore reading that stuff. But nonetheless I really like the idea of getting education from a variety of strong sources such as himself.

Hi All, I'm new, and going through the educational programme. I believed following and understanding the TMS info in the Mid Body Prescription helped me cure myself of RSI in both wrists about 12 months ago. So now i'm trying to use the same strategy to rid myself of my constant headaches, and frequent migraines. I have just written my first journalling exercise, but found it difficult to concentrate and remain focused on past events enough to draw out my thoughts. I feel that I am now post analysing thoughts and over emphasising some aspects whilst forgetting others. I worry that this means I wont get the benefits but i've thought about all these events so much in the last few months that the potential repressed emotions are perhaps all mingling and being added because of what i've learnt about TMS. Anybody else experiencing this type of feeling??!!

efyl The Activity Question Odd for me 1 Jul 14 2011, 2:04 PM EDT by ForestForTreesTMS

I find the last question, the one about activities a bit odd. The activities I really enjoy doing are ones that are stress, anxiety and worry free. That is, perhaps why I enjoyed doing them. That said, I could say that hiking is one of my favorite activities but that there are kind of low-level worries or fears due to past pain. Anyway, it seems to me that there are things that I might enjoy doing if they didn't involve stress, anxiety or worrying--perhaps that's a better question for me to ask myself.
