TMS Discussion ThreadsThe following is a list of links to some of the better discussions from our old forum. However, we encourage you tovisit our new foruminstead.- Why do some people not get on with Dr Sarno’s method?: "It has occurred to me that the usual Sarno method, the approach that has helped so many people, just may be counter-productive for this ‘tail' of people who don't make progress because of the very personality traits that Dr Sarno has identified as typifying TMS sufferers!"
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and TMS: "OCD is a way of controlling your external environment, a behavior which often occurs as a means of compensation when you're feeling internally out of control (or stress). Just like physical pain, it's attempting to get you to "buy in" to it."
- Michael Brown’s Presence Process: "PP taught me that emotional reactions to situations are learned, and once we recognize this, we can work on responding consciously rather than reacting unconsciously to situations. In other words the PP helped me to understand “Why does this keep happening to me?” And how to do something about it."
- Is my back surgery necessary?: "Don't talk to people about the physical, I'll be honest I don't even read what people write about that stuff, I just skim over it because even reading stuff like that can trigger back pain in me, so try and stay away from conversations like that, they fuel the FEAR and feed TMS."
- Frustrating relapse from TMS: "It's the person's belief & it's the conditioned Sarno belief that repressed emotions are the reason people are not reversing TMS. Most important factor in reversing TMS is 100% acceptance & following through on that acceptance with confidence & conviction."
