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.

  • Should doctors agree on the physiology behind “TMS” (aka “MBS” “PPD” etc): The sense that I get about Dr. Pert's writings is that they could help patients make sense of their pain, but that much more research would have to be done to test the theories before the medical establishment would find them as a credible explanation.

  • Accepting Dr. Sarno’s method: Maybe we really aren't paying attention to Dr. Sarno's method. We are on a frantic search for "the answer" when maybe there simply isn't one. Dr. Sarno never put us on a quest he just gave us the information and sent us home.

  • Could TMS cause lack of sleep?: I think my journal activity has hit the real crutch of my subconscious in last few days. Family stuff has not only brought on insomnia but a slight return of shoulder pain. Took me 28 days to really get into my core issues and i think tms has reacted as should be expected.

  • Why do we argue with our brain?: Absolutely, there are no clear lines between our mind and body; our body and mind are indivisible and it is perfectly appropriate that emotions trigger physical responses, just as physical sensations stir emotional reactions.

  • Using Sarno’s method to treat disc extrusions: It is 3.5 years since my back pain episode, and though I don't journal as much, I do still journal. Got to a point where I journaled (and still do) about forgiveness of myself and others whom I feel "wronged" me. We have years of buried events and feelings in our bodies that don't come out overnight!

ForestForTreesTMS The Running.Com Update 2 Jan 18 2010, 6:11 PM EST by ForestForTreesTMS
Thread started: Jan 18 2010, 3:18 PM EST  Watch
Monte Hueftle has been kind enough to let us post some of his Running.com updates. We will be posting one per week. In his earliest update Monte Hueftle discusses ways in which people can begin to “think clean.” The update, entitled “Three Strategies for Thinking Clean,” offers three steps to help people develop new strategies for “thinking clean.” Monte suggests that positive thinking can have positive impacts on our daily lives and help people overcome TMS pain. After reading Monte’s update I began to wonder if other people have found success in positive thinking. Also, I am interested in how other people practice “thinking clean.” When you are in pain, what strategies do you use to focus your mind on positive thoughts? Monte suggests that focusing on our pain or treatment can prevent us from overcoming TMS. Do you agree with this, and how do you redirect your thoughts from your treatment and pain? Lastly, this update reminds me, in part, to Shad Helmstetter’s book, What to Say When You Talk to Yourself. Has anyone else read that book, and what connections can you make between it and Monte’s latest update? And lastly, does deliberately trying to think positively prevent us from recognizing our suppressed emotions, which are the cause of TMS, and actually prevent us from overcoming TMS? ... or is it possible to do both at the same time?

Below is part of the post. If you want to read a formatted version of the post, you can find it at http://tmswiki.wetpaint.com/page/MonteH%3A+Three+Strategies+for+Thinking+Clean

THREE STRATEGIES FOR THINKING CLEAN:

Your Body Is An Extension of Your Thoughts. This is Truth.

What you think and feel and what you get back are always a match. And so, if you want to get something different, you somehow have to generate different feelings. And you do that with different thoughts.
