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.- Frustration with TMS recovery process: "I was always fairly open to consider psychosomatic factors but I confess I never thought my back ache episodes of acute pain had anything to do with emotional issues. Since I read Sarno I have recommended his books to family, friends and patients."
- Can chronic plantar fasciitis be TMS: "I read on the site about cases of people with acute PF being cured using the TMS approach, but I am wondering if it is possible for a case as chronic as mine to not be structurally based as well?"
- Childhood and TMS: "I think one of the most difficult things is for people to recognize how their past has affected their life, especially for us TMS goodist. It can take time to dig into how the past has affected people, but if you keep looking, you may find many some things that you didn't expect."
- Somatic Experiencing, from Peter Levine’s Healing Trauma: "I too am aware that I have a tendency to become 'obsessed' with books and information to help me 'find the reason for my pain'. I now aim to move away from Intellectualising and searching for the 'perfect' answer rather than accepting and allowing feelings."
- TMS and motherhood: "Dr. Sarno wrote somewhere that 1/3 of our tension comes from the past, 1/3 of it comes from the present, and 1/3 of it comes from the future. In terms of the present, mothers are under a huge amount of stress to get a million things done and, with the responsibility of parenting, sometime to be "perfect.""
