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.- 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."
- Past tailbone injury, or Sarno’s TMS?: "Jayne, 'stirring up your anxiety' is exactly the reason why you should not be hesitant to journal. I understand the fear, though, but in fact it is what will help you get relief. Writing things out, in spite of discomfort, emotional outbursts or fear help me."
- Anger and compassion: "The more angry people get with their symptoms, or the more frustrated they get with their lack of progress, the worse things can get. Reduce any inner conflict, be kind to yourself, accept the emotional cause and explore what is underlying the symptoms."
- 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."
- 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.""
