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.- Can we agree on a name for this syndrome?: "I like Psychophysiologic Disorder, too, but many of us have concluded we don't want to label people with anything that includes the "psycho" term. Somatic Stress Disorder seems to be a good blend of what would be acceptable to the public and the medical profession."
- Repetitive Strain Injury and Tension Myositis Syndrome: "For people who might not be receptive to TMS I tell them this: My back pain responded to nothing I tried, conventional medicine and alternative medicene didn't help, but once I started treating it as stress, it left completely. How's that for a mindbody connection?"
- TMS and GAD: "Anytime you hear yourself saying "what if", you are inadvertently creating and/or exacerbating significant tension in your body which will either initiate or 'fuel' a TMS scenario. As a part of your mindfulness practice, notice the 'what if'' language."
- 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."
- Agreeing on the physiology of mind-body syndromes: "Regardless of the actual physiology (and I think this will be argued for many, many years to come) I have found relief with my current methodology which is endorsed by both Dr. Sarno and Dr. Schubiner (and I think it still fits under Dr. Pert's ideas) and that is being mindful and living in the moment."
