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.- 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!
- TMS or physical syndrome?: People may not feel that their childhood warrants them being angry, guilty, frustrated about something. But I don't think this means we can't still have strong emotions of angry about our past. I think that might be one aspect of what Sarno means by the unconscious rage.
- Importance of not trying too hard: For me acceptance is about accepting TMS, not accepting the pain. I'm acknowledging that TMS is here for a reason, it's here to tell me that my life is not in balance and I need to find out how and why it's not, and do something, or lots of things to change it.
- Singer with unexplained throat pain - TMS?: A new job can be stressful, so it might be helpful for you to journal on how you feel about the new job. What apprehensions do you have about it? Fear is one of the hardest things to overcome, but if you accept the diagnosis and think psychological you will increase your chances of overcoming TMS.
- MRI shows a bulging disc, could it be TMS?: Mostly I feel these thoughts are increasing my back pain. I read somewhere that when you have a flare up you should try to think of a repressed bad memory or emotion, so as to tell your brain that the pain isn't doing the trick, it's not distracting you.
