Anyone got any tips for when you wake up sore but can't find an emotional cause and suspect it is more of a long term learned behaviour?(TMS of course) So far I check a few things emotional and if I can't find anything just get on with it and use the sore bit anyway, but it gets a bit hard when the pain increases, as little seeds of the physical start to creep in. |

I find in TMS concept that some people catch an issue sooner, they are are the success stories. I'm sorry that the pain waking up in the morning is not a fix until we start being honest about our feelings and get them out, OR reconcile with them.
Most are dealing with "ID"/Childhood rooted issues.
I have a brother who never liked me growing up and tormented me, and my cousins. Friends who always did what they wanted to do, not my interests. I have much anger towards that. BUT my pain stays. I have been picked on - I finally overcome that anger. But really the issue is did I really overcome it?
The TMS teaching is to recognize not just the anger, but what action do you really want to take? Yes I'd love to beat the snot out of them! OK - but that is the peace of mind we have to come to. Have our peace with ourself, admitting what the child in us wants to do and curb it. That is the daily practice.
I spoke with Dr. Sarno a few times on the phone, but his hours are not the best, thus why I can't meet him.. which gives me more TMS LOL
My pain I think is more deep seated and needs therapy sessions. Consciously I'm not angry at all! Thus the proof the issue is so suppressed. |

Whenever I hear anyone with TMS talking about waking up sore, my first thought (or guess) is that the person was dreaming about some repressed emotional issue immediately before waking up. The next time you wake up sore, you might want to try thinking about your dream or writing it down to think about later, since memories of dreams tend to fade very quickly.

My husband would wake up with horrible neck pain. I would tell him that maybe it had something to do with him yelling in his sleep at his brothers (who he works with all day). He never felt able to express his emotions to them (he's the youngest) so he'd yell all night at them in his sleep using filthy language! After I suggested that this might be the cause of his neck pain, he started yelling at them AT work and his neck pain went away and so did his sleep yelling.
Is there some issue you're dealing with in your life that you feel you can't express your emotions?
Sometimes it's something pretty obvious and really simple. |

How about what you were thinking about before you went to sleep? I know someone who has neck pain when they dwell on job issues before bed. If they read or do something else, not so much pain next morning. Currently, there are many things that could be stressing us economy-wise.
One general tip I got from Dr. Christiane Northrup is: do not watch the news or stressful tv shows/movies before bed. Our brain keeps these images in our minds for longer than we think. They can also be triggering emotional trash that cause things to go on in our brains and/or bodies.
Dr. Candace Pert suggests writing down your dreams in a log by your bedside each morning.

I get the same thing almost every morning! I wake up pretty sore around the neck, shoulders area...and I feel overall kind of sick and dizzy. I've read a few things about this, and I guess a lot more goes on in your unconscious while you're sleeping than when you're wake. I could be wrong, but that's what I've heard...Can anyone else answer this? |
