Hello Everyone,
The 3-Pronged Lifestyle Approach to Living with TMS - video session link posted below as well.
What if I were to tell you that you are going to live with TMS for the rest of your life—would you be able to accept that or would you fight it?
It is truth that you are living with this chronic disorder that produces pain and other symptoms today and it will continue to live with you every day for the rest of your life. Accepting this truth provides a psychological improvement and significant shift in how you can choose to reverse the symptoms in this disorder. It allows you to begin living your life versus treating a disorder to become symptom-free so that you can start living your life. Get that truth, digest this and let it sink into your consciousness.
It doesn’t mean however that pain and other symptoms are going to be a part of your daily life forever. You are living with tms because you generate inner tension (energy). This tension energy is communicated to your nervous system and your nervous system automatically produces pain and other symptoms. (The nervous system process is happening outside of your control, automatically, so don’t worry about it).
Our job, our work is to change the quality of energy that is communicated to our nervous system. We are always communicating to our nervous system, this is never going to stop, but the quality of the energy that gets communicated to our nervous system we can deliberately, consciously and unconsciously work with and change.
We are communicating:
closed-off-ness --holding-in feelings, stuffing down fear
un-flexible-ness --controlling & always needing to be right
tightness – anger, guilt & resentment,
un-balanced-ness --striving, pleasing/impressing, perfection
scattered-ness -- worry & self-consciousness
Or we can communicate open, allowing, aligned, flexible and balanced energy to our nervous system.
How can I be in this fearful situation & be in a more open behavior?
What is a more flexible attitude I can bring to this problem?
Is there a more balanced or aligned way to think about this?
Where could I be more allowing in my actions?
In either case, our nervous system takes what we give it and produces effects in our body that replicate the energy we communicate! This is simple cause and effect.
Since we are living with this disorder we need a practice that allows us to live pain and symptom free. Ideally this practice needs to become a lifestyle that helps us communicate consciously and subconsciously to our nervous system, energy that is open, flexible, allowing, balanced and aligned on a daily basis.
Again, this is our job. Our work is communicating this open quality of energy to our nervous system…period! This work is much more efficient and effective when it is a way of being, a lifestyle and not looked upon as a temporary treatment to fix a problem.
The Three-Pronged Lifestyle Approach is an attitudinal change in your treatment philosophy and it is a multifaceted approach to reversing this disorder for efficiency, effectiveness and permanency.
1. Think Psychological – You must start here and it cannot be a casual awareness approach. This is acceptance, confidence and complete trust. When you communicate with conviction these qualities to this disorder you will defeat the subconscious distraction strategy. When you don’t, you are living in TMS hell. You are allowing the strategy to exist!
2. Think Clean - Identify how you are generating inner tension and repressing emotional energy with your thoughts and behaviors! Learning how to stop repressing emotions with your behaviors and thoughts and instead begin experiencing this energy is the transforming therapy that changes this disorder--This is how you reverse TMS symptoms! Chronic overweight people eat to repress emotions. Behaving and thinking in worry, perfection, controlling, striving, pleasing and holding stuff in is how TMS people repress emotional energy! Remember, having the awareness that you are generating inner tension doesn't change the fact you are generating inner tension and it doesn’t change the autonomic nervous systems process of producing the symptom effects! Reversing TMS is not a passive, intellectual event…it is an active, change therapy!
3. Alternative Activity - Journaling, guided imagery, daily waking-working mindfulness, root lock, hypnosis, yoga, and spiritual practice. Engage in something or someone to help bring openness, balance, alignment, hope, and guidance into your life. These activities supplement and compliment yourThink Psychological and Think Clean practices.
The key is to engage in all three of these practices as a way of living and not as a treatment. All of these practices are communication to your nervous system that creates positive transformation within this disorder. Again this is big huge to understand. When you take a casual approach to reversing TMS you get casual results. When you make the decision to change your inner communication on an on-going "this is the way I live my life" basis and not as a temporary treatment, you have shifted the whole healing dynamic within this disorder.
I hope that you are inspired to live with TMS and live free of symptoms! This is a choice that you can make right now. Incorporating the 3-pronged treatment approach into your life is the efficient, effective and the most permanent means of reversing this disorder and living symptom free.
If you are stuck, I encourage you to consider:
Beginning the Master Practice – I have added 2 new, more comprehensive options for you to begin. www.runningpain.com/masterpractice.html
If you are stuck I encourage you to consult with me. You can dramatically turn this disorder around in a 30 or 60 minute discussion. It happens every single day.

Good one Monte.

I think for many of us this is the most diificult part. Accepting that TMS lives in us is difficult but I agree that accepting this fact is crucial to recovery. Most of us freak out when we have a relapse or when the pain shifts to another place. Maybe that is a sign that we have not really accepted the diagnosis. If we don't accept the diagnosis how can we really treat ourselves.
Thank you & keep posting.
Good Luck & Good Health
