And he also states that many people do find recovery by just by learning this and applying a Mind body approach. [b]I will buy that.[/b] However Many might disagree but IMO if this is not discovered than you still have an underlying condition. To me the purpose of a psychotherapist would help you identify this. In my situation Jornaling my life experiences help me find mine. It was about 4 months after making all the physical connections to my condition. [b]Let’s just say “ I made peace with my past.”[/b] [blue][i]Last I would say if you study phobias, syndromes and mostly self injurious behaviors in why they occur you might get a sense of the purpose of an underlying condition. Self-injurious behaviors also serve a purpose. A proper functional assessment always reveals its purpose. When identifying the source of the behavior and teaching replacement behaviors breaks the cycle therefore there is no longer a reason for it to continue[/i][/blue]. [blue]Just my 2 cents[/blue] [b][blue]I have seen some awesome work done in this area and have associated many of TMS attributes to this same cycle[/blue].[/b] [blue] Kenny V[/blue] [i] [blue]Always Hope For Recovery[/blue][/i] [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
