Hi all,
I'm trying to find out how to locate a TMS-friendly psychotherapist in the Chicago area. I have a specific phobic disorder that manifests itself as a locking up of the sphincter muscles so that urination becomes impossible in any situation that activates the phobia. The most successful treatment program is cognitive-behavioral, i.e. desensitization. Sarno has said via email that it is TMS, but I'd like to try to combine active CB work with TMS-related work. Sarno's approach has worked wonders for some of my other chronic symptoms, but this one, which is very profound and life-disrupting, just doesn't budge. Since the price you pay for letting it go on is damage to both your social life and, more importantly, your bladder (which is irrepararble), I can't just wait around for the TMS cure to work. Anyway, any thoughts about a) finding a theraptist and b) combining TMS treatment with CB?
Thanks! |
