Having trouble locating the mixed bag of Anger/ fear that is causing my TMS. Have lots of old and not much new stuff. Divorce 10 yrs ago stuff. Old business stuff, childhood stuff. Started two years ago when I drastically downsized my business to save it. Now all is OK
and life is good but my legs hurt. A joking phone conversation with a friend about his divorce My legs went from good to tight. We were
laughing. My daughters wedding, all perfect I could hardly walk down the aisle. How do I find the demon that triggers this very uncomfortable hamstring and quad tightness. Should I also stretch.
I have Freeze Framer biofeed back on my pc. Very helpful but I am stumped on finding what to unscrew. I am and was an anger avoider
then BANG but now (the last year has been very happy but with pain)
Thanks
Rick

I also had relapses of pain, after initial success. I had therapy with Dr.Don Dubin. He said that 90% of his patients with tms had childhood issues that were causing relapses. I was surprised, as I related my pain to current issues. After a few sessions, discussing my odd childhood, I realized he was correct. I had great respect for his knowledge and experience, and got better quickly. I still have the odd glitch, but minor. In short, think about childhood issues, is my suggestion. Something trivial, even silly,could be the culprit.

After some therapy I have come to realize that my perfectionism and goodism comes from the fact that my parents never really encouraged me. My mother has struggled with depression and never really hugged me, told me she loved me. My dad worked a lot at Delphi, the time we spent together was in sports, watch a basketball, or he was my baseball coach. But we talked talked about emotions feelings. I guess the reason why I had to excell in school, get a good job,impress people was my way of gaining respect, or way to go from friends, church memebers,teachers, etc. I loved the approval from others. It was not something I got at home.

For some they may never find out the source of their inner tension / anger / stress etc. The important thing is to continue to at least guess what you think might be the source of the problem. Thinking psychologically, along with resuming all normal physical activity and rejecting the structual (physical) explanations for the pain, is in my opinion the most important part of TMS treatment.
