Hilary,
"The New Primal Scream" by Janov is really an amazing read especially if you have undergone infant trauma as I have. I couldn't believe how many times my emotions where triggered by that book.
I still think however that most of TMS can be resolved with inner child work on even tough cases like mine but i'll have to check in with that hypothesis down the road. |

Curiosity , Thank you for your reply and explanation. My "event" was not planned but came up through heartfelt emotion.
Miehnesor, the description of the parent and child both being in the unconscious and the parent's attempt to keep the emotions repressed really struck a chord with me. For the first time the anger which I've never beem able to access began showing itself at the unconscious parent which seems to be the dictator over the child. I'm not sure if I'm interpreting this correctly or not , but is the twofold approach you are presenting circumventing the unconscious parent by going to the child with love and understanding , thereby depriving the parent of his total control over the child ? And then then conscious takes more power away from the unconscious parent by derision , scorn, or any weapon necessary?
I know I may not be describing this well , but I feel there is something very significant in what you conveyed.

Yep by going directly to the child and inviting out the emotion nullifies the efforts of the parent to keep the childs feelings repressed if you can actually feel what the child has stashed away. Sarno talks about these different aspects of the unconscious. He refers to the adult, parent, and child whereas I just like to lump the adult and parent together as the instigator of TMS to keep the emotions repressed. I've based my recovery on getting to the feelings of the child because trying to get my parent to give up the TMS just didn't work for me at all. I have deep seaded issues that are too frightening to my unconscious parent and that parent was unwilling to let go of the TMS. Luckily there was this other option available to me otherwise I would be unhappy camper.
Hopefully Sarno will talk more about this more in his next book. |
