Thanks for the referal for Don Dubin. I have been seeing a non-TMS psychotherapist whom I like very much for the past four years (during which time I developed TMS). I am wondering if having 3 or 4 sessions with Don Dubin would give me some more hands on help with dealing with the TMS issues (mainly fear of doing activities that I I used to think were the cause of my pain). Knowing Don Dubin's style, do you think three or four sessions with him would be worth it or do I need to commit to something longer term?
Sorry, it took me so long to get back to you. He charges $100 a session. He wouldn't expect you to commit to any period of time. But I wouldn't assume that you can do it in 3 or 4 sessions. Maybe, maybe not. I have heard some suggest that, but to do the real work I believe it takes longer. I had a therapist I also like very much and had used for a long time. It didn't have any effect on the TMS. For awhile I continued with her and eventually switched to only him. And actually he is better than she was overall.
