It's a forum, you read and post what you want and ignore the rest. We're all adults (at least I think we are), and we should act like it.
Personally, Tom, I enjoy your posts and your humor cracks me up.

Hi Michele,
I came across your post from a few days ago, while trying in my "TMS Goodist", mode to help find some info for a fellow TMS'er.
What "resonated" with me was your statement that "...we are all adults and should act that way..."
I think you've hit on the core of the TMS cunumdrum. The part of our brain that creates the psychogenic, TMS physical symptoms, is NOT an "adult".
By not recognizing this vestigial, "inner-child" exists, and the crucial role it "plays" influenicng our waking and sleeping lives,
we miss the TMS point. Acceptance of our shadow side, I feel, is key to following the TMS yellow brick road.
By the way Michelle, was it you, that saw Dr. Schechter, in Bevedrly Hills, the same week I did, several years ago .
If it was, you got the TMS white coat OK from him for your hip and I unfortunately, did NOT. It's taken me a long time to bring this up. If it's you, would you like to compare notes?
Regards,
tt

Hi Tom!
Sorry, wasn't me who saw Schechter, but I do listen to his CDs occasionally and early in my TMS recovery I completed his workbook.
You and I both have (or have been told that we have) the hip arthritis, and both of us just keep going and going despite the pain. Like you, my pain doesn't move around, always in the same place. But I'm convinced that the degree of pain varies and that's where the TMS work has helped me.
Funny you bring up that inner child. Sometimes when I'm running and I want to keep going but the TMS creep wants to beat me down, I picture a little red-headed girl throwing a tantrum, fists balled up, lips curled out, and I "talk" to that little girl. I picture her looking through a glass window, trying to get out. It's me, that little girl, and I simply acknowledge her and say "I see you, I hear you, now GO AWAY!" It usually works. 
Good to hear from you Tom! |

Hi Michele,
Thanks for the reply and the clarification. I'll go through the archives sometime and research who it was. Keep up the good work with the red-head, and beat her to the finnish line.
In Sarno's books he touches on hip, butt and arthritis pain being TMS. Also in his latest, THE DIVIDED MIND. Don Dubin thought Schechter could have been wrong on my DX. As time passes, I slowly drift towards the TMS side. I hope to "fix" it someday and run again.
While doing deep-water running, I practice jumping over the net. I've never done that, even when I could run. Someday, I will try it--on a grass court though, where I can't do too much damage. |
