"Our goal in these [journaling] sessions is not to reconstruct anger provoking incidents in minute detail or to magnify them. Instead, it is to help you prove two things to yourself: that you are confident that the biochemicals of emotion have been causing your symptoms, and that you are insistently restricting your thinking to the emotions themselves instead of their physical effect on your body. You are creating and honing a new habit, a new way of relating to your symptoms. You are changing your brain chemistry to get better."
- Nancy Selfridge "Freedom From Fibromyalgia" page 221
***************
"Possibly even before you noticed your symptoms, you were chided for being too sensitive and making things hard for yourself. Almost instinctively you developed strategies to live in an intensive world, keeping your sensitivity in check. Think of how long you were reining in your emotions- and how long you had your fibromayalgia [TMS] symptoms."
