Hello everyone! I had an incident happen to me yesterday and I was wondering if this could be a manifistation of TMS. I went to someone yesterday evening who did some sorta emotional release work where he told me which of my subconscious memories that were hurting me neck so i could heal. The technique is called Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique. I remembered the memory when he reminded me of it and how painful it was.
After he told me which memory was causing me anxiety and lonliness, he put pressure on my temples (right on my hairline) on a trigger point. As he was pressing it, I felt pain and he said that is normal since it is a sensitive trigger point. For the next few hours, I felt a lot of pain in that temple area on both side and being the hypochondriac that I am, I was worried perhaps I had been injured badly since I still felt pain (like perhaps I had an optic nerve injury or hurt a temporal artery). And that night, I was remembering the painful incident that was brought out of my subsconsious and the more I thought about the memory, the more I noticed the pain in my temples from when he pressed them.
Today I am still feel soreness around my temple area and I am wondering if my brain is playing tricks on me as a distraction from the memory the therapist brought out of my subsconsious.
He said that he did not put so much pressure on my temples and the reason the pain was lingering was because i was worried about. Incidently, is extreme pain sensitivity and a very very low pain threshold part of TMS?
Does this experience seem like a manifistation of TMS? I had already had TMS in my neck and I am wondering if this overacting to that temple pressure?
I don't see how simple temple pressure could cause lasting pain. But clearly it can provide a convenient distraction.
Nevertheless you should examine why you feel the need to seek out nonsense alternative techniques. I'm sorry but I just cannot believe that anyone can possibly tell you which subconscious memory is responsible for a specific pain. As Judge Judy would say: BA-LO-NEY!
Emotional release work in and of itself is not a bad thing. If you find a therapist who can help you transform memories into true feelings dug up from your unconscious, that's great. But one who uses questionable techniques and makes outrageous claims? Probably counterproductive.
If you truly believe in TMS and that the diagnosis may apply to you, then you must also accept that searching for a magic bullet is not the answer.
Could This Have Been a Part of TMS
