I have made mention that I have had a recent relapse. I was upset with the relapse because I thought that I understood TMS so why should I have a relapse.
The first time I started feeling better, I read the books saw myself in it, started doing writing, but probably the main thing I did was to just stop focusing on the discomfort. It eventually went away after four months of applying this method.
Then I started having pains again this past December. Didn't understand why because I had stopped thinking about the pain. I started going through the information again once again saw myself in the pages, then I realized what I wasn't considering. What is going on within me that I am not expressing.
Reading books and listening to the audios I started really thinking about what is going on in my life. I can honestly say that I have been holding back feelings because I thought that either they would make a situation worse or hurt someones feelings. I didnt' see the good in expressing myself, but in thinking about how I was feeling, I started getting more depressed and withdrawn, but I started aching less. Go figure. I had an emotional outburst with a person, I had been holding back resentment with, and guess what? I can honestly say I don't feel that bad. Probably the best in days.
So what I hope that I am learning this time around that I didn't learn the first time around is that I need to not just ignore the feelings of pain, but look deep into how I am feeling and identify the trigger(s). I don't think resolution is needed because I started feeing better before the outburst, but I was definitely repressing, and I am still trying to figure it out. But I am definitely better and I hope to understand even more. I got to go, the perfectionist within will edit later. |

Hey tcherie,
I think I saw this common on all peoples post who have recovered.
This seems to be secret. From my point of view, I ignore pain but feeling of discomfort / pain is always there.
Can somebody hilight more on this aspect.
How to ignore discomfort \ Pain ?

That's an easy one:
The brain is very selective when it comes to priorities. If you can't change the priority because you’re in too much pain then change the scale by which you measure it.
If you wish to ignore your own discomfort all you may want to look at someone else's discomfort much greater than yours like someone who lost both legs to diabetes and find yourself lucky you only suffer from TMS.
But please don’t get me wrong I do believe your pain is real and probably very annoying to you. The idea here is to shift the priority and the brain will do the rest.
If you wish you can read the last post from Yogaluz in the 'Damn vertigo' topic where she accomplished just that while doing a presentation.
