When we come to this forum, many focus on the pain and not psychological issues, I did this also. I once reviewed a “nameless” person’s threads to see how many questions they asked before getting to psychological issues. I was amazed to find 71posts.
It is clearly the nature of TMS to keep us away from dealing with the real cause of our pain, psychological and emotional events. But it is equally important to eliminate those pain questions and concerns first!
As a mechanical designer I try to simplify things to understand them:
TMS is a glass of oil and water 50/50 mix. The Oil is on top and represents Pain, and the Water represents the psychological. You are not going to get to the water until you have dispersed the oil.
Another analogy is oil and water doesn’t mix.
I would like someone to make up a similar analogy, perhaps about the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Any takers?

Andy,
Please see whether I'm right with my analogy.
How about taking a conventional pressure cooker with a whistle as another example? Here I could imagine the cap as the conscious mind, and the boiling water is the raging emotions suppressed. When the pressure builds due to heating, the whole cooker shakes, and the whistle blows? Finally once the pressure is released, the cooker calms down.
I just wrote what that came to my mind.
I need some good sleep now. :-) |

Hi Racer,
You got my point exactly. After 5 posts (not 71), you recognize suppressed raging emotions. Now the trick is pinpointing them and then learning how to deal with them. To me there seems no set path, no timeframe, and no one method in dealing with them.
Good luck with your pressure cooker.
