James,
I have been very successful with TMS in the 10 years I have been practicing the techniques. I believe the answer (if anyone really needs an answer) lies in our personalities and that said our perceptions as a child and an adult. I am one of those folks that does not have a "big" trauma in my life. Yet, I have had to work long and hard to get where I am.
Here are two awesome references:
Dr. Peter Levine (Waking the Tiger, healing the trauma) who talks about how a "trauma" is in the eyes of that person who witnesses it. And a recent work of Dr. Richard Davidson "The Emotional Life Of Your Brain". I found the way he Dr. Davidson defines personality very telling for me and how I perceive and respond to the world.

Matthew- yes, Davidsons book is excellent, and Levine is also viewed as a leader in this field. You may be interested in an article i wrote for The Neuropsychptherapist on Emotional Style, chronic pain and their neurolgical underpinnings. It draws a lot on Davidsons work:

"The Keys to Healing" are Tolle, Sarno, Weekes, Low, Brady, Schubiner, Hayes et al readers digest condensed version. I wish when I was suffering it was presented so precisely.
You are not your thoughts, and words only attach meaning to those thoughts, what you have conjured for yourself due to conditioning and perceived experience.
Deconditioning and defusing those thoughts defined by words takes awareness and belief and a different time frame for everybody. There are as many paths to healing as their are individuals or snowflakes.

Ace, experience is the best teacher, once you understand what you have experienced.
Fitting the square peg into the round hole takes time and patience. For some, it can be done with several swipes of a sharp knife (the book cures) and for some, who are more cautious, they have to examine the peg and shave a little here and a little there, measure the hole, and get a splinter or two along the way. It is not an impossible task, but each person will develop own methods of shaping the square to the circle;it helps to understand that. There is no just jamming it in, no template.
I think the world can thank Dr. Sarno for bringing the forgotten "nervous illnesses" back into the main stream, with best selling books, and in explaining the mass misconceptions about the spine that are re-enforced by mostly totally unnecessary imaging.
