Thanks for this terrific answer, Derek. I couldn't agree more with everything you said.
Three favorite quotes:
I love this approach! I often write that the most important step in TMS healing is to "get your head right," and this is such an important part of it.
This is a new idea on the forum that we don't talk about as much, but it is very important. Nicole Sachs talks about it in her chapter entitled, "It's a Process," and it's such an important idea (and probably my favorite chapter of the book). Us TMSers want to get everything solved yesterday, but it isn't kind to put so much pressure on ourselves. If TMS healing is a gift, one of the most important parts of the gift is learning to relax and enjoy life a little. That's the thing that soothes our reservoir of rage.Aaron, if you haven't read them yet, the classic essays on preoccupation and outcome independence may help put this point in a broader context.
