Yes, it was visualization that worked in my particular case. I'm an artist and what helped once I became aware of what's really going on was this one book I once read called "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" It pretty much had to do to with shutting down the left side of the brain and use only the right one when drawing an object. I won't get into detail of how it worked but I remembered using this technique to re-learn how to draw correctly by confusing part of the brain and eventually shutting it down. I was able to incorporate this technique with my struggle with nerve pain. I simply visualize my brain turned up side down and try to imagine the picture I receive to be upside down. It completely confuses my brain and keeps it occupied with this whole new idea of seeing the world up side down. It may sound sill but it works for me. I can almost feel the the oxygen rich blood flow being restored to every oxygen deprived nerve. And pain quickly going away. It's on of the ways I deal with TMS. Other times i take deep breaths, slow down, think spriritual thoughts, relax my muscles, stretch or pick up on of Dr Sarno's book.
