For those who are having trouble shifting from the "pain as a distraction from suppressed emotions" theory to the "pain is generated by fear" theory I think I see a way to bridge that gap. If you're familiar with A Course In Miracles you know that the only two emotions are love and fear. All other emotions spring from those two. Anger and rage are just the effects of fear. After all, you can't be angry with something or someone unless you fear them first. Without fear, anger has no foundation. And suppressing fear-based emotions is itself an act of fear - the fear of fear itself. So dealing with fear as the root cause of TMS makes a lot of sense to me.
