What have you learned about yourself by going through this program? I've learned that I need or want a lot of caring. Compared to how I used to be I'm now ridiculously easy on myself. It's also something that I look for in relationships. I had one relationship about two years ago where my...

I agree with that- I don't think I'd have finished the SEP without getting feedback.

Cherylie, It took me a few days to come back. After finishing the journaling I was in a "what now?" stage. It's difficult hearing that you had no one there during your childhood. My father was recently reminding me that when I was 12 I tried to hold his hand in public and he refused. I'd...

Stella, I think it's hard to feel loved by our partner sometimes because we believe they hold so much power over us. We become reluctant to disturb it- that' why you thanked him instead of being able to say that you still didn't feel it. I imagine that if you work yourself up to saying that...

Jo, I think I am doing a better job of being with my inner child. For a long time I was able to sort of be a calming presence with myself ("we'll get through this") yet I still had a ton of frustration. I think the best metaphor that I used to have a temptation to just lie on the floor when...

Montana mom, I actually haven't done a good job of staying on here so far but I'd like to change that. Thank you for your words. I actually was going through a couple of days where I was exhausted a lot. Luckily (besides the exhaustion) I'm seeing some improvements in my muscle tension. Luke

Edward, Thanks for writing out your thoughts- I think I've experienced some of the same thing but without realizing that I was doing so. It's strange that just the experience of journaling would make us kinder to ourselves. It's not something that I thought about while I was doing the...

Kev, It's great you are starting the SEP. If you already beat it twice before then having this tool in addition should be very helpful. Luke

Walt, Trap pain is pain in the trapezius muscles which run between the shoulders and neck- a near universal symptom in TMS patients. “It has been found that in 99 percent of patients with TMS there is pain on palpation of varying degrees on both sides (bilateral) of the lateral upper...

Edward, Can you describe a little more about how the program helped you become proud of yourself. I've been doing it and I'm not sure that I've seen that effect.

Spend today's journaling time to write about any outstanding issues that you want to address. I'd like to address how unloved I feel, if it's an accurate reflection of reality, and to what degree I can heal myself of this condition. I don't feel loved. My dad was in town this weekend and while...

I'll write down a few smaller events because I haven't had a single one that seems like a game changer. I went running at night once and did a couple of sprints. That felt big because when I jog I usually feel asymmetric and tired. The sprints made feel like my body was tough and that I could...
