Alan Gordon March 18th Webinar with Alan Gordon

I am excited to announce that on Monday, March 18th at 9:00pm (EST) we'll be hosting our first special TMS webinar event of 2013 with TMS therapist Alan Gordon, LCSW. Alan spoke at our first ever TMS webinar, and returned for our second special webinar event in July 2012. Like these past two webinars, Alan will talk with callers on the line, with the goal of helping them through their struggles. This webinar will focus specifically on how to overcome anxiety.

(This webinar was originally scheduled for March 25th.)

To join using your phone, dial 1 646 583 7415; when prompted, enter the pin number 21558901

We will also have an online chatroom running, so people can discuss what’s going on and ask questions without interrupting the webinar itself. The chatroom will be located at www.tmswiki.org/chat.

If anyone is interested in participating in the event, or to learn more about it, simply post below. We are going to need a couple people to help moderate the event to help everything run smoothly. Also, if you are interested in participating in a one-on-one consultation with Alan during the webinar, let me know by sending me a private message.

I am really excited about this event - this is a great way for anyone to receive feedback and guidance from one of the best TMS practitioners out there.

 

For reference, here are links to his first two webinars. I recommend them both. I think that people tend to learn the most from the later callers in each webinar, but they're all good:

• June 9 Tension Myositis Syndrome webinar with Alan Gordon
• July 21 Tension Myositis Syndrome webinar with Alan Gordon

You can read about all of our webinars (including the Alan ones) in our TMS Webinars wiki page.

 

That's an excellent point, Gail. I have consulted with Alan and we have rescheduled the webinar for one week earlier (Monday, March 18th), same time (9pm EST).I've updated the original post to reflect this change as well.

 

Gail - the emotionally-induced pain that Dr. Weekes describes is what Dr. Sarno decided to call TMS about 15 years after she wrote H&HFYN. The other symptoms she describes are what he later decided might as well be called TMS equivalents. And the "cause", nervous illness and panic attacks, are also TMS equivalents.

We say "TMS" only because it's convenient. Dr. David Clarke won't use that term because he's doesn't "follow" Dr. Sarno - I believe he prefers PPD (Forest knows Dr. Clarke and can correct me if I'm wrong about that detail). Dr. Schubiner calls it MBS. Dr. Mate calls it the Stress-Disease Connection. There are many other terms being used out there but they are all talking about the same thing!

I love Dr. Weekes. She is very helpful and comforting to those of us with chronic anxiety. Which is a TMS equivalent.
