Why does energy healing always make me feel worse

Why when i go on the page

https://www.sirpa.org/

And look at the practicioners, are they mostly physiotherapists?

How can they help with anger, or am I getting to far ahead of myself here?

 

Sorry I made a typo

I meant to say physio or physiotherapists and my spell checker changed it to psychics

 

I think your TMS brain is doing avoidance behavior. You told us you had bad experiences with therapists and they weren't useful for you and yet the first thing you are doing, instead of the advice offered, is to look for a therapist. Can you see how that might be trying to avoid getting started?
Jan pointed you to the SEP guide which will help you get started and I offered a down and dirty get going approach.

The thing with TMS is that the little TMS part of our brain which is trying to keep us away from accessing the suppressed emotions is VERY persuasive in stopping us. It's like when you are on a diet and you really want to eat that second piece of chocolate cake. And your brain comes up with all kinds of rationales -- "If I eat it now, I won't have it to pig out on tomorrow and I can re-start the diet then." "It's a gluten free cake so it's not really that bad." "Chocolate is healthy for you so it's better that I eat that then eat that box of girl scout cookies" and on and on. Your brain will keep feeding you lines to get you to do what it wants. In the case of the TMS, the chocolate cake is the hidden anger/rage. And your mind will come up with all sorts of lovely rationales why you should do everything OTHER than go there.

 

I have Cfs, I do think it's psychological so it has a chance of working

Why is the tms page advertising psysiotherapists I can't understand?

 

Why does that matter?

 

I guess it doesn't, I was just curious

 

Fair enough.
Good luck with your journey.

 

Lee,
SIRPA was started in the UK by Georgie Oldfield who is a physiotherapist. In the UK, the TMS philosophy and treatment method has mostly been embraced by physiotherapists (what we call physical therapists in the US) because of the outreach and training by Georgie. They also refer to TMS or Mindbody Syndrome as Stress Illness. But they understand that the cause is psychological and the basics of their treatment approach are the same. I read Georgie's book, Chronic Pain: Your Key to Recovery about 10 years ago, and it embraces the Sarno philosophy.

I don't know how much experience they have treating CFS. But it may be worth your time to contact one of the practitioners who live near you to find out how they may be able to help. If they can't, they may know someone who can. While it is possible to recover using a self-help approach, many people find it helpful to have a trained practitioner to help guide them in the process.

 

As long as a practitioner believes that CFS is just another manifestation of TMS, they should be successful.

 

Is it a different treatment ?

The one on wiki is about emotions and journalling, but this one is about physiotherapy?

The journalling stuff is making me depressed tbh, i'm not sure i can do it, i'm not getting anything out of it

 

I'm not sure how the SIRPA practitioners go about their treatment. I think calling one and discussing it with them would be the best approach. My sense is that they understand that addressing emotions and thinking patterns must be incorporated into treatment, rather than a purely physical approach.

 

I ignore you because I dislike you, you've been hostile and snapping away at me since your first post, I put you on block and regret taking you off, I dislike your personality, I find you rude and abrupt, I'm putting you back on block, it was a pleasant thread until you got involved and starting trying to dictate and turn others against me.

Everytime I've done therapy or got in touch with my emotions (because I know you don't like the word therapy, so I'll walk on egg shells to please you) I've deteriorated and this time is no different.

The book is very similar to a lot of other books I've read, it wasn't bad but I haven't learned anything new, I've been doing this sort of stuff for years.

I rejected therapy because everyone I did it, I'd crash and deteriorate

 

If you had any intuition you'd have worked it out for yourself, but here's a few quotes from you

'How can you not know the difference? How old were you when you saw these people? Who found them for you and who paid for them?'

'It occurs to me to ask, is English not your first language? Perhaps you are using the word "energy" in a way that native English speakers do not? That's the only thing I can come up with to explain this conflict in communication'

'In fact, my suggestion to everyone is to stop this discussion entirely.'

'Umm, I ask questions?'

Please go away, I'd rather speak to someone less patronising and less toxic, I know exactly what you're about

 

I think the best thing is for you to look for a different approach to your issues. For some people they read or listen to or watch Sarno and immediately think, "Wow, this is an exciting possibility." Those are the people that it will help. Some people's symptoms actually go away just KNOWING that it's from the mind. Other people need to root out the repressed anger/rage.

If you think the TMS and/or Sarno is "same old, same old" then there is likely no point in belaboring it.

As someone once said about something, "If you think it won't work, then you are right."

 

I was doing okay until she started chatting shit and putting me down, she's got what She wanted though, the horrible cow
