Good question. The pain is a form of self punishment. It prevents the expression of the fear and anger over emotions that are too sad, too powerful, or too threatening. It helps us to cope when we don't want to be somewhere but have to go, to go somewhere where we don't want to be, to be silent when we want to say something, and to punish, as Groddek said, "a sin against a commandment." We don't feel worthy, or when we feel shamed we internalize the rage that disrupts the attunement of the autonomic nervous system, that reduces the blood flow, and wreaks havoc across all of its functions.

The chain reaction of errors all begins with the thought process. To heal, the thinking has to be change to self worth.

TMS is a survival mechanism, aimed at helping us. The proof is that it's NOT the good feeling emotions causing TMS, like love and peace and joy, it's the ones we deem as dangerous to our survival, or in most cases of TMS, dangerous to our self image (which we deem as needed for our survival)
