I don't have fibro, but my neighbor/friend was recently told she has it. For her, they seemed to reach this conclusion by eliminating other things such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. Once they decided she didn't have those other things, it seems fibro was "left" as the conclusion. It's so...

Dr. Amit Goswami will speak at the THE 2012 CONFERENCE FOR CONSCIOUSNESS AND HUMAN EVOLUTION In London during August. His topic: The Quantum Doctor: a new paradigm of health and healing Bridging Quantum science with the quantum body. Practices and integration that bring Self-Awareness in the...

Loved reading this post from Steve. It's been a challenging week, with the death of a friend from cancer, the services and trying to be supportive of her husband, who I'm actually closer to. I've known the hubby for years and became friends with the wife when they married a couple of years ago...

I did a review of Dr. Sarno's Healing Back Pain on Amazon.com I know you guys are trying spread the word about this wiki/forum, so I mentioned it in the review. If we all do that when reviewing books, you can get some free publicity. I wasn't sure about including an actual link (the review...

This is the best, relatively short, explanation of IFS therapy that I've seen so far: http://www.personal-growth-programs.com/introduction-to-internal-family-systems-therapy It really struck a chord with me because I know that there are "parts" of me that want to do things like loose weight...

Hi dabatross, Wow. That is not my understanding about IFS at all. I think your therapist did a disservice to you and IFS. You do communicate, respectfully, with stuck parts of yourself, but there is no beating on pillows or any violence of any kind. I have some very intense child abuse issues...

Hi BG, One of the things I love about this IFS Therapy is that the goal is to respect, appreciate, and integrate the "crowd" rather than trying to get rid of them. In the IFS model, each part has played a positive role in your life...yes, even the ones that have given you pain and seemingly made...

They are both adorable. Do you know there's a big Yahoo Group for people with Cushing's dogs? I know a couple of folks who are on it, although I'm not myself. I hear they provide lots of useful info and support. Here's me with my girls (my Facebook Header) (if I uploaded it right? LOL)

So far, I am really loving this book, and have already tried a few limited "sessions." The paradigm of each of us having many "parts" really struck a chord in me when I read the book preview. It makes so much sense. When we experience traumatic events in our lives, if we have not developed the...

Hi Veronica, Just wondering how your dog is doing? Did you get the test results? She's so cute. I'm hoping things are OK. Hugs...

Good Morning Forest, Thank you for the reply! I completely agree with you on what I need to do, and I also think I have found a really good "how to" manual, which is the part of the picture that was missing for me. :) I really got into thinking about all of this last night and how I need a...

I spent a considerable amount of time today doing a big job because someone else dropped the ball. First mistake: over-responsible and goodist. Once it was finished, I let her know it was done and she immediately responded by pointing out some mistakes I made. Second mistake: reacting to “the...
