Yes, I've had symptom flares from arguments, but that's in the distant past. I think that because we're vulerable to becoming completely disabled by TMS, we need to address all aspects of what may provoke symptoms - including our choices of behaviours, relationships, jobs, etc. All of these can...

Hello Seta. Sorry, I have no Spanish. It can be challenging to let go of emotional repression and hypervigilance when they have helped you survive for many years.
