    Struggling with tension headaches and neck pain

    I found TMS literature almost 10 years ago when I turned 30. Started with Dr Sarnos Healing Back Pain, and have read many others(SteveO,Gordon,etc). It's been a while since I've had pain that has been consuming. Perhaps around 6 weeks ago I started getting tension headaches and neck pain. I had...

    How Grief can lead to TMS Symptoms

    Hi everyone, I wanted to share another interview I did with Jen Johnson at Thought by Thought Healing. I speak about how the loss of my brother at age 38 led to many TMS symptoms. I also speak about TMS symptoms from parenting and how my Christian faith also caused symptoms as well. Hope it helps!

    From a nervous wreck to about 50% healed

    As far as I can recall, my early TMS symptoms began in late 2017. To my ignorance at the time, my perfectionistic, self-critical, and people pleasing personality pushed my stress levels to the extreme. Juggling a busy corporate job and working on my side-business until late at night, I started...

    Almost a decade of hand pain.. is it TMS?

    Hey everyone, After years of trying to solve the mystery of my chronic pain, I came across a comment on Reddit about TMS. I immediately read Sarno's book and resonated with it deeply.

    Morning / Bed Pain

    Yesterday I did loads of TMS work. I meditated twice. Had an afternoon nap. Stayed present. Had a bath. Read a few pages of Mind Body Prescription. Tried to stay relaxed and not overthink. Read a few success stories which give a bit of hope. Thought I might have had a bit of a breakthrough...

    Back pain and stiffness

    I’m 21 years old and am going on 2 years of back/neck pain. I’m very certain what I have is TMS. Two years ago, I suffered an “injury” in my knee that persisted for about 6 months. I saw pts and doctors and all they told me was rest and gave me exercises. I couldn’t run 10 feet without being...

    Hi all! I discovered The Way Out by Alan Gordon last year and have been battling IBS, Rectal Pain, and neck pain.
