Day 10

Hi there,

I'm on day 10 of the structured educational programme. I'm feeling positive about it, but I'm doing it to combat spasmodic dysphonia as opposed to chronic pain, and I'm unsure of the success rate in this area as there isn't much literature on it out there. Sarno seems to think spasmodic dysphonia is TMS, which gives me hope, and I certainly fit the classic personality traits, but I would love to hear any success stories!

 

I found some free videos on YouTube about spasmodic dysphonia. You might take a look at them. My voice can be weak when I'm under stress. Deep breathing has helped me when that happens. And putting my mind on a relaxing place. Visualization has helped a lot of people with TMS emotional pain.

 

I think you may find this blog post by Dr. Schubiner helpful:
