    I am beginning this journey after 5 years of constant pain. I have read all of Dr Sarno’s books and really believe I have TMS. But I admit that I occasionally have doubts that some of these symptoms are now just age catching up with me and creating the symptoms my brain created some five years ago. I am also seeing a practitioner whose name I found on this site. So hopefully this will get better. (Is this too “outcome” driven? )

    Hello @Francette, and welcome. My best advice is to not overthink it. If you suspect you're being tempted by your TMS brain to engage in outcome dependence, try being curious about it, and see if you can set it aside without judgement.

    These two things: curiosity, and letting go without judgement (aka non-judgmental acceptance) will serve you well on this journey, and beyond.
