Welcome to the Forum for the Structured Educational Program

It has nothing to do with him being a nice guy.... I'm confused as to why people using message boards or a support website is not going to help you and keeps one from dealing with themselves.

im not here to try and get anything but a thanks and thats not even needed

Hey everyone, I'm new to the site and posted on the Support forum already. I went to look at the Structured Education Program and saw it referencing that it was under construction. Do you think it is worth starting this program or waiting for the revised program? I'm not sure when that is expected to launch? Looking forward to being part of the community.

 

Your fine Storm shadow. We are always up-dating the SEP to make it better and better. Go ahead and start when your ready.
Nice to see you here, welcome aboard. Let me know if you need any help getting around ok

 

Hello, I am new to the forum and not sure where to post this as it recommends to do on several days of the program. I feel as if I have realised more suppressed issues in the last few days (I am on Day 10) and have also been in more pain during this time. I understand the importance of believing whole heartedly in the diagnosis and how clever the mind is at igniting the fear of the pain (ie. did I overdue it at the gym, I shouldn't have carried such heavy bags...). I am also tuning into the evil inner judge that questions and double questions every decision made or the way I complete a task. Unfortunately, I am unable to get a break from some of the major triggers for my anxiety. I wanted to ask the forum what to do in this case. What can be done when you have to face your current pain triggers daily/numerous times a day? Also, any recos for methods to self soothe that are not food, wine or shopping

 

Hi Jan, I am writing this because I am having trouble figuring out how to post messages as well as my profile. My initial attempt was to post Day 4 progress. That did not work. First I tried to open a new thread. I received a pop up message saying I was not authorized to start a new thread, so I'm confused on this. Then I decided to copy and paste this message into "My Story" and complete the set up. As you can see I was able to save an avatar and my birthday. I completed everything requested except the Homepage??? So I did a search on how to create a Homepage and had no luck. I'm a little frustrated but hey, I forgot about physical pain so I guess my attempts were not done in vain. If you have any suggestions I would really appreciate it!

 

A little confused..Went to this subforum to start SEP but cannot find the actual program; just what it is about.Help

 

Where do I start in the SEP.

I'm assuming I go to day 1?

 

Yes WendyS. If you scroll down to the big matrix with all the days and open that Day 1, it will take you to that day, and then you're off and running.

 

Thanks Andy!

 

Day 4/ St. Ed. Program.
What I was told by doctors. I had degenerative disk disorder, a little scoliosis that is worsening, when I fell at 10, my back is probably always going to be weak. Don't excerise, no hi heels, no heels period. Ice and see me 3 times a week for adjustments and we'll get you out of pain. Or get the treumell shot, (which maybe had placebo) effect and I always felt relief with trigger point therapy. Another Chiro said, get spinal decomprssion or "YOU'll never be able to walk again" - to say Im not angry is putting it mildly! How to stand, sit, walk, keep back straight, stomach tight, "my only hope" - So, I am aware of my triggers. I cancelled appointment with chiro. Felt so guilty. When people ask me how my back is, I say, great - getting the help I need. If they offer suggestions for massage, accuptunturist, the list goes on, I take my power back, and say thank you, but I know what is wrong and I'm getting better. But as soon as I feel guilty for not following main stream, I clamp up. And do the self talk, "listen to your body, look how much better you feel being in your emotions, no blame, no shame, no beating yourself up for not knowing and not being perfect. Sometimes I hug myself and keep saying, "you have a brilliant little body, it got tired of you being so mean to it, so it shut down, so you could stop being so mean, and be kind. And listen to your body and not to anyone else. And it would subside again. I don't feel afraid of the pain, I don't like it, I'm human, but I know it talking to me. I feel very self involved with this program, and try and put time aside, and then get on with other things, but I feel if I don't listen I will tighten up. Thank you everyone for so much support just reading what you wrote. Vanessa

 

Prefix..where is it?
