So You Think You Might Have TMS

From BluWiki

You've been hearing, reading and learning more about it, and you think that you too may have TMS. What should you do next? Below are some basic steps that the TMS community has put together to help you get started on the right track.

1. See a doctor. You may be suffering from a serious structural medical condition rather than (or in addition to) TMS. Failure to rule this out can obviously have very serious consequences (for example, cancer can cause back pain).

2. Read about TMS.

3. Link to a community. It's helpful to know there are people just like you who have your exact same symptoms, who have had their lives changed by the discovery of TMS.

4. Get one or two of the most helpful books written by TMS Doctors such as John Sarno.

5. Read lots of success stores and draw parallels between yourself and the authors. Dr. Mark Schechter writes, “An ongoing theme with people who successfully heal their pain is an ability to connect to the stories of other successful patients or case examples from one of the books. The ability to see yourself in these examples makes the diagnosis much more real.” (p.21 of the The MindBody Workbook) TMS Success Stories

6. Start Journaling.

7. Consider getting other helpful TMS materials.
