2. 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

3. Get one or two books by Sarno, Sopher, etc.

Title 1/Brief description of book 1

Title 2/Brief description of book 1

4. 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

5. Start Journaling

6. Consider getting other helpful TMS materials

Member Homepages

Let's keep a standard format: optional brief intro at the top, then the following list of links, then complete freestyle.

• Reviews of internet and print/etc. resources
• Success stories (or link)
• Essays
• Reviews of doctors/other specialists

Helpful Resources

Here we could list all kinds of media (print, internet, cd, etc.) and give user-reviews of which resources people have found most helpful and/or worthwhile.

Master Doctor List

The list could be sorted by location and include reviews, links to postings describing interactions with the doctor, whether the doctor is a TMS patient him/herself, etc.

Master Psychotherapist List

The list could also be sorted by location and include reviews, links, information and whether the therapist consults via the phone

FAQs

For example, if you find that new TMS sufferers who have just found this bulletin board often ask the same questions, and you get tired of writing out the same stories and answers a new time for each of them, you can write it out really well one time and just post a link (or continue to rewrite it each time if you find that to be more personal). Wikis make it incredibly easy to make new web pages like that.
