Hi, All,
Since people expressed interest in having an extensive list of TMS therapists available on the TMS Wiki, one of the first projects is going to be contacting TMS therapists to collect more information from them that will be helpful to our community.

I have pasted the questions below that we have come up with for the therapists, and I am looking for your feedback on these. If anyone has a question they would like to add, please let me know by responding to this thread.

Also, to see the list of therapists we are sending these questions to, go to:

http://tms.bluwiki.com/go/List_of_therapists_receiving_questionnaire

If you have reviewed the list of therapists and have one to add, please do so by responding to this post. Eventually, this list will be put on the wiki for all to use/update.

Thanks, and I hope all is well.

Do you know of any in the Long Island, New York area? I know there are some in New York City but for some of us the trip into the city could take 3+ hours. Suffolk County , Long Island would even be better.
Thanks for your hard work.

Hi Marsha,
Click on the link in the post above, and it will take you to a page that has a list of therapists with email addresses (unfortunately none in New York). This page also has a link to the Tar Pit Yoga Directory, and that will give you a more comprehensive list of therapists.

Good luck!

Hi, all,

I'm going to be emailing the survey out on Tuesday or Wednesday. Does anyone have any final questions that they think I should add to the survey?

Hi, All,
Thank you for your suggestions of therapists to contact. We have been sending emails over the last week, and while we have had only one response so far, I think she looks like a great resource! She seems very nice and completely believes in TMS.
