Happy New Year!,
I am feeling a bit better, and I must admit, it's a little scary. Not that I haven't felt like I'm feeling now, but after dipping down shortly after embarking on the TMS work, I must admit it's a nice respite. But, moreover, I feel as though it is important--especially when one begins to see some sort of change, small as it may be--to be especially strong because this is the time when your unconscious tries particularly hard to get you to believe everything you've been doing is for naught. Now, like I stated earlier, the history of my symptomatology has been VERY up and down--which, I believe is a hallmark of TMS--but I'm trying hard not to worrying that this is just another "peak" in a never-ending cycle. That's all I really have to say, hopefully things will keep improving as I'm trying to stay strong and banish my fear.

| Hi Seth, I remember feeling just like you when I began to improve. I was afraid to say I felt better, afraid to post anything positive because it might cause my improvement to decline. I think this just reiterates the fear that accompanies tms. Also that I must be insanely superstitious. Don't worry about it. Keep following Sarno and you will improve whether you tell anyone or not. |

| The fear of change, even change for the good, is a TMS issue. It reminds me of an annecdote my yoga teacher once told class during a long pose. There was a crippled girl who was brought to a church revival to try to heal her. She hobbled onto the stage on her crutches. The faith-healer laid on hands and 'lo and behold, the crutche fell away and she was able to stand on her own. She ran to her mother and and started crying. Her mother asked, "Why are you crying dear?" The little girl answered, "It feels strange Mommy." |

I woke up feeling a little better too. I didn't want to acknowledge it to myself too much. Thought I would jinx myself. Almost feel like I better stop writing now or the problems will start creeping back as I type especially in my toes. I did have an wonderful day for the most part yesterday and that might have something to do with it. I would love the rest of today to go well too!  We will see ........ |
