Hi Nicole, thanks for your videos, I have been watching them for a few weeks and have begun journaling which I do find useful. I’d also like to share my own experience that may be useful to others who have long term pain , Ive had chronic pain for nearly 3 decades - with that comes some posture issues that need addressing. Having better understanding of your pain and the mind body connection is a valuable tool ,but years of poor posture may need some help unlocking to make it easier to reduce pain . I have found gentle Qi gong and breathe work very useful and Feldenkrais and Somatic yoga has helped immensely. Learning to move slowly and noticing any tension BEFORE the pain is key to improvement.
My physio put me onto your podcasts, I think I finally found the root cause and why my chronic pain won't go away no matter what I do. I did have a bad limp for a bad 8 years due to botched Achilles tendon surgery which is what sent my back off but during my back recovery my brother died real suddenly, which kinda ruined me and the pain hasn't left since. Think I'll do the online lessons.
Although I think that Nicole is a great asset in TMS and as a therapist, we really have to consider what it means to believe something. To believe means you do not know. If you knew there would be no use to believe. To believe means you are taking something to be fact when you really don't know that it is. But beyond this, few of us can be persuaded to believe something by just deciding to do so. This is not how belief works. Belief is much more organic, and it is usually, most often, done to assuage insecurity. Belief, faith, and hope are not the same thing. You can have faith that the TMS protocol will work but this is not the same thing as believing that it will. So we have a dilemma, a conundrum. People believe in god, the miracles of Jesus, and that someone road a horse through a ceiling and into heaven, but these are absurdities if taken literally. While I have faith in the protocols of TMS, because they are logical and well-founded, I cannot force myself to belief that I will recover. I have helped people with TMS for more than 15 years or so and have seen amazing results, but I never told anyone to believe, but rather to just trust in the process, which is faith. I am open to any other explanation, and I have a great amount of respect for Nicole and what she says, as well as what she has written, so I would encourage everyone to invest their time in her teachings. Still, the belief issue is not what it seems to be.
This is an excellent metaphor Nicole. Thank you for sharing and please keep the videos coming. I too hope you can reach Lady Gaga to help further spread this message of how to heal from chronic pain. Let's do this!
I recently just discovered TMS and am truly convinced this is what women with interstitial cystitis actually have myself included. I was wondering though if you could shed some light on why certain foods trigger symptoms in conditions like ic and ibs. I can't find any literature on TMS and food triggers. How does the brain decide which food groups will bother people with ibs and ic? This is the only piece to the puzzle left incomplete I would love to understand.
Me too and yes it definitely tms, just found nicole , bit I'm also using faster eft or eutaptics by Robert Smith. But in a nut shell they both say its beleif. Wow I am hopeful. Good luck friend 💓
Speaking from experience, the foods do not trigger anything. This is the problem. It is the mind that causes the problem, but the food is being blamed. I could cite a number of examples, because I have helped people with TMS for many years. The food is the mind's excuse, just as it is the excuse for the idea that lifting things gives you permanent back damage and pain. You need to stop thinking physically and start thinking emotionally/mentally/psychologically. There's a great, but slightly corny, video that Dr Sarno made with his patients, and he goes over this.
@@ReluctantMystichello ! Thank you for this , could you please share the link of Dr Sarno video you mention and also maybe where can I contact you . Thanks
What to do when you know it's TMS but you have intensive pain for weeks and can't even follow daily habits? I know the solution is to believe but shouldn't there be a relief at some time?

Yes ..Nicole . I believe ..I also used to live in the Beautiful state of Lower beachside Delaware ..Beautiful ..Shalom Peace
The quote "You'll See It When You Believe it" is not Eckert Tolle but should be attributed to Wayne Dyer. He even wrote a book by that title.
OOPS thank you I'll write a disclaimer...
Good point. Dyer was the real deal. I think Tolle is a poser who almost says all the right things.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You are beautiful inside and out! 🙏♥️
So needed to hear this! Very helpful! ❤️
NIcole, thank you!! I soooo needed to hear this!!!

Keep journaling until your unconcious feels heard enough so it can stop giving you the pain.
I know what that’s like, you cannot even journal, so I just write with my mind. I won’t give up.
Hi Nicole , do You think it could work for hip osteoarthritis?? Thanks!
Definitely does...documented on Dr David Hanscoms website backincontrol.com. Lady with bone on bone OA settled her symptoms.
Good info, I totally agree. The f-bomb kinda startled me a bit though. I wouldn't have thought you'd talk that way. :(
Really?..... Who cares?
Its important to talk that way, everyone feels that way when going through pain, shes trying to make a connection. Just say it how it is.
@@pancakek2397 it’s called offensive language for a reason . I curse but I respect others enough not to curse around them
