• This video is crazy. It hypothesizes that what I went through with the groin -> the hands & feet is classic symptom imperative. He even gives the example of going to the doctor and hearing you’re fine and then you relax and a new symptom pops up. It happened within a weekend! Because, you relax about one symptom and you’re still living in fear. So that’s why it keeps happening.
• Video from Alan Gordon watching him actually coach someone through a somatic tracking experience. Another one that he did that makes me feel a little better and that relates to my symptoms.
• A big and important psychological theory to support why this came on for me in my 40s is James Hollis, a jungian analyst. When you turn 40, you really start to get the messages from your life that you’re missing your life’s calling, and so the rest of your life becomes about answering that call. Perhaps TMS is one way that your body calls to you.
