Understanding and Healing from TMS: Diagnosis, Treatment, Psychology

Understanding and Healing from TMS is a newly formatted and edited edition of the original MindBody Audio Program from the late 1990s. This book explores Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS), a mind-body approach to understanding and treating pain that emphasizes psychological causes rather than structural or chemical ones.

The book explains the mind-body connection, identifies who may benefit from this treatment, and delves into the psychology behind TMS. Since education and psychological insight are central to treatment, the book focuses on providing valuable educational materials.

It is divided into three parts:

1. A live seminar recorded in the late 1990s, recently transcribed and edited.
2. A transcription of another audio program centered on diagnosis and treatment.
3. An interview with a skilled psychotherapist, including anonymous case examples of patients treated by the author and therapist.

After reviewing this material in early 2019, its lasting value became clear. If you have already studied The MindBody Audio Program, this book may not be necessary. However, its concise and affordable format offers both newcomers and experienced readers insight into the author’s thinking at the time, along with updates and edits to make the content more current and relevant.
