Understanding and Healing from TMS: Diagnosis, Treatment, Psychology

by David Schechter

This book, Understanding and Healing from TMS, is being distributed in a new format (ebook) and with some editing changes. It has previously been available as The MindBody Audio Program. So this is both an older (1996-1999) and a newer book. TMS is a way of understanding and treating pain that focuses on the psychological rather than the structural or chemical. The book attempts to explain that mind-body connection, clarify who is a candidate for this approach, and detail the relevant psychology of the condition. The treatment for TMS is education and psychological insight, hence the emphasis on educational materials in this field. There are three parts to this a seminar that the author recorded live in the late 1990's that was recently transcribed and edited. Second the transcription of another audio program focusing on diagnosis and treatment. Third an interview with a talented psychotherapist and discussion of actual case treatment examples (anonymously) of people treated by the author along with this psychotherapist. After reviewing this transcription in early 2019, it was clear there is a lot of value remaining in this material. If you have previously listened/studied The MindBody Audio Program, you won't need to read this book. However, the relatively short and relatively inexpensive format will offer both the novice in this field and the more knowledgeable individual exposure to the thinking of the author at the time these materials were recorded. In addition, there are updates and edits to make the material more contemporaneous and relevant.

Methods of treating pain

This book is recommended for folks with pain or ailments with no logical cause. The Dr. shows that the mind is capable of so much mischief in the body in the form of pain, numbness, and mysterious symptoms. Deep buried feelings and emotions are some of the things that cause problems in the body that are often erroniously attributed to structural defects. I hope more doctors learn how to diagnose and treat these patients.
