Barabara's TMS /PDP Success Story - Back Pain, Reflux, BMS - Burning Throat and Mouth, Bad Tastes

Barbara lived with anxiety since childhood and, over many years, had back pain, burning in her throat and mouth, digestive and pelvic symptoms, and other shifting complaints that numerous medical tests never clearly explained. After accepting that her brain was producing these symptoms in response to perceived danger, and practicing journaling, reassurance, and continuing to live her life, she reports being '100% better,' with only brief, easily calmed recurrences. Her story illustrates that frightening, long-lasting symptoms can ease significantly once the fear around them is dialed down, and that no single outcome is guaranteed for everyone.
