The Symptom Imperative - your biggest TMS clue?
When a person experiences a reduction in chronic pain, they may notice that the pain shifts to a different location or is replaced by another condition, such as flu symptoms, which can be a sign of the Symptom Imperative. This phenomenon is not a physical problem, but rather a result of the mind and body's attempt to distract from underlying emotional issues. Recognizing and addressing the Symptom Imperative can be a breakthrough in the healing process for individuals with TMS.
