In this episode we explore how our "material world" influences the manifestation of TMS/MindBody Syndrome. Interestingly, the very symptoms that one experiences is influenced not only by one's own personal experiences, but also subconsciously through collective and cultural influences. This leads to the infinite expression of TMS symptoms that one may experience at any given time. Since your belief system is also a factor of the world in which you live, it can be difficult to break free from the mythology of physical symptoms resulting from physical causes. This is especially true when navigating the medical system (both conventional and alternative) as well as simply going about daily life in relationships with friends, family, and the general public. Healing TMS means breaking free from the belief system from which TMS is bred, seeing the holes in the materialistic logic so that you can embrace the truth of the multidimensional mindbody phenomenon. Hopefully you can start to get a glimpse of freedom from TMS - it's closer than you might think!

Are your symptoms a manifestation of Tension Myositis Syndrome? This is a question that you might be asking yourself, especially when seeking the truth behind your experience of health and dis-ease. The short answer to your question is YES... probably so! However, "TMS" is not a "real" medical diagnosis. Medical diagnoses exist for the primary purpose of billing insurance... and secondarily so that medical providers can communicate in a common universal language, albeit reductionistic and narrow-minded. In this episode we unpack the hallmark signs of TMS and how it is of primary importance to accept this "diagnosis" in order to final find freedom from the chronic and insidious symptoms.

In this episode, Dr. Ben explains the science of how symptoms of tension myositis syndrome come to manifest in the body/mind. Some of these ideas are theories that have been explored through Dr. Sarno's work. Dr. Ben also brings his personal experience and understanding to the conversation that expands more into the realm of "metaphysical."
