Mastering the ability to rest will help you heal your chronic pain. Sometimes the hardest “work” is the work of slowing down, of giving up, of letting go, of relaxing, of resting, and of letting yourself just be.
In this Episode:
🔹 What it feels like when your false self steals all your energy.
🔹 The emotional defenses of the TMS personality: perfectionism, goodism, high achievement, repressed anger, and stoicism.
🔹 Rest can mean being on the couch, but it can also mean letting go of the mask.
🔹 So many of us TMS people need a break.
🔹 We need a break from the demands others place on us.
🔹 We also need a break from the demands we place on ourselves.
Join in the conversation today. You’ll hear about a great break I got last year – and you’ll also be invited to tune in to yourself. You can take this time to ask yourself an important question: “What do I need right now?”
