Understanding and Healing from TMS: Diagnosis, Treatment, Psychology

By David Schechter M D and David Schechter

Book Overview

A Classic TMS Educational Resource, Newly Transcribed and Updated

Understanding and Healing from TMS offers a foundational introduction to Tension Myoneural Syndrome (TMS)-a revolutionary approach to understanding and treating chronic pain that focuses on psychological roots rather than structural or chemical causes.

What This Book Offers:

Originally created as The MindBody Audio Program (1996-1999) and now available in book format with contemporary edits and updates, this work captures Dr. David Schechter's clinical thinking and teaching during a pivotal era in mind-body medicine.

Three Parts, One Comprehensive Framework:

Live Seminar Transcription - Dr. Schechter's engaging late-1990s seminar, recently transcribed and edited, explaining the mind-body connection and who is a candidate for this approachDiagnosis and Treatment - A focused audio program transcription detailing the relevant psychology of TMS and practical treatment methodsCase Studies and Psychotherapy Integration - An illuminating interview with a talented psychotherapist, featuring anonymized real-world treatment examples from Dr. Schechter's practice

Why Education Is the Treatment:

TMS healing relies on education and psychological insight rather than pills or procedures. This book embodies that principle, offering the explanatory framework patients need to understand how emotions and stress manifest as physical pain-and how that pain can be reversed.

Who This Book Is For:

Newcomers to TMS seeking an accessible, affordable introduction to mind-body healingExperienced practitioners interested in Dr. Schechter's clinical approach during the formative years of this fieldAnyone seeking alternatives to structural or pharmaceutical pain treatments

Important Note: If you've previously studied The MindBody Audio Program, this book covers the same core material (with updates and edits for contemporary relevance).
