Also it makes it seem potentially fixable - 'if I can fix/process the trauma, the pain will go away'. I think that's probably the most seductive...
I strongly agree with every bit of this.
That's absolutely appalling. She wasn't qualified to be asking you such intrusive and potentially triggering questions without any warning. Like...
Just an update on my vaccine experience - I posted here a while ago not sure if I should get it or not. I send the ME Ass letter to my GP. Had a...
Good points. The thread is here https://www.s4me.info/threads/book-the-body-keeps-the-score-bps-type-rubbish.16299/#post-280866 The book is...

Sorry, I should probably know this, but what are the 2HLA risk alleles?
I use Twilight on my android, I don't know if it's available for apple.
So thoughts don't cause the physical symptoms but emotions do. (Fear is an emotion.) But thoughts are intrinsically linked to emotions - thoughts...
I don't think we should allow the debate about how ME is treated to be tied up with the debate about whether psychological factors can influence...
