With the increasing number of chronic pain sufferers and the lack of satisfactory solutions leading to healing, there is now a growing trend toward emotional and psychological interventions for pain. Since many components of pain include emotional and psychological aspects, this is a most welcomed and important trend. However, alongside this, there are significant attunements that can turn a treatment performed in the correct “general direction” into a more precise and focused treatment that addresses the specific problem, accordingly leading to a more complete and full resolution of pain.

Even in psychodynamic or psychoanalytic approaches that seek the roots of pain in past traumas and early childhood experiences, success is limited, and treatment often involves long-term and strenuous processes. The reason for this is that for most chronic pain sufferers, the root of the pain is not to be found in the past or in formative experiences from childhood. Rather, it lies in the current reality of the pain experience itself, and its impact on their lives, along with the emotions that pain causes, especially fears and concerns related to the pain itself and the person's ability to engage in normal daily activity.

Unlike these approaches, in the TMS method, we expand and deepen the psychological and emotional understanding of pain, focusing mainly on the emotional and psychological mechanisms associated with it, and employing highly targeted and effective interventions and approaches for healing.

The ability to overcome pain with the help of the psychological aspect depends primarily on understanding the most important emotions that one needs to address and process; in this case, these are fears that not only trigger the exacerbation of pain but also play a significant role in its creation. By understanding the seven common fears in chronic pain, as taught in the training, and employing the most suitable treatment techniques for processing and releasing them, it becomes possible to help the majority of patients progress toward complete recovery from pain.
