Is chroinc pain a mental illness? Well, I'd say that's the wrong question. Join us for a slightly off-the-beaten-path conversation about mental illness, chronic pain, and the crazy of it all. It'll be fun. And you'll learn a little more about managing fear so you can keep the "threat" out of the pain-threat cycle and heal from your pain.

You're invited "behind the scenes." Nyle and I recorded a podcast interview (S2 E3-Talking Queer TMS with Nyle Biondi, LMFT). Afterwards, and as the podcast came out, we had a hilarious - and classic TMS personality - conversation. We wanted to share the conversation, and our analysis of the process, with you. Consider this your backstage pass. Join us, because this is a fun one. And it's packed with solid healing wisdom.
