Hi ezer. Thanks for this. So do you simply lie down, close your eyes, and relive some of these moments from your past and let yourself feel whatever emotions come up?
Interesting that we have similar personalities in this way. When I get really nervous or angry or feel especially rejected (like in a break up), my symptoms become much, much worse. So there has got to be some connection.

Re: Mindbody Healing
Age: 39 | Onset Age: 17 | Symptoms: Constant feeling of needing to urinate felt in the tip of penis. Frequency. Urgency. None of the typical pain associated with CPPS. | Helped By: Valium, Klonopin, and very hot baths, followed by lying down still/doing relaxation. Also made almost symptom free for a few seconds following a bowel movement. | Worsened By: stress, anxiety, skipping meals, lack of sleep, extended sitting, coffee, alcohol. NO other pain or discomfort although after ejaculation symptoms will usually get worse unless I lie still for 20 minutes or so. | Other comments: Symptoms began at the moment of ejaculation, disappeared after a few months and then returned a few months later and have not gone away since.
Re: Mindbody Healing
Good question. I would distinguish two sorts of emotions.
For past emotions/trauma, you should definitely set aside some time. It doesn't need to be so formal as to lay down in silence. It could be during a walk or driving your car which usually puts you in a meditative state that is conducive to recalling past events.
In regards to present day emotions, you should do it on a moment to moment basis. The best is to use pain as a signal. Whenever you are distracted by the pain, automatically ask yourself what emotion is the pain trying to dim? State the emotion (overwhelmed, frazzled, anxious etc.) and feel it. You should experience immediately a reduction of your pain. I certainly did experience it in the early days which was extremely encouraging.

Re: Mindbody Healing
Gah. I had a stressful event (bedbug scare) about two weeks ago and went backwards, from 85% to 65%. I have rectal pressure issues that I just can't seem to effect at all.

Re: Mindbody Healing
bump!!!!
Onset Age: 23 , Current Age: 24 Symptoms: Pain in butt/ prostate area, buttocks when sitting for long, pain during sex - especially erections were very painful... pain moved slowly to the left side after reading about the PNE bullcrap. Helped By: Relaxation, massage (temporary relief), the real difference made for me understanding that this is induced by the Brain/Central nervous system as tension, therefore addressing the tension psychologically, not physically. During flare ups I use a strong dose of tramadol - 100mg extended release, works magic for me. If your symptoms improve when distracted or during vacations and stress worsens your symptoms I urge you to:
* Read John Sarno's books
* Read Ezer's story on this site.
* Explore the TMSwiki site and read every single success story there. (even the non CPPS)
* Pay a special attention to Alan Gordon's posts.
* Read Clair Weeks book Hope and help for your nerves (apply the concepts to CPPS).
Current status: more or less cured if stressful events and emotional conflicts did not flare up my symptoms. This does not affect my life in any aspect anymore, because I dont allow it to.
