Episode 14: Interview with TMS Therapist & Coach Julie Markowitz

How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? This episode of The Shiftshow with Adriana Bucci features a compelling conversation with Julie Markowitz, a psychotherapist and TMS coach who specialises in chronic pain and trauma. Julie shares her personal journey with TMS (Tension Myoneural Syndrome), highlighting her struggles with chronic pain from a young age and how it led her to the path of healing.

Through candid anecdotes, she opens up about her battles with rare autoimmune diseases, fibromyalgia, and pelvic pain, all while dealing with the psychological toll of these conditions. Julie emphasises the importance of understanding and processing emotions, rather than repressing them, as a critical component of healing from TMS. She discusses how childhood trauma and unmet emotional needs can manifest as physical pain, and how recognising these patterns is essential for recovery.

Listeners are encouraged to embrace their emotions, understand their roots, and seek therapy that addresses both mental and physical health. Adriana and Julie explore the idea that healing is not just about eliminating pain but also about rediscovering joy and fun in life. They touch on the necessity of creativity and play in the healing process, urging listeners to give themselves permission to fail and enjoy life without turning it into another task.

This episode is a heartfelt reminder that healing is a journey filled with ups and downs, but it's one worth taking. Are you ready to embrace your emotions and find your path to healing?
