Welcome to the Connecticut TM Support Group!

Jean Giordano

I feel like I’m coming out of the closet.

Hi; my name is Jean Giordano. I got TM in 1986, but wasn’t diagnosed until 1999. Before that it remained a mysterious, unknown illness. It was a relief to finally know what had happened to me. But I was still alone. Though I did a little research at the library and on the Internet, I wasn’t ready to look too deeply into it. I mentioned my ‘discovery’ to my few friends and family. It did not make much of an impression on them; probably because of my own fears.

Recently, I got an inner nudge to browse the Web again. This time I found the TMA site. I read about other people with TM. I saw that there are support groups and resources, people working to help find a cure, and exploring ways to function better in daily life. I felt a surge of heat in my body, both exciting and uncomfortable. Something in me was aroused from a long slumber.
During all of those years, I searched for healing; by finding the spiritual purpose for having this rare condition, and by using alternative therapies. Now, my quest has brought me to the point of acknowledgment: joining the TMA and starting a support group in Connecticut.

This group is for people who have any form of TM, and their family, friends and care givers. It’s so important to know that there are others out there like you and me who actually understand our experience.

If you live in Connecticut and would like to participate in this group in any way, or have questions and want to talk, please contact me:
