I’ve listened to this wonderful interview now three times and I find new nuggets of wisdom in it each time. Ron, you are a true inspiration to me! Although I experience very different sensations to what you did, I have learned so much from what you said here. I also find that your calm manner and kind voice, have affected me strongly (helping me to feel calmer too) . And your wisdom is second to none! Thank you so much for all that you have shared here with us. And thank you Dr. Yo for all that you do in this TMS space. You are both such incredible people. 🙏☺️
Wow, what a perspective shift I felt after listening to Ron’s post traumatic growth. It gives me the courage to try to have a light touch and a loose grip. Ron is adorable and so well spoken in a comforting way as well. Dr. Yo is the BEST!! I love how she truly listens and responds genuinely to all her guests.
You are Awesome Ron! I think your tips are tremendous. I feel you could teach school kids how to refocus and relieve anxiety some. Because they would listen to you vs other adults. You are calm and steady!! Thank you Dr. Yonit for your care and concern for people like me suffering but on a journey of recovery! ❤ keep teaching us Ron🎉 the world will be a better place.
I'm so grateful to hear about Ron's experience of dissociation!! That's my most sticky symptom at the moment and the lord of the rings analogy is so right ❤️ I've started saying to myself "my experience isn't as grounded as I would like it to be, but that's fine it can stay like that if it wants" instead of repeating thoughts like "my disocciation is bad, nothing feels real, I hate this, why can't I feel normal", and that's been helping a lot with decreasing hypervigilance about it!
Beautiful and inspirational success story! I am so happy for you Ron, it was a pleasure also getting to know you through the program you were always so helpful. Dr. Yo you not only help us with our dizziness journey but our emotional growth as well. You are a fabulous, special, empathetic human being. Thank you for all you do!
This is one of the most helpful success stories yet! Ron is so good at describing with clarity and detail all that he went through and his process of recovery. Worth every minute and will definitely listen again! Thank you, Ron. A thousand times thank you!! 🙏
Wow, I'm only halfway through the interview and I've already cried 3 times. Ron is so wise and the analogies/anecdotes he shares are so specific and really hitting home for me.
Thank you for this very inspiring and refreshing video. This is the first interview that I actually listened to the whole way! I think that I was having a hard time separating my brain and mind and emotions before. But it is interesting to hear him talk about having inner conversations with these parts and how it helped heal his chronic dizziness.
Amazing interview!! Ron, you have a remarkable ability relating to your parts! Truly helpful! So much clarity!! Thank you both! Ron, you’re a great person!
What a great success story! I am about to look further into emotional work, I'm feeling overwhelmed by it but will approach it one stepping stone at a time and trust that it will all fall into place. Congratulations on your steady coach graduation, Ron 😁🎉 Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
First day of trying my best to follow your advises and I’ve played one of the best basketball game I’ve had in months. 3rd month with non-spinning dizziness
Thank you Ron and Dr. Yo! This whole interview was well worth the two hours fascinating and one of my favorite success stories so far! I have been dealing with new daily persistent headache 24/7 since 2020 and dizziness also since then. Found out I have fibromuscular dysplasia in my carotid arteries which can cause these symptoms but I'm not 100% convinced so I'm so sad because I I haven't had any relief from any of the treatments the treatments. I am learning a lot from these stories though! thank you so much
Very grateful to listen to this . Beatlejuice world is where I am currently residing. My husband was driving me to the doctors recently and we came to a zebra crossing (uk, not sure what they are called elsewhere ) and I couldn't work out if I was sat in the car or the person crossing infront of our car.. its like one minute I was sat next to my husband then the next my eyes jumped to almost being in the head of the person walking across infront of us .weird .
I'm having difficulty with exactly what you've mentioned in the last few minutes: I continually experience simple movements as dizziness due to the hypervigilance. As a result I am constantly tensed and cramped because of the fear of dizziness!
@DaniEla-of4eo -- sorry you are experiencing this dizziness. My experience was similar. Yes, you described it exactly right -- the fear of dizziness keeps the dizziness active. It is a loop. The somatic tracking we discussed in the last half of the video helped me break that loop by learning to become aware the dizziness was not itself dangerous or something to fear. Over time this allowed the dizziness to stop being triggered by fear of it.
Hi dr yo. Ive listened to this and wondered can you please clarify what exactly helped rons dizziness go away?? It seems im missing something, what did it start from? I don't recall what his trigger was like a virtigo attack or panic attack? Sorry but when i listen to all of the success stories they have all joined your personal coaching group. Ive only done the free course. Do you think i can only get better if i join the personal coaching? Or are there others git better on their own. Thanks
Hi Yvonne, the majority of the success stories on my channel are not people who were in my coaching group and you can absolutely get better without it! You can find a whole playlist of success stories here (41 and counting): ua-cam.com/play/PLFf7T0374CmC4e-krn3BzPvtd3ZwXcabj.html Ron's trigger was a fall, he hit his head and several months later had dizziness so they called it post concussion syndrome (which makes no sense)
Dr Yonit, just 1 more thing. My main issue still is process information in my brain. it is still a microsecond late all day long. and that makes me feel unstable all day. Especially when standing "still" i never feel like my brain is also not moving...not like on a boat but just always mini bits moving. Is that really still normal in neural circuit diziness? More people are experiencing this? Is it just a software problem that really can settle once i have no fear and attention etc anyymore?
Dear Dr Yonit I was well on my way to recovery..BUT..found out pre menopause had already hit me 7 years ago. Little symptoms than. But in these 7 years more and more. Last 4 years my worst symptom was delayed processing problem. I worked on that and, i did have a couple if times with almost no delayed sensations! But, last june i had to stop taking the ac pill. And switch to something else. Because pre menopause symptoms got worse. Anxiety, hartpalpitations, warm, panic erousel. I got HRT. For 3 months now, i first did good, than i stopped them (for a stupid reason) and now a few weeks started again taking them.. I feel all over the place with hormones. That is reay bad. But what is worse, i feel SO delayed again! More than ever. Now, my question is: 1 do you know if people get these delayed issues because of the progesteron pill? ( Utrogestan). It has a slight side effect that people can get a bit sleepy when they take it at night. 2 Do you know if people with menopause and low hormones get delayed processing issues just because of not having enough hormones to make your brain work well? Or is it more likely that this is all a consequence of my bppv and tha. pppd? I want to take hrt, because i think when my sensations due to the pre menopause are less, my remaining pppd/ delayed stuff can also dissapear finally... Really hope to hear feom you. By the way i saw the interview about the woman with pppd and menopause...❤
Unfortunately there is no good research on the relationship between hormones, HRT and dizziness. From my experience, I view the hormonal issues as "making your stress bucket smaller" meaning they do not CAUSE dizziness but they make your brain much more sensitive to stressors and make it more likely you will end up with a neural circuit issue. I highly, highly encourage women to consider HRT - in consultation with their healthcare providers - because that could potentially make the stress bucket more resilient.
I have downloaded an emotions/feeling wheel and just wanted to know how to use it. I'm guessing it's to help identify my feelings to understand what they are. Is this right?
Hi Dr Yonit, I have a smell query, plzz reply. I have been getting this chronic dizziness and mild tension type headaches since last 2 years. My neurologist asked me to get a plain CT Scan back then, an eeg last year, both of them came back normal. I also got physical testing done by an ent, which was again normal. I feel this has to be neural circuit issue and I am working on it . Looking at the absence of any severe neurological symptoms and the above reports, my neurologist denied the need of any MRI, when I asked him about it. Do I really need an MRI to absolutely rule things out or that CT scan is enough? Should I force my neurologist to recommend me an MRI, or there is no need ?
I deeply related to the double vision regarding text as that is a symptom that popped up a month ago (after a year on this journey) and is very alarming. Trying to avoid another doctors appointment and remove the fear. Has anyone else experienced this where text is double? Even had to turn off subtitles and dark mode on my phone.
Hi, Dr. Arthur! Have you had people in The Steady Coach community who started having bizarre symptoms after Botox injections (for migraines or cosmetic purposes)?
I was diagnosed with PPPD after ENT said i had left inner ear weakness. It is very visual but i was wondering is it common to get Black spots in your vision once in a while and feel totally disconnected from your body only to return to normal 20/30 mins later? This was a very scary symptom. I have been battling for 16 months with this.
My own migraines usually had blind spots that went away after a short time. And the disconnected feeling you describe sounds very much like the disassociation I described in this video. I sympathize deeply, because it is a very scary experience. I hope it helps to understand it is temporary and that the brain is doing this deliberately in response to fear. Being able to feel safe and curious about the experience (despite it being unpleasant) helped me a great deal.
Your brain can respond to chemicals with the same "alarm" signal as it can respond to movement triggers. This is often a neuroplastic/neural circuit issue.

Thank you Dr Yo and Ron. Such a similar thing but your story brings up emotions that I did not believe have a part to play in recovery. Well done!

constant head pain here since 2023... idk how i do it some days, been working on tms for a year
Very Nice And Helpful Story -
The delayed reaction is key with this condition. Although it could be relatively immediately. But delayed response is a key indicator.

I defer to your physician and find that physicians are usually good at figuring out if someone needs more imaging. Not everyone needs an MRI!
