I get that you need to run a business and we all need to be employed, but the fact that you share SO much open and freely online means that you can possibly change lives of those who 1:1 is not accessible. This is truly amazing and a service to humans 🎉 Thank you!!!!!
Yes, we who are low income truly appreciate videos like this that can help us heal with such wonderful and helpful information for free. I am sharing this with other people, and hope one of them hires you! Many thanks.
this may be a silly point, but maybe if you put “chronic pain” as well as mind body/neuroplastic pain in the title and descriptions, the algorithm may send you more people. not a lot of people sadly search neuroplastic or mindbody but way more are searching chronic pain
Dear Tanner, Thank you so much for sharing your journey❤❤❤I went walking yesterday with my friend, and it was super obvious how much more comfortable I was in my body walking than I was before I started somatic tracking.
Thank you Tanner for this honest video and for all the work you do 💚 I'm recovering from Long Covid and am so glad I found your channel! Wish you all the best! 🌷
Thanks Tanner for this story of recovery, I'm very grateful to have found you here as I move through my own journey of recovery. Your videos are helping me a lot 😊
Back in some of my deepest TMS times, a psysiatrist said I "have big nerves". I laughed when I came to that part in your video! I relate a lot to your story, thank you for sharing.
So glad you are talking about Dr Sarno and Dr Shubiner. Glad I found your channel. This mind body work is how I'm back to living but I'm still not all the way back to all the activities. The fear is still there even tho the pain has reduced from a consistent 8-9 to a 0-1. Going to therapy and doing the work.
Thanks for your honest, heartfelt information and this and all your videos. I’m beginning to think all of what I’m going through was all neural plastic. I’ve been working with an audiologist from Australia to espouse as many of your issues for vestibular problems. You are an inspiration and a wonderful therapist.
Was anyone else told "If you show that the bullying bothers you, they bully you more!" ? What a horrible way to learn to shove your feelings down as a child.
Hello from another highly sensitive person. I too was bullied in my childhood, though was taught to fight back by my amazing mother, thankfully. (I too had loving parents.) But that trauma can get trapped in the muscles and we develop hyper-vigilance that may not ease and that is easily triggered. We don't learn to shake it off the way animals do. Doing Chi Gong, shaking and dancing, havening, and trauma work with books from Peter Levine and James S. Gordon have all helped - but you have a wonderful piece of the puzzle that is helping me get over the top, reduce my tension and lifelong activation and hypervigilance (I was born early because of a violent car accident), and get back to the ventral vagal state that I love so well. I call it "being in the flow" and life is magical when you can be there more often! Thanks for helping me find that again. I am quite confidence the MEFM that worsened after 6 years of being in remission will begin to fade away soon, the pain is beginning to lessen or to spike then calm at a lower level, and the relaxation is extraordinary. Knowledge is power - and you are empowering so many people with these wonderful videos!
Thank you for telling us your story, I too found help through UA-cam after having a slight suspicion I had nervous pain. You are one of the first people I came across a couple of months ago. I also found pandiculation helpful, slow rocking and rolling around on my bed, listening to my body and releasing somatically that way. I listened to what the pain needed and talked to it coaxing out the emotions hiding behind it. I am starting to get my life back again. So I can't thank you enough for putting your advice out there for us to find. 🙏🏻😊💚 Im glad you have your beautiful family and life back.
Thank you for this video! I find surprising that it only took you a few month to heal… it took me 1 year of therapy to improve and sometimes I still get huge flares! I will also try your exercise and I hope to finally start feeling the emotions underlying my pain ☺️
@@Truerealism747 I am curious as to why you are so interested in the nature of my MBS - & no I do not have fybromyalgia. Do you have this condition? Is that why you want know? If you do, I wish you well and a full recovery.
Hi Tanner, I have a question. This fills me with hope and determination but after listening to your recovery process I am not sure how to apply to myself. My pain is really random. It usually hits really badly and with a panic attack maybe 3-7 times per week. The rest of the time I get what I call "warning symptoms" and in between is just fear. So I live in constant fight/flight since it could hit any moment. So, when I lay down and do somatic tracking/get familiar with the pain I don't really get anywhere since I am not feeling it at that time. When it does hit it's all I can do to stay calm and just wait for it to pass. Should I be doing somatic tracking when it's at a 10? Thank you! Never mind I saw your other video and learned you should only do somatic tracking if your symptoms are at a medium not a high level. Well, dang....New question: So would you recommend doing the somatic tracking for let's say 15 min per day (scheduled) and then do your best to ignore the "sensations" throughout the day?
Good question! This can be difficult to do and somewhat personal. I found try to reengage in life was really helpful. This could be taking a course online about a topic you are interested in, starting a passion project at home, connecting with safe people, or doing a hobby. I also have a good video on cultivating indifference that you could check out!
Thanks for sharing this Tanner. Just trying to het an idea on time line of your story. Pain started at 24....what year was that and what year was bachlor party/wedding? And when did they shift happen when u were no longer in "chronic " pain? I know u said it was about 8months or so. Thanks again
I'm so glad it was helpful. I believe my pain may have started when I was 23 actually and in total it was around 3 and a half to four years. Then when I learned about these ideas I was basically out of chronic pain after about 4 months, however it took another 4 months to get back to being active and when I first was increasing activity I would have pain flares sometimes.
I am curious how you didn't end up with non radiographic spondylitis? I have been reading those books and they said you have to rule out autoimmune diseases.
How do you do somatic tracking when you feel pain in different parts of your body at the same time? Which pain do you observe if it’s in different spots?
A few different ways to do it, as it works a bit different for everyone. For myself I would watch it move around or become more pronounced in different areas ,or I would just focus on one body part per tracking.
Thanks for the video! I do wonder, though, if fully buying into it is a must to feel any kind of benefits? I'm using all techniques you mentioned for a while now, but my issue is that I do have a disease with other symptoms that are in my face and then I get cognitive dissonance 😅 I kind of need to be careful because my joints dislocate for example, so I need to think about physical aspect, but I want to benefit from somatic work too because I know for sure that if I stress, I make it way worse and it lasts longer.
I'm glad my content is helpful! Good question. Yes, sometimes if there are clear structural or systemic causes, I have people think about how a portion of the pain is neuroplastic and doing this work can effect that portion. This can potentially deal with the cognitive dissonance. Of course I do not know you case, so cannot state that this is what is happening. But generally this can be a useful line of thinking.
What do you do when you have depression, living in dorsal vagal shutdown but can’t feel your body / sensations (possibly some form of disassociation) ? How do you do somatic tracking when you don’t feel strong sensations in your body at all?!
This can be challenging. I'm sorry to hear what you are going through. Generally it can be useful to try and reconnect with even slight sensations (like touch or movement for example). Again I can't say what would be best for your case, as I don't know your case fully. I will try to do a video on this in the future.
Yes, I imagine you have some small sensation somewhere in or on your body, even if it's minor, like breeze against your skin or the feel of clothing against your body. Maybe focus on that to start before digging deeper?
I'm also suffering this mind body syndrome more than 25 years. Recently I'm suffering from fever over one month, no medicine is working. Could Fever be a mind body syndrome also?
Thanks for reaching out. I'm sorry to hear about your new symptoms. I actually do not know the answer to this question. I would imagine a fever however would not be a mind-body symptom. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

No structural abnormalities of the spine were found for myself.
